Attended late for food and staff were great friendly and helpful. Portions was massive for main meals. We all couldn't finish. Only downside was the dessert that was served with cream that was off. The cheese cake looked good too. Hence the mid score.

Great wee pub took a bus load of 44 passengers unannounced and the staff were great nothing was a hassle so if your looking for a venue for a wee day trip that's the place to be

Dropped in here for a few pints. I was amazed how big it was. I had never been here before and was taken with the character and atmosphere of the place. I will return next time I'm in the area. Ps, a good pint too 🍻🍻🍻

Without customer service, we asked for a table for the whole family, then we waited for fifteen minutes and no one showed up to throw away our order. They certainly didn't pay attention to us because we weren't Scottish and also because we didn't speak fluent English. I do not recommend this place

This was always a must visit when visiting Ayr and great prices. The food when we have been able to have it was great, the steak pie is phenomenal. However, even after calling a few days before to confirm, we have arrived to find the kitchen had already closed for the day but at unpredictable times. If the kitchen is open we definitely recommend it, but don't set the plan in stone as you may find yourself looking for somewhere else at short notice.

First time here, place of meeting with workmates. Had 2 drinks, looked really nice and clean. Karaoke was just about to start, we had to move tables as he wanted to put his gear on table and chairs. Would be better if there was mini stage or dj desk for him rather than taking seating away from paying customers.

It's a bar now, not a pub. One bitter. One cider. If you want an American-esque place for food and drink this would be good. It's not what I wanted at all. Staff was nice but it sure smelled smokey after a rehab. If I lived here I can't imagine that I would return.
