Ayrshire Food Hub in East Ayrshire

Been here a few times, it’s always had long waiting times but the place is a shambles. About 8 members of staff and no structure, they all do a bit of everything but don’t actually finish anything. Lack of control or structure leads to delays. Arrived and no order taken after the 20 p mins. Table next to us even said they’re before us. We then get one drink but had to ask for my coffee twice. The lady apologies, starts making it and wanders off again. Food comes, baked potato dry and table next to us said the same. We had to ask two seperate waitresses for condiments. Sat waiting to eat our meal. Table next to us get theirs and the waitress drops half their chips on the table and walks off. No replacement or apology. Then go to pay and stand with again no apology for the wait whilst 3 of them around the till. Showing a girl how to use it but 3 of you! Will not be back!!?

Service is good. Staff pleasant Always busy so I would phone and book a table so not disappointed. Food is good

Had egg mayonnaise sandwich & chicken sandwich (recommended) sponge cake was yummy 😋

Everyone tucked into your delicious scones with jam and cream. They were definitely a winner. Thank you From M McKay

Very disappointed with my pancakes, they were tiny and had obviously been put in the microwave, for the price they charge this is not good enough.

Good fresh food,staff efficient and friendly well worth a visit,would advise to book

A bit pricey but the quality of the food more than makes up for that! 🙂

Busy place . Staff friendly and quick service. Maybe require to book a table. Nice shop with local grown and handmade products. Worth a visit for coffee and vast choice of cake or lunch.

Delicious food and friendly staff, nice location too. Does get busy at lunch times so would advise booking in advance

Lovely venue, good selection of food. First time visiting but will be back

Very friendly and lovely staff very clean . Food beautiful lovely little gift shop to

Very nice place, excellent food. The fresh milk is fantastic!

Had a small breakfast with ny daughter this morning as she hasn't been before. Our sausages were pink, barely even warm and the bacon looked on the undercooked side too. Have had breakfast here many times and it's been lovely but a total let-down today. Didn't send it back as I couldn't have eaten anything else after that.

Try anywhere you want in Ayrshire, then come here and try the best.

Lovely lunch here mushroom soup was a tad watery other than that very tasty

Amazing food, homemade soups, cakes, oh the cakes are out of this world, best place for breakfast, lunch, high tea 100% love it and the staff are all so lovely too.

A regular haunt for breakfast and lunch - never disappoints. Went to the new ‘round the world’ evening - fabulous Italian meal this time. A really fantastic community- based restaurant place to eat and buy local produce.

Friendly atmosphere first class service great food plenty selections thumbs up for classic bike club coffee mornings

Visited mainly for the shop which was expensive and disappointing. Dod not visit cafe as it was mobbed to assume the food is good

Went there today with friends,don't know what went wrong but the food was undercooked and cold,not up to there usual standard.

After driving past the food hub at least 15 times now on journeys to work I finally got the chance to stop off and try the food. It was absolutely 100% worth the visit! The food is absolutely AMAZING! The cheeseburger was delicious and filled with top quality beef and Arran cheese. The jacket potato (coronation chicken) was perfectly cooked and filled us up a treat. Friendly atmosphere and even though the cafe was pretty much full the staff all managed to make us feel welcome and not rushed. Can’t wait to go back again

Great find just south of Glasgow. This wonderful cafe/shop serves great locally sourced food and all monies made go towards community charities. There is a wonderful little arts/craft shop on the side selling local produce and unique items from jewelry, to jams, to scarfs to food. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and the whole place has a laid back family feel. Is worth reserving as they get busy and I imagine even more so as the weather gets warmer. There is also an outside area for the warmer weather. Well worth a visit.

I had a quick look in the farm shop and ended up buying some slice sausage, cooked it yesterday and it was delicious 😋

Went for breakfast, but pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. Wonderful little shop attached to the restaurant, selling assorted items, most of which is locally sourced.

Great place to eat, food is excellent and made onsite. Worth checking their website, they do a superb high tea every second Thursday, but you have to book. Breakfast menu is also excellent. Has a deli type shop, well stocked.

As a regular to the East Ayrshire food hub, I've always been delighted by the quality of the food, it can hold its own against the best restaurants in and around Ayrshire. Very friendly staff and very affordable prices. Just had Christmas lunch, " traditional fayre", and was first class, starter and mains inc tea/coffee, came to £18 per person.

Always good for a soup 'n' sandwich combo!

This was our second visit and it was even better than the first. Food choice was good, food quality very good and service friendly. Good quality drinks. Lot of marketing material out of date so that needs attention. Adjacent shop showcases local suppliers.

The ethos behind the Hub is fantastic. Always great service from friendly staff and tasty well prepared food from a coffee and cake to full plates of lovely and homely food. Farm shop attached which includes many locally produced wares and veg from the Hun garden. A great space with plenty of parking and outdoor seating for when the weather is decent.

Cafe food is absolutely exceptional. Farm shop with locally produced grass fed exceptional quality beef and lamb as well as loads of other quality things to buy.

Festive fashion show was fab. Nibbles and fizz provided too

Delicious food, good selection of tray bakes etc, nice weee farm shop with plenty gifts and food to purchase.

Lovely tea and cakes with generous servings of both. Friendly staff checked for allergies. Cafe doesn't allow dogs inside, massive plus for me.

Dropped in for some breakfast with friends and it has to be the best in the area, food was delicious and reasonable value. Highly recommend. Still the best breakfast in the area.

Plenty parking. Despite being very busy, we were found a table and served really quickly. ( the only negative thing was it was a little noisy but then it was good to see people chatting and enjoying each others company! ) Food was tasty and we enjoyed a wander round the shop afterwards and purchased a mince round to take home( it was delicious too! )

Great place to eat, brilliant what the do to help the local communities,

What a lovely place, most tables were booked, so that shows you how busy it is, the service was great and so was the food😊

We go here on a Saturday for breakfast & rarely disappointed.

Lovely wee shop and tearoom definitely be visiting again. Outside area was lovely.

First time there, but I will be back very soon.

Nice, local place with good options for lunch and afternoon tea.

A gem of a place, off the beaten track! The staff are great and all volunteers! The food is of excellent quality, locally sourced and very fresh! Overall, its a great place

Lovely and clean with good local produce at reasonable prices. toilets lively and clean. Good parking.

Only there to listen to concert so tray bake and tea eaten.

It was so very clean and staff are lovely . I had a jacket potato with prawns and I do admit it was very tasty plus plenty of prawns Thank you x

Nice breakfast very reasonably priced.

Food was really good and a nice atmosphere.

Went to a craft market here. Was very squashed you could hardly move past the tables. The cake was wonderful. Will go back again

What a great find. This place is perfect for a lunch or breakfast. Cakes are awesome. Farm shop has good selection of products. Will visit again very soon

Food very nice staff were very nice

A great community hub cafe selling nice food and has a great cafe too. Highly recommended.

Had lunch here with two friends... my first visit and will definitely return.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch. Everything was freshly cooked and nicely presented. Generous portions so skip breakfast if you’re planning lunch! It’s very popular and therefore busy so be prepared to wait at peak times, but you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely homemade soup and toastie..and the cakes are delicious 😋

Fantastic place to grab a meal. Ingredients are sourced from local suppliers, and are also available to purchase in the shop. The food is wonderful, fresh and cooked to order.

Wonderful food and staff excellent

Visited with friends for coffee ! Had booked a table but took ages for staff to notice we were waiting at door to get seated and had wrong time ! Slow to take order ! Varied menu ! Veggie breakfast options ! Price reasonable ! Toilets clean and working order ! Food good but service slow was busy could have been the reason x

Multiple visits, food and service continue to shine

Great place with lots of local produce. The cafe looks really good too. The monthly market which started today Feb 23 was well attended, very busy and had lots of craft stalls.

Was at the Craft Fair., it was really busy and lovely stalls with a great variety

Great food great service friendly atmosphere

Friendly busy community restaurant

A great asset to East Ayrshire. All about community and support for local producers, and providing varied activities for all.

Lovely environment, with great food and personable staff.

This place is top notch. Great food all locally sourced. Cracking breakfast. Love places like this that have links to the farmers around the area. Gem !!!

Food was absolutely delicious but £30 for lunch for 2 is very high

Great breakfast with the highest quality, service outstanding.

Everything is amazing . Food is fantastic and staff are very friendly and the have a farm shop too

All staff were great just bit cold to eat your lunch

Been here several times and we love it!

Little gem of a place. Food was delicious.

Four of us stopped for a visit and had a lovely breakfast. The full Scottish fry up was excellent. I returned later with my wife and her mother for lunch and a coffee and cake. The food is gorgeous, especially the cakes and scones. The breakfast was a couple of pounds dearer than Morrisons but certainly worth it, it's all local produce, and it supports a local community owned project. The service was quick and the staff are lovely. Ayrshire Food Hub is taking root deep within the agricultural heartland of the west of Scotland. Located just outside Hurlford, the Hub is home to our café , a development kitchen, meeting room, a growing garden, and our Ayrshire farm shop, which will also distribute fresh local produce online. Celebrating local producers, Ayrshire Food Hub supports local talent and shares fresh, vibrant food from Ayrshire whilst cutting food miles. Ayrshire food from Ayrshire folk. With our parent charity, Crossroads Community Hub, at the heart of the project, there will be new opportunities for everyone. Exercise, health, leisure, and learning activities all with local as the central focus. Plus, cooking classes for all ages, rural craft and gardening groups, fitness groups and kids’ classes. We want to create a dynamic hub of activity where community support and cultural activities can flourish.

Been today for the first time for breakfast. The quality of the produce was very high and overall the meal was outstanding. Will return again very soon. Probably the best full breakfast I've ever had.

Very friendly staff and great products available. Good coffee available to suit your taste.

We had a lovely lunch, with delicious soup and freshly made bread. The sandwiches were also really tasty. We also visited the shop and were delighted to see vegetables freshly picked and other foods made locally.

Nice food, well presented. Worth a visit💖

Beautiful restaurant. Staff very attentive and kind towards our children. My husband especially loved the jam and coconut sponge with custard. Will definitely be visiting again!

Excellent breakfast fresh and nice surrounding.

We had afternoon tea. It was delicious. A great selection of sandwiches and tray bakes and scones and a sweet. Everything was well presented and service was very good too.

One of the best burgers I have had in a long time thanks 😊

Lovely wee place. Food was excellent. Very good quality and shop was very nice and reasonable. Workers were very nice and grounds were beautiful.

Great bowl of Vegetable broth today with lovely bread, also had superb Banoffee pie. Glad we live close by, we will be back.

Great wee hidden gem, had a great breakfast here with my partner. Will definitely be back

Amazing lunch and very friendly and helpful staff

Great place - only a fleeting visit after they stayed open 5 mins late so I could buy some local cheese 🧀.....the pods outside look magic for family lunches and the produce inside looks so appetising 😋

Beautiful food. Very understanding about our allergies. Highly recommend

2nd visit and fantastic again. Had a baguette & soup, followed by lovely coffee & cake. Lovely staff and a farm shop, a great place with lovely relaxed vibe

Was just passing and saw the sign.Had fish and chips and the fish was melt in the mouth.Absolutely done to perfection.My wife had a burger of some sort which,again,was done to perfection.Service was good,quick and friendly.Bought some stuff from the farm shop on the way out as well.Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Gorgeous little place. Locally sourced products for breakfast and a really beautiful outside seating area amongst flowers and vegetables. You can hear the birds, watch cows in the next field and buy some local produce from the onsite farm shop.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly welcome. Will definitely be back!

Staff and food is amazing great wee shop will be back

Delicious bacon and tattie scone roll and good coffee

We found this on our way north, stopping for a cup of tea. It was so good we stopped on our way south a week later for breakfast. Lovely staff, good food. It seems you might need to book if it's likely to be busy. The farm shop looked good too.

Visit on sunday for lunch, great food, friendly service and great coffee. Will be back.

Fantasic food and service this place is a hidden gem

Really good food served by really nice people
