The Coo Shed in South Ayrshire

Enjoyed our visit,staff so friendly ,food excellent,clean and very tidy,reasonably priced meals,will go again,enjoyed our visit to garden centre and dining area.

I was taken here by my daughter and her family and we all had a lovely day (despite the weather not being so great). The restaurant staff were very friendly, helpful and observed all Covid-19 rules, as did all the staff. Outside the 2mt distancing was observed. Only one group at a time was allowed in and after login in and hand sanitising were led directly to our table where the restrictions regarding mask wearing, leaving the table and using the toilets were clearly explained. The service was fairly quick, and the meals were perfectly cooked, delicious and plentiful. There were no complaints from anyone, including an 11 year old fussy eater and a 4 year old. Lovely desserts were available too.The nursery was lovely and the plants were well looked after. My grandchildren loved the milk shakes too. Overall a lovely visit, and I enjoyed the rural location too.

Daughter just visited here today and brought me back the banana milk, delicious! She travelled 90minutes to get there and had to wait an hour for her flavoured milk, worth it tho

Fresh milk on tap, great cakes and lovely machine coffee. Lovely service too, as always. Nice to see that they are offering something in this blessed lockdown.

Quick lunch- very nice Bought tarts from vending machine- very sweet caramel tarts- but nice Car parking area is blooming disgraceful, pot holes are getting worse and it’s becoming very hazardous to drive in and out. Needs to be fixed soon.

Chose to sit in the polytunnel outside area as the cafe was very busy. Genius idea to open this up for overflow seating area. Far preferred that to the inside at the moment. Great service. I just had coffee and traybake, my friend had breakfast which looked very nice. The Coo shed is set in lovely surroundings on a working farm. Well worth a visit.

Had a lovely lunch here on 14 October 2020. Great food and very tasty milkshake. Well worth a visit. Great for couples and families.

We were seated in outdoor eating area as coffee shop full . Safe social distancing and great service. It was really busy for a Tuesday afternoon and we were lucky to get a table. Macaroni delicious and my husband enjoyed his chicken and Cajun mayo wrap . Also had some Turkish delight rocky road cake from vending machine it’s delicious . Fantastic wee place . Had a look at the plants before leaving.

A wee evening buffet from Coo Shed :)It was a pleasant surprise when I found out they can cater for us GF folks. To say the cajun chicken mayo sandwich is to die for would be an absolute understatement, I have been craving it ever since! Just the perfect combo of Cajun spice, mayo and chicken - not too strong and not too heavy. I was spoilt with the chocolate cake too, simply delicious!I have tried lots of different places for GF food and this place is certainly not to be missed. Will be visiting with my hubby soon.

Lovely soup, sandwiches, scone, tea and coffee. Delicious, great value and served by friendly staff. They also sell fresh milk (from the coos) baking, tablet, strawberry tarts, even plants an planters.

The staff are friendly and welcoming. Great use of a barn and great use of equipment to novel to seeing it used differently. Great food and great prices.

Great lunch in lovely surroundings. Tasty food served by friendly staff. Wraps paninis scnes particularly good.

50% of seating taken away in restaurant but extra seating in Polly tunnel, good clear system to give contact details and hand cleaning. Food, service great and value for money - well done.

Visited the The Coo Shed, really disappointed so see “No Dogs” sign up when we arrived (no mention on FB or website that dogs not permitted) and despite a dog greeting us in the car park a gentleman shouted “sorry no dogs”. We then tried to go in to buy something to take away only to be told “no sit in only!” Not dog friendly and very poor service!

Went to collect some fresh milk at the self service machine, it's a very good idea and they now have an egg vending machine, cake vending machine and a fruit and veg vending machine. It was very well organised like a drive thru, as we had to wait a while as the que was quite long but it saves you going to the shops and coming into contact with people.Somethings are overpriced compared to other nearby farm shops, but it is very handy.

I have been to a number of hotels and restaurants in recent years here in South Ayrshire, we normally only eat out on special occasions.It was recommended that we try the Coo Shed just off the major A77 trunk road, and we certainly weren't disappointed.I preferred this farmhouse style restaurant compared to any restaurant I have tried in years it was that good, well done!Only a couple of minuets off the busy A77, there was ample parking space, but I noticed only one particular disabled space, more than one is required here in my opinion.We arrived just outside the traditional lunch period of 12pm – 2pm, and had to wait a few minuets to be seated it was that busy, but well worth the wait, service was good, food excellent, and prices reasonable.My only criticism would be the lack of choice with the starters on their menu, I don't like mushroom soup which sort of made the choice a little limited in my opinion.To drink I enjoyed a glass of fresh farm milk, and there was even milk to go in their novel 'milkhoose' which has extended opening hours 7am until 7pm open seven days. Plus an honesty box for bottle payments, how good is that.As well as a traditional on site garden nursery, there was also a small shop, I purchase a very nice fruit loaf at £3.50, a bit pricey for this I thought, but quality was excellent to help make up for cost.Overall, I would judge the food at 9.5 out of ten, well done!We shall definitely return.

As always, lovely lunch at this very busy and popular local farm restaurant. Bacon , brie and cranberry wrap for me - ok, but my wife loved her ham and cheese panino. Icing on cake - pun intended - was the banoffee pie to finish. Yep. Highly recommend. Support local busineses.

Food was lovely and staff were all so nice. A busy lunchtime but the staff had all the time for you and nothing was a problem. Needless to say we left with a delicious big fresh cream meringue for afternoon tea.

Worth visiting at any time for snack,lunch or afternoon tea.All foods seem home made .Delicious home baking.

This is a lovely place to visit for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee. It is easy to find just off the A77 a few miles from Ayr center.Its decor is quirky . The menu is great with a good choice of homemade food with locally sourced ingredients.The staff are friendly and the food great quality. If you like cake you will love all the home baked products. You can get your fresh milk here at the milk barn on tap , none fresher.There is a small gift shop and a plant nursery. A nice place to pop down to or if your passing. Well worth a visit.

Excellent quality delicious food, beautifully presented, friendly attentive staff. This lovely eaterie is on a dairy farm with a small garden centre attached. The decor is 'Coo' based and although large has a really cosy feel. Excellent for coffee and cake or lunch. The lentil soup is the best in Scotland. Awesome sco es and cakes, and excellent coffee. Reasonably priced. A real 'go to'. Infallible quality.

Always busy but it’s worth the wait, very pleasant staff and the food is excellent, home baking to die for. You can even get fresh milk from the farm in a shed behind the cafe.

2nd visit. Will defo be the 2nd of many. I work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday and seldom take a day off through the week , so I really appreciate finding places like this where the standard of customer service and product are fantastic. My partner and I arrived about 11.30. There were a few folk waiting before us but we were immediately approached by a smiling friendly member of staff who advised us and others waiting that we shouldn't have to wait long. We were provided with menus. Watching the staff you could see they were all busy and they obviously have their service down to a fine art. We were seated within a few minutes. We had our orders taken by a pleasant young girl. Had a bit of a laugh when ordering my latte as I asked if they had any flavoured syrups and I misheard as I thought she said 'Cajun' when she said 'Hazlenut' wonder how that would have tasted . We had the chicken & rice soup followed by the chilli nachos for my partner and french toast with bacon and maple syrup. OMG TASTE SENSATION !!! ❤❤❤ The french toast with bacon and maple syrup was simply awesome. I tried a couple of the other halfs chilli nachos and yeah, perfection. The chicken and rice soup was hearty good homemade with loads of chicken. We bought a bit of cheesecake and a banana fudge scone for later (gorgeous). The staff were hardworking and friendly and what was sooo nice was that they really seem to care that you are enjoying your meal/snack/experience. Was more than happy to leave a tip and thanks to all the staff. It was an absolute treat. A+++++ 11/10

I knew we might have to queue for a table for six on a Sunday but it was worth the short wait. Staff regularly checked who was waiting and gave us menus. Once seated our order was taken and quickly arrived. It was delicious.Service was excellent and the food was hot and tasty . We chose a range from the menu; toasties, wraps, macaroni & chips and french toast & bacon. We all enjoyed our lunch, followed by coffee. Well done The Coo Shed.

Decided to try The Coo Shed for lunch, car park was quite busy so wasn’t too hopeful in getting a table, on entering restaurant there was a small queue, however everyone got tables very quickly, meal was lovely, Mushroom Soup was delicious, the chicken wrap was equally delicious, the staff were first class, very attentive, very pleasant and keeping an eye on the customers at all times, I can’t wait to visit again, what a wonderful place.

t is well hidden, but really worth the adventure! The staff were welcoming and friendly the service was a bit slow, only because they were full the staff however were still available to help anyone who attracted there attention. We had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes for a table and as we waited the staff still acknowledged that we were there and they would get us a table as soon as they could (a nice touch) The food was really good and when we were asked if it was OK it was not just after we had taken our next mouthful of food so In did not have to grunt and nod my head.

Visited here today, only our second visit to the tearoom, although we had to wait a while to be seated, then waited ages for our order to be taken but when we finally got served, it didnt take long to receive our food. We tried the salt and pepper chicken which was delicous.There was also a xmas market on with plenty of stalls and we love the milk vending machines!Highly recommend a visit!

Food is delicious and lovely welcoming atmosphere .The staff are very attentive and friendly .We were spoilt for choice as so many lovely meals to choose from and very reasonably priced .Would definitely recommend

Went for lunch on Thursday. What a concept. We had to wait for a table it was so busy very friendly staff and very efficient. Would loved to have tried one of the fantastic looking desserts but had no room

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food and service were of the highest order. I love supporting local businesses when possible, will definitely be visiting again.

This is a very pleasant place for a light lunch. It has an interesting ambience and very friendly staff. The menu has sufficient variety at reasonable prices and the food is well prepared and served. There is a large car park and, for most of the year, garden plants are available at the adjoining garden centre.We shall certainly return when we are in the area.

Visited today for lunch, my first visit, but my son had been before and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very busy being a Saturday lunchtime but the staff were so friendly and helpful. We each had something different to eat but all of our choices were delicious, hot and tasty, couldn’t fault anything. On the way back to the car we bought a bottle of milk each from the vending machine. To be honest we bought the milk probably mainly for the novelty, however having tasted it back home you can tell it is fresh from the farm, we only wish we lived closer. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it.

Went for lunch with my daughter and grandson - busy place but had a lovely lunch. We also bought a bottle and bought some fresh milk

Homemade tomato soup brie bacon n cranberry panini all tasty and worth the teip just to get the fresh coo shed milk

We loved the coo shed after finding it through trip advisor. There was a 10 minute queue on arrival (to me means it’s good ) all the staff were friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere! Food and drinks were delicious. Really sorry checking out if your in the area.

Visited with my son for breakfast. Very good cooked Scottish breakfast with coffee, my son had toast on sausage. Staff very helpful and friendly

We try and go every Saturday morning , we really can't find any complaints...service - fast. Food -arrives pretty quick same with drinks after that you go outside and buy a plant for the Garden its a win win..

Visit here regularly and never had anything apart from perfection . The food is hearty home made food that is always faultless . The home baking is to die for and if you have not tried the lemon meringue pie you have not lived . Service is always excellent and everyone is so pleasant no matter how busy they are .

This is a great place, slightly off the beaten track. It was my first visit and everything about it was great. The macaroni cheese, lasagne and scamp that we ordered were great. We also got some of their delicious cakes to takeaway. Well worth and visit and we'll definitely be back.

Went for Lunch with my daughter, we were seated straight away, I ordered Macaroni with chips and salad my daughter had the special some sort of panini or wrap with chips. We were both very hungry. Service was very quick, Macaroni had obviously been blasted through the microwave as it was hot round the edges and only slightly warm in the middle chips were not very warm and had obviously been sitting a while, my daughters chips were the same it was very disappointing.

We had heard of the Coo Shed in the summer and visited today... tea and cake... large portions of scrumptious cake and excellent tea... all for a very reason cost. We will be returning!

This is a bustling eatery, off the beaten track, with a country charm to it.After a friendly welcome I chose the hearty breakfast from the menu, but without eggs and mushrooms/ There was no offer to replace these items with anything else, and the plate that arrived looked a little sparse as a result. The food was tasty enough, and the coffee was good, if not a little expensive (£3 for an Americano?!).The schoolboy humour in me appreciated the Bulls and Cows signs on the toilet doors

Genuinly gutted as going by previous trip advisor reviews and recomendations on social media, I was so excited to be visiting the coo shed. Drove all the way from Glasgow to simply get a coffee and cake and enjoy the cow/farm decor. Got seated straight away and ordered 2 coffees and 2 cakes. A couple sat down next to us and within a couple of minutes they recieved their order. We then noticed more tables then recieving their food and drink orders and we were still waiting. Plenty staff walking about and no one seemed to notice the lengh of time wed been sitting. Eventually notified a member of staff to cancel our order as wed waited 25 minutes. She was applologetic and said she would check up on the order but at this stage we wouldnt want to be paying for coffee wed waited to long on. Gutted to have left with dissapoitnemt as the place looked like it had so much potetential and was very clean. Wouldve loved to have went back but unfortunately its not the case.

This is genuinely my favourite place to go for both breakfast and lunch! Personally for me which I just order every time I’m there is the baked potatoes. There huge & super filling. Always have a cake to take home and a browse in the shop! The staff are so helpful & the service is always good. It’s always busy but yet no delay

Found this place doing a google search and so glad I did, lovely little place friendly staff, nice & inviting place and lovely decor, went for breakfast and it was filling to say the least, would definitely recommend if in the area for a visit

My husband & I went yesterday for the first time & can not rate highly enough. This a a MUST. The food & the staff are just fantastic. Highly recommended & we will be going back . Julia Dumbreck

Recommended by a nurse at Cross House.You should be very very proud.Our visit was a delight.The food was good,the gift shed small but perfectly formed,but the highlight? the Milk House,such fun and the quality of the milk is astounding.Well done to everyone especially the cows.You made our day a smiley one.By the the way our visits will be limited, we live 50 miles away.But we will not be detered!!!

My friend and I travelled to Crosshouse for a hospital appointment and the staff there highly recommended the Coo Shed for lunch. We were not disappointed, the staff, food and ambience were all excellent. The food was piping hot and very generous servings. The Coo milk bought at the milk shed was delicious and creamy . All in all, a great wee visit and we will certainly be back . Highly recommended

The staff are great and very hard working. The coffee and cakes are pretty good. The downside for me is the noise inside the building. There is nothing to absorb noise and it echoes everywhere. People speak louder to their friends to be heard, and so on, and so on, until the whole place is a loud rabble. It is very popular and there are frequently queues of people waiting to get in for lunchtime.

Called in for a quick lunch on our way home from Ayr. Not sure if the Coo Shed was still open since the roadside sign was no longer there, thankfully it was. Very busy at lunchtime with a queue for tables inside, but we were happy to sit outdoors so got served much quicker. Varied choice of delicious food available, served by friendly staff. A gem of a place tucked away off road, but worth finding. The decor inside is amazing!

Excellent food and service my son and family love this place good that its easy to get to will defo b bk

Went with a couple of friends for lunch - really tasty soup and sandwiches, and the cake display - Oh wow. And they tasted as good as they looked. Serivce great too.

Wee lunch at this place for the first time herd( get it) lots about it and wasn’t disappointed. Nae coo Pie but had Cajun chicken wrap which was excellent and the service was great. I have to say that the waitresses were very pleasant as well. Food prices reasonable for this type of establishment and I will be back once I get a moooove on.

Was our first visit but won't be our last = had a lovely lunch and then we bought a couple of cakes to take home with us = an other great thing about it was you could buy fresh milk in litre bottles you have to buy the bottle but wash it and refill next time you go = you can tell the difference from shop bought milk, also a small section that sell plants.

I have not been here for a wee while, but was down this way and popped in for lunch. Fabulous, it was as tasty as every, ate every bit of it. This place cant do any wrong. If you have not been, definitely go, you wont be disappointed. Great food, staff and location, especially on a warm day.

We visited this establishment at the weekend, where we had good food! This was our second visit and will be our last. The management require to take these reviews on board seriously as it could be detrimental to their business!On arrival we had to stand with a group of people all squashed up in the doorway,nearly on top of a couple having a meal with their baby in a pram...we were literally blocking the exit for anyone leaving. It was awful with no organisation from any of the staff, they went about oblivious and not even taking the time to try and explain. We were eventually seated, and our order was taken by the more mature lady who was the only one pleasant ....the other staff were rude and didn't have any manners whatsoever....we had to approach them to clear our table then wait for a considerable time for our next order to be taken by a frosty young woman who had a face like sour cream. Again this order was not as we had ordered,causing more delay. I can appreciate at times due to being busy these things can occur butthis was not the case!....The management need to send their staff on a welcome host course to train them to the standard of care towards customers, due to this unpleasant visit we will not be recommending as unfortunately we will be avoiding returning again in the future which is sad ( such a lovely setting) very unhappy customer indeed.

Went a wee bike ride from our village (Dalrymple) with my son to work up an appitite for lunch. 6km later we pitched our bikes in the bike shed and went in. It was busy but we got a table within a minute, greeted by a cheery smile by the waitress. All i can say is the Coronation Chiken with the Baked Potato i had is the best i have ever tasted, great portion size as well along with a lovely salad (Coleslaw was to die for as well). Finished off with my traditional glass of "coo shed milk". Facilities: Top notchStaff: Friendly and efficientFood: Couldn't recommend enoughMe snd son: Cycled home and knackered but thoroughly satisfied. Great family afternoon. Cheers Coo Shed already looking forward to next visit

Situated a little outside Ayr so you need a car to visit. Great, fresh food with much of it sourced locally. I would give it 5 stars but it doesn’t take reservations and you usually have to wait for a table, so unable to take elderly people who can’t stand for any length of time. Would recommend.

Food was nice....but the staff really let the visit down. When we arrived there was about 10 people awkwardly standing at the door waiting to be seated...staff were wandering around making no effort to acknowledge customers...we were left standing until a table became available. The staff were rude, detached and very disorganised. Total lack of management. Will not be back.

What a find. The food was great, the Staff very friendly and altogether a likeable experience.Will definitely return

I always love my visits here. Quirky design, amazing food, particularly the cakes. Usually always have great service, only one star down because find one staff member a little abrupt on a couple of occasions I've been there. Real asset to ayr overall however!

visited the coo shed recently was not disappointed the food was delicious and reasonably priced the soup was great staff were all friendly surroundings were lovely and a good atmosphere will certainly be back

Not sure why you have any bad reviews we popped in on a busy Saturday the staff were straight over seating us all we wanted was coffee and cake you were even able to accommodate my lactose free wife with a fabulous looking chocolate cake would definitely recommend here for your plants and flowers and delicious cakes and coffee

Made a visit to the Coo Shed this morning on recommendation and had breakfast rolls and pie with family. Great service and food and loved the decor being from a farming background.

We visit the coo shed for lunch usually on a Friday Myself, Daughter and grandson and have to say the food is fantastic and staff are super efficient nothing is a problem to them and although it is always very busy you don’t have to wait long for a table. Prices are very reasonable with a relaxed atmosphere. Really lovely surroundings.

My husband and I have just been to the coo shed to buy plants. Wow just wow. The place is amazing. The staff wete very friendly and helpful and The plants and flowers are very well looked after and in my husband's words are very "vibrant" colours. I would definitely recommend this place. We didn't manage to get into the eating place as it was queued out the door. A very good sign of quality food to me. We will definitely be back to try it out tho as their stuff looks brilliant. Thank you coo she'd. We need a place like this in every area.

A lovely place to get good food 🥘 and lovely lattes there cakes 🍰 are amazing it is also a garden centre

Love coming here for a wee treat, cakes are amazing and so fresh, you can tell a lot of love goes into the food here, all the staff are so friendly, they always make a fuss of my granddaughter.

Waited just under an hour to get in, and then a further 30 mins for food to hit the table. It was well worth it! Food was amazing start to finish. A hidden gem

Went to visit the Coo Shed today. I was very impressed by the Milk Bot, got myself 3 bottles of the brilliant fresh farm milk. Got some of their bakery products & a few things for the garden. We then went into their very busy restaurant area, very nice & helpful staff. Especially Fay that served us. She was absolutely delightful, couldn’t do enough for us or the customers in the surrounding tables. All round brilliant experience. I will most definitely be back, this place is well run & very smart business wise. Well done to the Kerr Family that run this farm

Went here with friends for morning tea. This is the first time I've been here and food we had was delicious. Will definitely return.

We came here for lunch with favourite uncle and his wife. First visit and certainly not the last. Food was excellent. The soup was yummy as also was the prawn salad main course. Extremely generous with the prawns and an excellent salad selection. In fact there was too much but the leftovers were not wasted they were boxed up to take home. After lunch we checked out the small garden centre and wee shop. Katie in the shop was very chatty and friendly. We will certainly be back - the only downside is that we live on the east coast so will need to visit uncle more often !! Nearly forgot the desserts -in the restaurant - fantastic home made puds .

Visited this cafe with a colleague, midweek and queues out the door - fortunately we were served very quickly, though the waitress could at least have cracked a smile! Food order came out wrong at first but was quickly corrected. We had both requested chips with our sandwiches, but at £1.75 for you get, thought a wee bit expensive and the chips tasted only half cooked. Cost of wrap bit pricey, advertised with salad but one wee tiny spoonful of coleslaw, however the wrap itself was delicious

Nice setting hidden away in Ayrshire countryside. Small barn turned into a restaurant with a basic menu if sandwiches, wraps and salads.

First time visit on a Sunday and it was very busy with people waiting for a table to become free. Despite this, the service was efficient. Food was excellent and the decor was in keeping with the location on a farm.Lentil soup was lovely and obviously home made. Toastie was also very good and the selection of cakes was certainly to the liking of my dining companion.A stroll around the small garden centre afterwards just finished the visit nicely.I would recommend for a light bite although there are a few main course dishes on the menu too. I will be back very soon.

My family love the coo shed. Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great staff and brilliant garden and gift shop to wander around afterwards, always something to buy. I also get a lot of outside catering provided by the team which is amazing!! Well worth a visit if you’ve never been!

Great use of a farm building. Good decor, spotless toilets and very friendly staff. The food was good but the coffee very poor, a cappuccino looked like a white coffee with chocolate dusted on and tasted about the same!

Went here for breakfast with family, it was great! I am rather fussy and would saybreakfast isn't usually my favourite meal, on this occasion it was really nice. I had French toast with lovely bacon which I enjoyed and the coffee was great too! Everyone else had a five item cooked breakfast which they also enjoyed, look forward to a return visit!

This cafe is an absolute gem! The food is to die for. I had the tastiest broccoli soup I've ever tasted. The cakes are sublime and it's real honest home cooked food. I would highly recommend eating here.

Was in for breakfast with my mum this morning, it was lovely. Bought a banoffee pie to take home for my husband and he loved it too. Went a wander round the shop and everyone about were really friendly too including the two cats.

First visit for breakfast and it won't be the last! Great room, decor is fabulous, look out for the lighting. Breakfast is absolutely superb, great value, great service, wonderful food! Don't hesitate!! But please save some for me :-)

Popped in for breakfast on the way home to Glasgow . By the looks of things we made it just in time for the rush !(11am) Service was a bit slow but friendly never the less . Had a great breakfast and also bought some fresh farm milk which was awesome would definitely return .

Visited with my mum and sister. We had a lovely lunch. One of our party is gluten free and they were very helpful and accommodating.

Lattes, hot chocolates and bacon and maple syrup french toast was delicious. Have been before and will be back soon. Highly recommended.

It didn’t disappoint, although very busy the staff are well organised and efficient/friendly. Hot chocolate and coffee were very good plus an excellent French toast. Will be back soon

Ate a tasty lunch here with my daughter. Served swiftly and efficiently. As the place is always so busy it didn't feel like a relaxing meal and felt we couldn't linger over our meal. None the less I would certainly return as the food is delicious.

I would recommend to any more Good food Good children’s Any one try it out I went with my friend today and it From Patricia Welsh

Went here for coffee and cake. Lovely spot and great cafe building. Excellent service with an interesting menu. Loved the video of the cows!

Myself and my girlfriend took a trip to The Coo Shed today at lunch time. The cafe was pretty straight forward to find with plenty of parking. We headed into the nice cafe and got seated quickly by a friendly waitress who took our order very quickly. We both went for a soup and a sandwich which was brilliant. The real star of the show was the cakes. We opted to take a slice of chocolate cake and banoffee pie home. Both were so delicious. Before we left we had to head to the milkbot and get a litre of fresh milk. Again this was sampled at home and was easily the best milk we’ve ever tasted. A brilliant place for lunch and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We went here for lunch as we’ve heard good reviews about it. The food was good as far as lunch goes. The cakes were also good and had a good selection. The place is quite quirky and usually very busy but you don’t have to wait long to get a table. Worth a visit for lunch.

Just what the name says, a converted shed on a farm. Once inside, its a complete transformation. A good old fashioned tea/coffee house. Great service,food,price. Will be back on a regular basis.

Excellent service lovely food Great for children easily accessible for disabled Overall experience excellent

I wanted to like Coo Shed but appalling decisions by the person responsible for furnishing the place made that impossible. Solid wood floors, stone/brick walls, solid wood ceiling. Hard wood tables and chairs. Even the incidental items are chosen to make the noise problems worse - milk churns and ploughs to maximise bright sound reflection. It could be different so easily. Wool carpets. Embroideries on the walls.As it is I was in physical pain.Oh, and to ensure that the environment was possible they were playing music. No tune or lyrics could be heard of course - just noise. What a waste from poor planning.

Popped in for a cuppa, but had a lovely lunch. We both had French toast and bacon accompanied by maple syrup. Bot only was it delicious there was copious amount of it. Service was good and the atmosphere was friendly. Obviously it is a well liked eatery with a large fan base.

Great location for a stop off on our way from Edinburgh to Newton Stewart which we do regularly. Interesting, comfortable and quirky setting, wonderful staff and proper homecooked, tasty food. The milkbot is a bonus too. Make sure you save room for the delicious and often inventive cake, I just can't resist it. The staff go out of their way to be helpful and attentive which is rare these days unfortunately and one of the reasons we stop off here instead of the many places nearby. Genuinely child friendly which I very much appreciate as I have 7yr,5yr and 6 month old sons. This is my new favourite lunch place, a wonderful find!

Welcomed by a smiling cheery staff and shown to our table. Left with out menu to take time to think about our order.Our surrounds were quirky and interesting. Lots of talking points and a video showing the workings of the farm. Simple menu that delivered simple easy to order breakfast with cakes to follow. teas coffees and milk shakes We had choice of the 5 item breakfast and were filled for the rest of the day. Toilets were spotless

Just off the A77 opposite the Alloway junction, the Coo Shed is part of a working dairy farm. The signpost leads to a carpark. The diversification includes a small garden centre, a gift shop and self service milk unit.The cafe is well furnished and light and airy. The staff are very friendly and smiling.The menu caters for all with a good selection of savoury dishes and some delicious cake inventions. As you would expect on a dairy farm plenty of cream on the cakes.Convenient for a stop on a bit of the road for a break.

Very nice cafe, also very busy on my visit, which is a common thing for them I hear.I think I know why! Excellent food!Starting off with the joirney there. I didn't see a sign on the A77, but I had a rough idea where I was heading. Then the road off the A77 & up to the cafe is signed tho, but that is only a single track, with passing places, so please take care.Pleanty car park spaces with a fresh milk vending room next to it. The cafe itself was very, very nice. Clean and modern. Seated quickly by friendly staff, who advised us of the specials and what soups had just run out... Then our order was also taken pretty soon after we had went over the menu.We has a couple of Turkey dinners, couple of Scones and a coffee for under twenty five quid!! Meals got a 10/10 btw...All the staff were very pleasent and they all wanted to make sure all was fine with the service.Deffo not be my last trip to The Coo Shed!!

We have used the Coo Shed to meet family for lunch and have never left disappointed. Each time we have visited, we have had a short wait for a table which does reflect the popularity of the establishment. The menu is very basic but caters to a range of tastes and needs. Each time we have visited the food has always been well prepared and presented and have been happy with what we’ve received. The staff have always been attentive, helpful and pleasant. I would recommend the Coo Shed for people wanting a relaxed breakfast / light lunch that is reasonably priced and very tasty. The reason for 4/5 stars is that on each occasion we have visited the restaurant has been busy and the tables are extremely tightly packed and the ease of movement around the restaurant is not easy, especially when you have a baby with a car seat or pram as we have had during our visits. I understand from a business point of view that an establishment wants as many ‘bums on seats’ as possible but the ease of movement really does take the shine off an otherwise faultless three visits.

First time vissiting. Was quiet when we arrived but soon filled up. Good menu for a tea room type place. Food was lovely. The coronation chicken toastie was amazing. Worth a visit.
