LIQUIDATORS acting on behalf of a “popular” Renfrewshire bar and restaurant have moved to put the outlet on the market.
Joint liquidators George Lafferty and Barry Stewart of Leonard Curtis have instructed Shepherd Chartered Surveyors to find a buyer for the River Inn.
The country bar and restaurant, which recently ceased trading, is located in Crosslee, Houston, a popular commuter village lying five miles west of Paisley.
Shepherd described the River Inn as a “substantial” space contained within a large detached two-storey of part traditional and part modern construction. The original section of the property was built as a coaching house in the 19th century and has been extended in more modern times, principally around the 1960s/1970s, with further extensions in the late 1990s to form the present accommodation.

Shepherd noted that the building is fitted out to a high standard and comprises a reception and bistro, Chrysalis restaurant, family bar, toilets, kitchen, and stores on the ground floor. A sports bar/function room, restaurant, toilets, kitchen, and stores are located on the upper floor.
Gary Louttit, head of hospitality and Leisure at Shepherd, said: “As well as offering a long-established popular country restaurant and bar with limited local competition, the property and site also offer an attractive opportunity for alternative development, including residential.”
Offers in excess of £850,000 are being invited by the agent.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
