Hadn’t been here before so thought we would give it a try and thankful we did, the staff were so friendly and welcoming had a beer garden just at the back which is specious a lovely area to relax and have a drink. FYI our group was a group of five when we ordered our food it arrived almost at the same time hot and delicious, couldn’t fault our experience. Already made reservations for our next visit later in the month 🍷🍔

Friend and I, and our children had popped in here for lunch. Staff at bar were lovely and friendly. The disappointment was that both mums ordered dishes including salad, but we were informed they had run out of lettice, so we asked for more tomato, onion and cucumber- to be told these items were running low! We went up to order the children’s desserts- fruot kebabs, churros and ice cream- again, had run out of things and was told only ice cream and brownie were in stock. Definitely wont be back. Very poor to be running out of ingredients and that many dishes- poor stock management!

Advertising the Euros. Majority of TVs not showing the Euro's. Asked if they could change the channel. First answer was you can change your seat to be near a TV showing the channels. Not the best answer. Next answer was we can't change the channels as they are all set up and cannot be changed. Very hard to believe. Perhaps the majority of the TVs should be set up for what is advertised I won't be back. It didnhelp that there were wild children running around the place. Modern parenting at it's best.

Great place for a late night drink and bite to eat. Always a nice relaxed atmosphere with good music and fantastic service from the staff who are always up for a laugh. Looking forward to attending the open mic nights and will definitely be indulging in the burger deal and a few drinks. We were last at the beginning of the week for a meal and the standard never slips in terms of service from the staff and the quality of the food, great range of food and always something to please everyone at the table

The Carrick location is ideal for me when I go out in Irvine for a drink and food but ordering on the app has caused issues sometimes it's missed and I end up waiting far too long .The food quality went downhill and the cost of mixers for drinks when there's a spoon 5 mins away I would rather walk an extra few minutes to avoid getting charged extra and wait longer.

Very disappointing atmosphere with passive aggressive employees. In addition advertised as a family family then places an age limit of 18 years on the likes of a pool table. No signs or explanation given just a very unfriendly staff member stating the rules. Can greene king or anyone involved explain why the over 18s rule is in place in what is advertised as a family environment? Not a good place to go if visiting as a family, plenty better choices in Irvine center.

Been here a couple times. Foods okay. Went again today just for a meal with my wife & son. Got asked to leave because I had a black hoody with a football badge on it, staff saying “we don’t accept football here” when their website says they show sky sports, TNT sports & football, football was on in the corner, not even the teams I had on. As someone who collects football tops, I wear them on most days. Won’t be returning. Will go elsewhere.

All the female staff in the Carrick are brand new in my opinion can't fault them in any way kitchen staff always take time out of the day to check in see how regulars are. Pub has a great atmosphere the job the girls are doing is great on the decor. Only fault I can pick on is why do the fans need to be on when it not hot or busy

I have issues with cutlery. They make wraps I can hold in my hands. Staff always pleasant. I have amended my review because I have now been on a Sunday for several weeks and had a roast. It is worth the extra effort to use cutlery for me to get a Sunday roast. They have converted me. Cooked carrots (historically) I've always been my least favorite veg and the chef at the Carrick has converted me First rate all round

Food was lovely although I would have liked more gravy with my dinner optional extra to purchase more which if they gave you enough in the 1st place you would have to buy extra ( good money maker 😉) Fish was nice but as you can see in picture peas 🫛 needed the kiss of life Was kinda of dissapointed on Sunday we went in for dinner around 7.30 ish as its normally a bit quieter at this time and there where kids still in after 8 apparently only licensed to have kids in till 8 as this is what weve been told before when we've been turned away with grandkids but we left around 8.30 and the kids were still in ( hope it wasn't a case of there regulars or there known by staff ) as it shouldn't be 1 rule for 1 and 1 for others

To start of the pub is beautiful inside with booths, or tables with comfy chairs or tables with regular chairs. You place your order at the bar and it’s delivered to your table. I had the Belhaven steak & ale pie and chips with broccoli and it was absolutely amazing and the meat melted in my mouth. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it to everyone. I am here on holiday from Canada and wish I had time to go back before I leave. Just a quick update it’s now Sunday May 21 and I just had the opportunity to come back one more time before I leave Wed morning and ordered the exact same meal and it was just amazing as the first time. 10 STARS from me

Great food and staff I recently attended The Carrick with my extended family, some of whom were from Australia. There were 14 of us in total. The staff had reserved a number of tables for us and we all sat together. We placed our orders at the bar and were pleasantly surprised by the prices. Monday - Thursday have discounted prices including 2 for 1 on main courses. Shortly after placing our order a staff member informed us that the chef would have all our orders ready at the same time. We had ordered various dishes including fish and chips, hunters chicken mac and cheese and some others. The fish and chips requires a special mention as the fish is huge and was perfectly cooked. It hung over the plate on both sides and was beautiful in flavour and texture. Everybody in our party enjoyed our meals and the staff were very pleasant and efficient in clearing our tables after our meal. 10/10 and we will definitely be back

Visited on Saturday 24th at 7.45 to order food. Was told kitchen had closed even though app online said open till 9. Was told by barmaid she would talk to manager,we had one drink and left manager never came to discuss this. Very disappointed and could see why there was only 6 people in what could be a great pub and restaurant. Such a waste of a lovely venue

This is lovely room with great views across the water. The young wait staff are very polite and attentive. Unfortunately that's about all we could praise on our visit. Firstly, we were seated by the window but it was very sunny and we were informed the blinds on the window were broken and couldn't be lowered to make it more comfortable for us. Then we were presented with the menu. This was substantially shorter than the menu posted on line and also on display in the entry way to the building. Most of the interesting items had been removed leaving only standard pub grub type offerings. We had chosen this venue because it had an interesting menu. We queried why the menu was different and were told that it was due to "staffing shortages in the kitchen". Given that the menu only contained standard, and in our opinion quite simple, items we would have expected them to be excellent. Our prawn starter was meant to be in tempura batter but it was a much thicker batter than that. Not unpleasant by any means but not what we expected. In the mains one of our party had to send back his fish and chips. The batter was overcooked and quite dark brown, but the fish inside was considered undercooked. When this was remade it was better and at least edible but by no means good. The other choices were okay but not exactly great. The Mac and cheese was quite dry and could have used more cheese sauce. At least the staff took off part of the cost of the bill and offered us a free tea or coffee to make up for our disappointment.
