Fabulous evening had at McCaskie Butchers & Cafe ‘pop up’ steak night. Phenomenal service from the outset and throughout evening. Menu was fantastic with a varied selection of tempting dishes. Mark the cafe manager suggested a lovely red wine from the extensive selection and it was a perfect accompaniment to what was to come. Decided on shin of beef and spring rolls between us as starters and we were not disappointed; perfect start to a dining treat. Both came with accompanying sauces which were quite simply stunning and beautifully presented. As it was a ‘pop up steak night’….at a butchers shop we both ended up choosing steaks; we went for fillets but were so tempted by the other steak cuts and protein options such as lamb, chicken stuffed with haggis and haggis (vegetarian option too). We chose to ‘pimp up’ our meal with Mac and cheese, onion rings and some surf upgrades with some of the biggest prawns I’ve seen in Scotland (unfortunately scallops were sold out) which was a ‘greedy’ but wise choice. All food was cooked to perfection and compliments to staff for standard of cooking and presentation. We had a lovely evening in great surroundings with great service from Mark and Laura. Everyone we heard were very complimentary of the food and service. Congratulations to staff and owners for a fantastic culinary experience!! Will no doubt be back for their monthly ‘pop up’ events and to their daily cafe and butcher business.

McCaskie's is a great wee place for delicious fresh food and friendly service. We've been twice and each time the food has been excellent - all fresh from the butchers next door. The staff are very friendly and the service is very good.

My daughter, Fenella and our friend Philomena absolutely ADORE McCaskies. The manager, Randal, and other staff Felicia and Jemima are simply wonderful! The bants and humour are second to none. The food is simply exquisite and the attention to detail, right down to extra napkins when I dribble my food make the dining experience enjoyable and worthwhile. Randal kindly manhandles my friend Philomena into a taxi when she's had 2 sweet sherries too many - a Prince amongst men!

Delightful little family-owned cafe opposite the ferry terminal. Swift, cheerful service, and the menu offers a good selection of snacks, sandwiches and more substantial meals. Fresh, tasty, and served in generous portions. The retail butcher shop deservedly wins awards for the quality and presentation of its Aberdeen Angus steaks and other meat products.

Very convenient location across the street from the train station. The waiter was immediately attentive and showed us to a table. Great menu offering and we both had the toasted halloumi and pesto sandwich with lentil soup. The soup was delicious, as was the sandwich. Top marks. Great service and highly recommend.

Very disappointed by the waiter. On arrival at 3.15pm we waited to be seated, waiter shouted over to us were we in for food or a drink, we confirmed we were just in for coffee, to which he replied "Do you know we shut at 4pm?". We took our seat and waited to be served, after 2 tables that arrived after us, getting served before us, I asked said waiter if we could order to which he replied "I forgot you were even there". After that he apologised every time he came near the table, but in the most insincere manner. When we went to the counter to pay, he tried to push past me to go in to the butchers and again over exaggerated this, to which the waitress serving us found this hysterical and couldn't stop laughing. Had he had the manners to say "excuse me" I would've known he was there. He needs some customer service training or indeed to grow up. Not a pleasant experience!

Stopped in for lunch a few weeks back, sorry for the late review ! It was great !! Right opposite the ferry terminal, so easy to find. Parking was busy, holiday weekend, but there is a pay n display just before the Suzuki garage. Lunch was superb !! Wife had the chicken pakora wrap, and it was huge !! Not too spicy, but a wee nip, just perfect she said. I had the spicy chicken fillet burger, and it was delicious ! Wife had a pink gin and lemonade, muggin`s was driving, so had an Americano coffee ! Very reasonable prices, service was 1st class. Popped into the butcher`s shop next door and ended up taking away some slice sausage, mince round etc. Some of the choices were awesome. I would well recommend, and we will return. Thank you...........

As ever, the service and quality of food could not be faulted, very nice indeed. My only (repeated) concern is the tea. I have commented in the past that a a good strong quality pot of tea would sit better with your excellent fare, as the tea bags on offer lets you down. I trust that you may take this recommendation on board in the positive and constructive manner that I intended.

We visited the McCaskies cafe for a late breakfast, but on seeing the specials board we were spoilt for choice. The food was freshly prepared very tasty and filling. The staff were informative and welcoming. The Decor is modern with a rural feel very light and clean. Next door is a Butchers shop that sells Scottish reared meats, lovely pies and other produce. They also sell a good selection of wines to compliment your dishes. Friendly and again informative.

This is a great place to stop for lunch. I had the Crispy Sweet and Spicy Sticky Beef and my wife the Italian Sausage Pasta. Both dishes were extremely good which is no surprise given they are part of one of the best butchers businesses in the UK. The service was first class, great value for money and we can’t wait to return next time we are in Wemyss Bay direction. Coffees were good as well and the cakes looked really good - maybe next time.

3 sisters and wee Mammy stopped here for lunch after a visit to the beach. Well, we were NOT disappointed. We had to wait for a table ( always a good sign). We spent the time shopping In the attached butchers and deli . Wee Mammy had the haddock, 2 sisters had the steak sandwich and 1 sister (me) had the garlic chicken( from the specials board). This food is top quality. I have to say it is the nicest, juiciest chicken I’ve had in a long time , the mash and veg were also delicious, I could in fact have ate double the amount of veg it was THAT good. Mammy raves about the fish and both sisters couldn’t fault the steak . Cakes afterwards were also fab. As for the service .... top notch. All staff had lovely smiley faces and were happy to advise us on what to have . We normally go to a different beach every week . I would happily travel the hour or so JUST to eat here.

I visited early in the morning for their advertised opening time - the cafe opens later than the butchers shop, so one to watch out for. There's a traditional Scottish breakfast on offer and of course they use their own meat. Sausages were tasty and definitely something to pick up and take home. There is a take away service if you go when the weather is better and there was a continual flow of people for this service. Take away to the ferry? You're only across the road from the ferry terminal.

Whenever I’m back in town I usually meet a mate for breakfast, last couple of times we’ve met here. Service is fine for a small cafe but the meat is second to none (as you would expect from a cafe attached to a butchers). Mate always gets full cooked breakfast, which is brilliant for £8 odds, I got the eggs benedict with bacon and black pudding. I wouldn’t say the coffee was amazing but I’m not there for that. Prices are good for what you get. If you’re there, stop in.

Normally stop off in Largs for lunch but due to traffic congestion came on to Wemyss Bay. Clean well presented restaurant with a reasonable slection of dishes. We both ordered Beef and Carmelised onion Ciabatta. After a protracted wait, when looking around it soon became obvious that many were waiting on their orders being served.The carry-out customers seemed to get priority Thirty-five minutes later it arrived and thankfully the McCaskie's own beef was excellent. Wouldn't want to be rushing for the Rothesay ferry or trying to avoid a parking ticket!

We decided to have a meal here after word of mouth recommendations. My husband and I both had cheeseburgers and chips and they were fantastic. I followed this with hot apple and rhubarb pie and cream and my husband had ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised at the bill. It was definitely good value. Beware if you take your car, the waitress told us that you are only allowed to park for an hour on the main road and there is a traffic warden. The restaurant has a small car park that takes maybe 4/5 cars. Otherwise there is a parking lot a few yards away that costs £3 for 24 hours. You can also park in the railway station car park for £3 for the day, although it is free for rail users. Unfortunately the restaurant is not open in the evenings and closes around 5pm/6pm depending on the day. I will definitely return, they have several dishes I want to try including the steak pie. It is no wonder the food is good as the restaurant is next door to their award winning butchers shop.

First of all I love this place so today I was really disappointed to get below par food. It's not a cheap breakfast and as a family it a rare treat. French toast was 2 slices of very thin cut bread and some very oily bacon, priced at £7ish. I would have no issue paying this if I had gotten what was described. They were very busy so it took 30mins to get our order, this was explained to us and we were happy to wait, however as sit down customers paying more for the experience it's frustrating that take away customers are served and given their orders quicker.

With a holiday let property nearby, we always recommend The Seaview Cafe to our guests for breakfast. It's Scottish breakfast is HUGE and really sets you up for the day. The quality of ingredients is excellent and we can't recommend it highly enough. A great place for lunch and dinner too. The attached butcher and deli provides the cafe with all of it's meat products and it's award winning haggis is amazing. We always make sure there is an up to date menu on display in our holiday lodge. It is advisable to make a reservation especially at weekends as this place fills up very quickly. Sign up to McCaskies 'Deli Deals' to be kept abreast of the frequent deals. The Steak Conniseurs Pack is great value and can be delivered straight to your door.

The food is always lovely - nicely presented, consistent, fresh and showcases the food on offer in the attached butchers and deli. The staff are pleasant and welcoming, the place is always spotlessly clean. The wine list is good and extremely reasonably priced. My only criticism is that they shut sharply and that's not always conducive to good customer service,

We were taking the ferry over to Bute and stopped for a quick bite for lunch. The restaurant was quite busy and after we ordered, we were a little panicked that we might not get our food in time before the ferry arrived, as it was all cooked fresh. Thankfully though it did arrive in time and it was very good. I had a coronation chicken toastie and it was lovely. My side of chicken broth soup was running a bit late, so the staff put it in a takeaway cup for me to enjoy on the boat. It was thick and delicious with lots of veg and barley. My husband’s breaded fish and chips looked really good. The fish was cooked lovely and the dish was not at all greasy.

On an adventure day with my friend and popped in here before train home. Got a latte, tea and cake, with it only totally £5 - so cheap! Definitely a hidden gem. Views are beautiful too, especially on a nice day. Cute little place

This afternoon myself and my wife went to the Seaview for the first time, nice decor inside and friendly staff, I ordered the flat iron steak which was on the specials board my wife had macaroni and cheese which came with the nicest salad I have tried the dressing was delicious and also a generous amount of fries I didn’t try the mac and cheese but my wife said it was excellent, the steak was cooked to perfection lovely peppercorn sauce with it was also very good, washed down with a great coffee and a lovely fruit scone, first time I have been to the Seaview and certainly won’t be the last, thank you for the great service

Nice decor and very attentive, cheerful service. I had Minestrone Soup and Chicken Coronation combo served with a garnish of mixed salad, nicely dressed and creamy coleslaw. The soup was Harty and very tasty as was the toasty. My other half had the Steak Pie served with lovely creamy mash and string beans, very tasty too. A coffee and a water brought our bill to just over £20. I think this will be our go to when we are in the area.

Passing this little cafe on our motorbike when something caught our eye, I don’t know if it was the fresh fish sign or the fresh baking but we pulled up, we smooched. We went inside. We ate then we smooched some more then we talked about how amazing the food was. Then we had an ice cream and it was amazing with Scottish tablet in it. If passing by and looking for nice local food this is the place to go.

I regularly visit McCaskies and am always delighted. The range of butchery and delicatessen items is very good. The range of fresh meats is top quality always.

I have bought my butcher meat at McCaskies for many years as the quality and service in both the butchers and delicatessen areas are excellent. However the same cannot be said for the cafe. I have tried the cafe a few times but unfortunately come away with the same issues. Went in on Saturday morning for breakfast. The cafe was about half full, but as soon as we ordered the girl said it would be at least 20 minutes. We went next door to the butchers and placed and picked up our order. It took 35 MINUTES for a cooked breakfast to arrive. How can it take this amount of time to fry some bacon, sausages and an egg!!!! Unfortunately this has happened before. As others have commented the 2 girls who serve here are a major issue. We have been in for breakfast before to be told that window tables were reserved, so had to sit in the middle tables. No one sat at these tables while were there. The serving and kitchen staff here need a serious overhaul. Even if the food is excellent, I won’t be back until then.

We popped down to Wemyss Bay for lunch (our first attempt at the weekend failed because the place was so busy, but thankfully we were lucky to get a table on a holiday Monday).

We have eaten here a lot and the food is usually good. My all day breakfast today was a bit of a disaster. The fried egg was overcooked as were the sausage slice and the potato scone. A pity to start out with such good ingredients and then spoil them by inatentive cooking. My husband's omelette however was delicious.

Now you don’t get any better in and around Inverclyde and North Ayrshire when it come to Butchers. Excellent is the only description fitting. There takeaway service is merely average. My piece of steak slice was delicious but was dwarfed by the roll it sat in. When I have a slice roll I want the slice to fill the roll; completely.

My family went in for lunch. We wanted ciabattas but they didn’t have any. We were very disappointed as we had to have bread instead. It wouldn’t have been as bad if the bread was fresh, thick cut but it was just your bog standard medium sliced bread (not even toastie). One of them had been toasted to within an inch of it’s life so it was flat and unappealing. It was served with the smallest amount of side salad as possible and a teaspoon of coleslaw. It was not good value for money at all. It wasn’t worth any more than £4.50. On the plus side, the cakes were very tasty. We have eaten here a number of times but this visit has ensured we won’t be back.

Well up to it's normal high standards, good place to eat ideally suited to the traveler, buy car, train or ferry, believe Nigel is missing a trick by closing before the evening trade.

Perfectly adequate. Decent piece of steak slice on a roll, tasty. Top class butcher meat is the best you could wish for.

Had fish and chips here as we were staying at the caravan site and it was lovely. Fish was fresh and crispy and they even had chippy sauce which we didn't expect on the west coast!
