Groucho’s on the Square
Review
Groucho’s on the Square, a beloved institution in Richhill, remains as relevant today as it was when I endorsed it in my first Island of Ireland book. Owned by Peter Lyness, who has carried on his father’s legacy with unwavering dedication, this pub is a true Northern Ireland gem. The atmosphere is unbeatable, a charming blend of history and character, making it feel like a treasure trove of a distant past. Beyond its inviting ambiance, Groucho’s is renowned for its top-tier food offering, thanks to one of the province’s finest chefs Mervyn Steenson. Whether it's a classic comfort dish or something more inventive, the kitchen consistently delivers exceptional quality. Combined with an outstanding front-of-house team, every visit guarantees warm hospitality and a fantastic experience. Located in the picturesque village of Richhill, Groucho’s is a must-visit for anyone seeking great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a slice of true local heritage.
