After a few years of not going here after a bad experience, my Fiance, mother in law gave them another opportunity yesterday and went for lunch for my Fiancé's birthday. What a great experience! The food was excellent! Service was second to none! Great atmosphere too. The staff were very attentive. So glad we gave them a second chance. We will certainly be back

We come quite often to the Carrick as a group of 4, as my friends husband has dementia it is a calmer and more cosier place for him to settle and not too noisy.We were served by Shelley who as always is very courteous and efficient,we shall continue to come to the Carrick, it's a nice day out for us oldies.

This place is very basic. It's disorganised. Staff very unhelpful. Disabled toilet out of action, so elderly people really struggling to climb dozens of stairs to use the toilet. Loads of dirty plates, glasses etc lying around. The food was OK, no real issues with that. Looks like it needs new management.

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.

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.

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

We love to pop into the Lamlash Bay hotel for dinner! The whole team is always so accommodating, it's never any issue booking a table for when we want and the new kids menu is a winner! The make your own pizza option always wins with our little one (and us adults too) and when we visited last week our lovely waitress who's name I've yet to catch (blonde) caught onto my little ones name and was calling her by name for the rest of the night. We love the chef's specials menu and it's always so evident that the menu really focuses on keeping dishes as local as possible. The Arran Gold and Raspberry Crème Brûlée is amazing!
