The Ghillie Dhu in South Ayrshire

Possibly best Christmas dinner we’ve ever had, delicious and complete faultless. Very reasonably priced too. Thank you

This review relates to the Mobile Scullery service which we have had twice now which was 3 meals for 2 people each time for a very reasonable price. So that's 6 different meals we've had and all have been excellent...so tasty and decent portions. They keep in the fridge and you just microwave them for a few minutes and you're good to go. Also previously sampled the mobile van at Prestwick Cricket Club which was also top notch. Will be ordering again soon.

Brilliant lunch today. Staff all so friendly and accommodating of our children and their random requests. Highly recommend. In particular the haggis and potato scone stack was immense.

Didn't live up to previous excellent ratings. Firstly, the menu online does not match the menu that was being served last night which is annoying when you have chosen the place because of that menu. Secondly, the food itself was just good in our opinion.

Visited today for lunch with my husband. Service was excellent and it is rare to find such a knowledgable young man who described the menu to a T We opted for the seafood tacos and it was indeed a first class food experience. This restaurant provided excellent food, beautifully presented and flavour in every mouthful. We highly recommend the Ghillie Dhu and we will definitely revisit.

Cracking pub. Staff really friendly. Food was amazing. Always visit on trips down from Glasgow. Street food menu is the highlight.

We had the Christmas Lunch and it was amazing. Lovely festive feeling, Excellent service from Hope, Barry and all the staff.. You do an amazing job and looking forward to seeing you all in 2023

One of our meals was left uneaten as tasted and smelled a bit odd. No attempt to offer refund or replacement despite telling the staff member.

Once again the Ghillie Dhu team catered for our staff in-house Christmas party. Michael and his team delivered wonderful food and service as always. Well done and thank you for making our night very special 😃

Best pub in Ayr fantastic staff fantastic beer fantastic food fantastic entertainment what more can you ask for a must if you are in Ayr 😀👍🏻

I love what The Ghillie Dhu Ayr have created! Thursday through Saturday they have a fab streetfood menu that changes regularly. You can eat in or take it away with you at a lower price plus they offer a lite version early daytimes. The star of the show is the Dunure Lobster - a great example of supporting local! Then on Sundays it is the dreamy Carvery - will be making this a regular winter stop. All in all a great team, service and just the best food around!

After seeing so many Facebook posts about the Sunday Carvery where the food looked delicious we were left so disappointed by our visit. Throughout our visit the restaurant was absolutely freezing which reflected on the food which was cold and that was with it being newly put out. I understand that a Carvery is mass production but the plates were stone cold when we got them and the food looked to me as if it was all like pre bought and just reheated. I wish we had just ordered from the menu (we weren’t offered a starter) as the food at the table opposite looked delicious

We had the Sunday lunch carvery and it was amazing! They gave so much meat and it was cooked to perfection. The roast potatoes were crispy and fluffy! We had cheese cake to finish that was one of the best cheesecakes I've had! Very creamy and a very large portion! For 4 of us with mains deserts and drinks was £60 so was a bargain also! The staff were lovely and very attentive, We will be back and recommending to others.

Excellent, friendly staff. Varied menu which differs from any other restaurant we have visited in the area. “Street Food” menu regularly updated to make for a different experience on each visit. Faultless meal on each occasion we have dined here. Definitely our favourite local restaurant and we will continue to be frequent visitors.

We visited here and were surprised to find it wasn’t busy on Friday lunchtime. The welcome and service from the staff on duty was top class…and the food which was beautifully presented, was absolutely delicious. Top marks from me…well worth a visit.

The Ghillie Dhu did our food for our Xmas Party Night at our GP Practice. Food was first class, the best we have ever had. The service and professionalism was second to none. Can’t recommend highly enough. Well done and thank you!

We had an amazing lunch at the Ghillie Dhu. Fantastic service from Hope and Josh and just such a lovely place to eat. I had the lobster and it was amazing.

I got the Ghillie Dhu to prepare a hot/cold buffet on Saturday 28th August, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The variety/freshness and value for money was amazing and I would not hesitate to use again or recommend. The delivery was spot on and attention to...

Six of us went here last night for dinner. Very busy and a bit noisy but good atmosphere. Friendly service and a very good value and imaginative menu. Very Covid safe and aware. Specials are changed every week and are terrific. Highly recommended.

Omg first class food. Really well presented and absolutely delicious.. 5 Stars. It will be amazing when we can get back in and catch up.. Arlene and Stuart xx

Arlene and Stuart have missed our Ghillie Dhu for the food and the great atmosphere 🤗 However the takeaway food has been amazing and you have done a brilliant job with that. Just missing Hope and Josh and the banter ❤️
