Loved the Black Bull. Found it on TripAdvisor as wanted a great lunch on our way home from a weekend in Stathaven. It was worth the slight detour. Each dish was presented with care and attention to detail mixing beautiful tastes and textures. Would highly recommend it. PS the service was superb too!

My better half and I visited the Black Bull for a Valentine's meal, it's a few years since our last visit but the standard of the food was still as excellent as we remembered, potato cheese and bacon terrine, Guinea fowl, haggis risotto, creme brulee to name but a few items on the menu, all served up by happy smiley staff.We definitely won't leave it so long till our next visit.

I had to return after my visit whilst with friends in December. Again it was fantastic with the service on point. The server (Amy) was so informative and bubbly who really went over and above to make our visit very enjoyable. The food AGAIN was to die for with large portions all round. The King Prawn linguine was amazing. I have told all my friends in Fife about this place. I cannot wait to return!!! Well done guys

My mum paid for me to stay the night when visiting her and my sister as I am heavily pregnant and they didn’t want to do two long journeys in one day.Arrived at the hotel and the window in my room was broken and wouldn’t shut properly. I spoke to a lady in reception who told me she would get someone to look at it whilst I was out. It was unable to be fixed and I could not move rooms as the hotel was fully booked. The woman I spoke to was polite but could offer no solution apart from napkins to try and block the gap.The napkins worked ish for draft but they did not block noise. Room is directly above the bar and smoking area, they had a singer on until midnight and a disco until 0145 and then people screaming, arguing and shouting as they were leaving. If I’d been able to close my window properly it would have blocked some of the noise out.I sobbed most of the night and then the entire drive home the next day because I was so exhausted. Drove home with the windows down to keep myself awake. Horrendous.The single positive of the stay was the food in the restaurant which was lovely but the lack of sleep has entirely dictated this review as sleep was the main reason for booking.

Visited today with friends from Ayr and we were delighted at the quality of food. It was entirely unexpected for a visit to a small village like Tarbolton. We chatted with the server who was very informative and very pleasant. The male waiter informed us that the chefs name was Alex and had just returned to the restaurant after a few years out. If this is the high quality of food he produces we will definitely be back. 5 stars

We came as a group of 16, for which we were well accommodated and welcomed. The service was great, we preordered our food even tho it wasn’t required and it all came out correct and hot. The quality of the food and standard of cooking was exceptional for the price. The new owners have only just taken over are off to a good start. Defiantly a restaurant to travel to when in the area.

Food amazing, took point off as when we got the bill there was a shocking £4 ON IT FOR A SODA WATER!!!! hubby asked for an egg with his gammon steak and charged £1 for an egg! £2.50 for a vodka and £2.50 for a can of ginger beer. When questioned about carbonated water they took £1 off, making it £3 for carbonated water. This completely put us off going back and that's a massive shame because the food was outstanding! and this let them down badly.

Very relaxed atmosphere in nice surroundings and the food is just lovely - the kids fish & chips (big portion - lovely fresh fish) - and the fillet steak (again great quality and portion) - were stand-out favourites. We're so used to being served frozen chips and watery pepper sauce in even the nicest places in town it was a revelation to see that someone was actually doing it like we would at home! We have been meaning to try here for years and always seem to take the easy option of going into Ayr when we really can't be bothered to cook, but will definitely be making more return visits here now we've tried it

Booked lunch here for the family at my Father in Law's request & to be honest I had heard fabulous things about it, due to the fact that there were 14 of us in the party we were given the reduced menu, to be fair I was told this when I booked the table, we were seated in the Kailyard at the side of the pub, it was very well decorated, light, fresh & airy, our tables were laid out in a large square which unfortunately meant that if you wanted to converse with the people on the other 3 sides of the table you had to shout. The menu offered very little in the way of choice but the portion sizes were plentiful, the lentil & bacon soup was lovely & the huge bowl of spaghetti carbonara was tasty but I felt that the Raspberry & White Chocolate Cheesecake was a little bland. The service was polite if not friendly & extremely efficient, my poor father in law took ill & had to go home shortly after receiving his main course & the waiter very kindly gave him it in a box to take home. I would like to go back & try the full menu at some time

We called on the off chance they could fit us in at short notice.. we turned up early and had was given a warm welcome. The atmosphere was so nice and relaxing the staff couldn't do enough for you. We ordered steaks and all I can say is they were amazing. They were cooked to perfection and they were so full of flavour. We will definitely be returning. Thank you
