Salt & Barrel in East Ayrshire

Great food and drink served by attentive staff in a courteous and efficient manner. This is one of the best places to eat, and well worth booking to try it.

This is a lovely relaxing place to be. Attentive service from students + lots of lovely food to try. As it'spart of KilmarnockCollege prices are very reasonable so you can enjoy all three courses and alcohol free cocktails. Phone and book a table for later in September.

The food was fresh and tasty. Lovely surroundings and friendly, efficient service. Already looking forward to another visit.

I would highly recommend this place! Had a delicious Christmas lunch today at Salt and Barrel, as part of a group of 14 ladies. The food served was excellent, as was the service. Everyone was very efficient and most welcoming. It was great value, at £15.50 for a most beautifully presented five course meal. This was my first visit to Salt and Barrel and I hope to visit again. Well done to all involved.

We go to salt & barrel with friends & have never had a bad meal. The young people do a fabulous job serving the tables & chat about their jobs & the food.

Lunch here was enjoyable and well presented with the students coping well with a busy service. Would visit again.

We had an excellent lunch at Christmas, and thoroughly enjoyed the menu selection. The staff (who are all training) were courteous, friendly and very helpful. It is advisable to book, as it can be quite busy.

Having promised ourselves a meal here since it opened, we eventually made it today. What can I say. . . Food excellent, service excellent, restaurant immaculately clean. From entering the doors to leaving everything was superb. Will definitely be back. Would advise booking as opening hours are restricted, these guys are in training but the service is second to none!

Hello folks, after hearing some good rumours about a restaurant in the new Kilmarnock college grounds, we decided to investigate, subsequently arriving at the said restaurant, we were asked if we had booked, a bit puzzled we said no, but they found us a table (strongly advise booking now) anyway some smartly dressed students arrived and handed out the menu and asked what we wanted to drink (no alcohol at that time) soft drinks were ordered and promptly delivered, meal orders we very professionally taken and before long our meals were placed on our table, again very professionally (remember these guys n' gals are in training) so to finish this review, the food was very good, we left the restaurant pleased with our wee sojourn to the "Salt & Barrel" If you decide to try remember to telephone and book due to the restrictions on opening times.
