The Cotton Trail in East Ayrshire

Came here for a quick bite after doing some of the Burns Trail in Mauchline. With the social distancing in place, there's no sit in and the cafe only serve food from the front door. The menu is very much traditional British foods, so you'll not go wrong if that's what you're after. Even though the staff were only serving through the front door, they're still friendly and welcoming.I got myself a Jaffa Cake and a Latte. The former did indeed taste like a Jaffa Cake (biscuit), although it was a bit too sweet. The latte was decent. Not sure about all the 5 star ratings, but it was decent food and I give it an extra star because the prices here are very keen.

This little Cafe hidden in the corner of the square in Catrine is well worth finding. From someone previously in the food Industry I tend to respect Cafe's who get most of the business from locals. Cotton Trail fits that bill and the owners, family and other customers are so warm and friendly tae interloupers (non villagers) The food is always made freshly and is excellent. If you are looking for good honest food and a warm welcome this is the place to eat.

Small but very friendly cafe, sit down through back. Prompt efficient very happy service. Ordered 2 full Scottish breakfasts plus extras for hungry man. Food served in super quick time though was a few customers too. Amazing 10/10 quality. Highly recommended

Attended this morning...staff were bright and cheery as usual...breakfast was excellent and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his rolls...staff very attentive and slick...definitely worth a visit..proprietors are very approachable and will do whatever they can to accommodate any customer dietary needs..this cafe is part of the village hub..and is very well attended by all age groups of Catrine and surrounding villages.Always a great experience...why not pop by...you'll be glad you did.

Well Done to the staff and Elizabeth and Eddie the owners.Best hidden gem for food.see you all soon for my Breakfast yummy .caroline

Had lunch today for the first time visit. Too noisy with young kids it was like a kindergarten. The tea was served as a cup of water and your expected to dunk the cheap teabags into it. The food was just edible but the slaw on the side of the plate was watery and barely covered the small of your hand. My advise, keep driving by

Use this cafe regularly food cooked to orderand is really tasty. Lots of home baking as well, all cooked by the owner

Visited frequently in last few months as was moving house and it was convenient for quick food on the go. The owners are lovely so sorry I didn't get your names! Always took time for a blether, that meant a lot. Been back with father for lunch it was lovely. As soon as I'm passing again for school run il be back.

Dropped into this nice wee eatery in Catrine for a bite to eat. Tasty food, friendly staff, great service. I will definitely be going back in again!

I popped into this little cafe and was I pleasantly surprised the food was perfect and the staff and owners were even better than perfect.if your ever in this neck of the woods I'd definetly recommend TOP NOTCH!!!

Food is delicious and a very friendly service! Perfect for a sit in meal and to take away! My new favourite wee place around here!

I've been living in catrine fo about 8 months and decided to pop into the cotton trail after being for a walk with my husband.

Dropped in for a coffee and as usual received such a warm welcome This hard working family are now doing buffets so well done Eddie and Liz Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

A warm and friendly welcomes you in this family orientated cafe Spotlessly clean with terrific service Will be back soon

I've visited this small cosy place recently as staying close by. It dosn't look like much at first but if you go in well worth it. They have at the front the take away business but at the back a lovely wee cafe with an open kitchen so you can have a chat with the chef. It seems like a very family run business and just lovely. The food is just amazing. Very good homemade food. Nothing fancy but yummy. Very reasonable priced too. If I am ever back in that area, will definitely go back.
