The Buf Prestwick in South Ayrshire

Absolutely brilliant service and staff! Stevie was very friendly and a great bar tender :) will definitely be back

a nice pub with an industrial type of decor, good prices and friendly staff.A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon watching the rugby, a nice bonus of a free half time pie, and very tasty it was too. Next time I'm in Prestwick I will be sure to visit the Buf.

Mi sa che il locale si sveglia soprattutto di sera, però per un buon pranzo al volo (hamburger e dolce) non mi è parso male. Cameriere carine e veloci, schermo tv ad ogni tavolo con improbabile replica di una partita di rugby e atmosfera frizzante nonostante non ci fosse troppa gente. Cibo e prezzi nella media scozzese.

My friend and I came in for a late lunch during a day out in Prestwick. We both decided the £5 main courses sounded ideal. We both had Cajun chicken crepes which were served with fries. We both enjoyed our meal, which was extremely tasty and had a bit of a kick. Being so impressed with the quality of food we decided to have a sweet. Again we picked the same dish Caramel apple granny. As before the dish was very tasty. Our bill came to a very reasonable £22 for 2 courses and a glass of wine each. What a bargain.Staff friendly, polite and helpful (after my friend spilled her dinner on her top, giving her a damp cloth!).Can’t wait to go back!

Upon walking in the decor is rustic and cosy. There were plenty of booths (with individual TV's!) to chose from as well as regular seating (tables and chairs nearer the bar area). Decent amount of lighting, a lot of wooden surfaces and lots of open space makes it nice whether hot or cool outside. The staff were really attentive and eager to help. Three of the staff tried to take our order before we had a chance to even look at anything. A tiny bit annoying, but better overly attentive and not attentive enough! Pretty much everything on the menu was £5! So cheap. I didn't get my hopes up about quality or portion sizes. My partner and I ordered two (lets call them) tapas at £5 and one side of £2. So £12 all in. We didn't finish and struggled to eat as much as we did. The food could have come out a little faster as it wasn't particularly busy, but far from the longest we've had to wait for food. Here is the downside...the drinks are a bit pricey in The BUF. A bottle of Prosecco is more than most other low to mid-range restaurants charge by about 20-25% (About £4 more expensive). If you're going for lunch and your just having one drink...you will pretty much end up spending the same amount as you would in another restaurant, but the food would be more like mainstream meals. I would go to The BUF again, but only for the food with a soft drink. I am still giving it five stars though as, I cannot fault much else with The BUF nor the staff. Special thanks to the staff for being so attentive.

Was here with a group of around 20 people, we had a meal and drinks which unfortunately was interupted by torrential rain outside coming down the inside wall and onto one side of our table. The staff were so helpful, moved us to dry tables straight away while they did what they could to clear up the water. After the rain let up we were able to go back to the group table and we were offered a discount on the overall bill. The food was lovely, the staff were great and with no time limit, kareoke and dancing the whole crowd stayed here all night. Great night as always.

Popped in for a bar lunch and a couple of drinks, friendly staff and an absolutely massive beer garden. Two mains and two pints was £15. The food was very good. Tennents Lager £2.50 a pint

Visited here for a few beers on a Sunny Thursday night at the end of June. Sun terrace was busy but we still got a seat OK. Pints of perfect ice cold draught Tennent’s for £2.50, sun in your face and no numpty’s to be seen. Best beer garden in Prestwick.

We decided to pop in for lunch today as we do at least once a week,we popped through to eat in the beer garden,but it was very busy,so decided to sit inside at a booth.There were no menus on the tables,so we waited a good 10 minutes for someone to bring them,when this didnt haooen,i went to the bar where a group of staff were arguing amongst themselves regarding seating arrangements in the beer garden,and one was heard to say "they can't start moving all the tables about,they stay where they are"............"they" obviously being their customers in the beer garden.I asked the waitress for some menus,to which i was told "nope sorry,no food being served cos we have a big group of 30 in the beer garden".So,i then asked so because you have a large group sitting outside drinking,people in your bar area(which was dead) cannot get lunch and she just shrugged her shoulders.We then left to go elsewhere,but find that this treatment of customers (regular or not) is a joke,Don't have a beer garden open if you cannot cope with a lot of people using it ,resulting in a detrimental effect on your other customers,and i hope that tomorrow when the rain is due and the beer garden empty,they have a better attitude to people wanting lunch inside!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Buf has recently launched a Curry Wednesday evening... buy an alcoholic drink and get a curry in a bowl. One pint of 7 Peaks IPA and I got a good-sized bowl of rice and a chicken curry on top which had large chunks of chicken and a really tasty sauce. Could not fault it, even better value than you’d expect. Coupled with with great interaction with the team on behind the bar and excellent service... well, why wouldn’t you? Hurry along.

Regular in here and can’t fault it in anyway. Great prices, foods great, even better is that the staff are all extremely helpful and go above and beyond. Absolutely excellent!

Great pub , £5 meal deal and huge beer garden . Would absolutely recommend especially on a sunny day.

Been to this pub on a few occasions when staying in prestwick would highly recommend staff very friendly and food is fab

Try the new menu, it’s in the window. We enjoyed lunch steak pie and gammon steak. Staff were very helpful but it wasn’t busy. There was no football on!

Went in for a lunch on Tuesday after seeing the advert on Facebook for a main and a pint for £10. Chalk board outside detailed the " fresh menu ". As soon as we went in a very polite waitress told us the kitchen was closed and recommended two other places very nearby. Thoroughly disappointed and think the website and boards outside should be updated to advise this.

I was at The Buf last night catching up with friends and Grant behind the bar couldn't have been more friendly and provided excellent service.

Always enjoyed a drink and sometimes a meal here. My Mrs and I quite enjoyed it. Thought we would pop in for a snack and a drink on Saturday afternoon.

Decided to eat here on Friday night after hearing about the chef, who previously worked at a place in Ayr, had moved here. Was not disappointed. Food was excellent, as good as I remember. We chose cajun crepes, enchiladas, burger and tempura and all were fab. Great value too.

Had an enjoyable lunch here on Saturday. Place wasn't busy but the food and value was good.

Went in tonight with wife . Wife had chicken tempura which was cooked to perfection with 2 dips and myself, prawn cocktail with bread and butter which was lovely. Both had sirloin steaks also beautiful, plus the onion rings were nice and dry , not soggy like most places , then chocolate fudge cake and ice cream , all irresistible! Tenants pint only 2.50 . Best part was the bill which was very reasonable for what we had . Keep up the good work - the buf !!

Called in for a drink, place has been renovated and is really nice, only problem was there are televisions every where, 5 booths s all with televisions, plus to wide screens on the walls, through at the bar more tv`s all turned on full blast to a football match . A dozen or more football followers roaring at the screens, unbelievable, service was good and selection of good beer, never ate but food looked good. suppose this is what you would call a "sports bar". might try again when there is no football on

Stopped off for lunch on Monday and enjoyed their 2 for 1 offer on mains. Great deal. Macaroni cheese was excellent as was the burger and chips. Being a Monday it was very quiet so we sat outside in the beer garden area and staff looked after us well. We often visit here for drinks in the summer and sit outside. Has a good buzz about it. Inside during the winter it can be a squeeze if it’s busy but all in it’s a good bar and now discovered it does tasty food too. Would definitely recommend.

Cajun chicken crepes were amazing and on the buy one get one free on main courses deal! chicken tempura for starters, very good portion.

Went for lunch with a friend, we were the only customers in the restaurant which wasn't an issue. My friend decided that she would like a chicken tempura starter and some garlic bread and I settled on the creamy cajun crepes.

Great good and good atmosphere on a Saturday night . Prices are mid range. The staff are friendly.They have a brilliant beer garden

The Wick is now the Buf, and the makeover is pretty cool, with booths at the front, the bar in the muddle,and a made over beer garden at the back.

Looks can deceive, this place gives the impression of being pretty small but step inside and it goes on, and on, and on.
