The Portland Arms in East Ayrshire

The staff were great very helpful with describing the meals. It's worth the visit.

I haven't been in this place for ages but food was really good last time I visited. My doctors surgery is next door and that's why i came up as being there.

Excellent service and the food was great. Family birthday meal.

Good meal and menu like everywhere getting pricey

Tasty well cooked lunch at a reasonable price

We were there for lunch .. food good quality price reasonable service first class

1 person in a Saturday night terable

Only popped in for an hour during a hospital visit. Pint can of Strongbow £3 . Pleasant staff and chatty regulars.

Great food, service good and staff friendly 💯 Per cent going back

Quaint and cosy with lively acoustics from happy customers

Good menu. Service was friendly and quick The lunch was very nice had Chicken salad and it had plenty of chicken and salad was fresh. Prices most acceptable will go back .

Fantastic choice of food and drinks,great atmosphere,staff so helpful,so glad it's on my doorstep

Great selection but portions are smaller and prices have increased

Food wasn’t very tasty.. and veggie options were quite bad

2nd time here this month. The food is amazing and the staff are wonderful. Would recommend

Well to be truthfull, we only walked through the Portman Arms to get to McChristies ... the restaurant at the back of the building. The menu is not what you would call ... extensive, but what is available was ALL good. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. All in all, its a really nice place to go for breakfast, lunch, or an evening meal. Plus ... the Sunday Roast is a winner 🏆 😋 It's a great 'find' and well worth a visit.

Fantastic food and good plate full....

Good food and cheery staff good value

Two course dinner with work colleagues/friends....excellent!

Excellent service and great food

Fab food lovely staff. Fully recommend paying a visit.

Great food. Service a bit slow, but staff very friendly.

Been to The restaraunt a few times now and it's alway's been nice. Never had a bad meal. Lovely and homely With a nice seated covered outside dining area.

1st time we cone here and we will deffo be back. Meal was lovely as the pics attached show. Loads of fish I personally next time will just have the fish with a side salad, the fish was so fresh and a great amount. Staff were very friendly and not over every 2 minutes asking how meal is a thing I like. A well run ship and looking forward to our next visit .. Cheers

Cracking meal, steak pie was beautiful, the meat was lovely. Would highly recommend.

This is our wee local restaurant. The staff are always so friendly when you arrive and during your night. The food is brilliant, great selection of dishes for everybody and it all tastes amazing. Never had a bad meal in here. Everything is well priced and the new outdoor sitting area is lovely.

Enjoyed meal & staff were lovely

Just back from mcchristies after having a fantastic meal. The food was cooked to perfection, great sized portions and an outside area where we sat. The 3 waitresses were lovely so chatty and nothing was a bother for them. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

No hand sanitiser left in container on entering. Food good but two items that we ordered had no garnish on plate. Just a wee finishing touch would have added to the presentation of these two items.

Excellent meal and brilliant staff

Booked a table for my Dad and myself to celebrate Fathers Day after hearing how good the food was. It started okay, Haggis pakora was edible and my Dad seemed to enjoy his garlic mushrooms. I ordered what the menu described as a 'traditional roast with all the trimmings" The beef looked like it had been overcooked by about 7 hours and looked dry and fatty. Everything else, including the Yorkshire pudding was obviously frozen from a packet and had about as much appeal as catching long COVID. I returned this and ordered steak pie and chips. The pie was watery, the meat grissly and fatty. It had very obviously just come out of the microwave after being reheated. This was my first, and definitely last visit here.

First visit and the food was lovely and staff so friendly. 👍👍

Great food clean tidy staff very welcoming prompt service

Excellent food and service in a modern well managed restaurant.

Delicious meal, would recommend everybody to visit here!!!

Very good all around local restaurant, great food, good value decent service (although I feel can be a little under staffed at times when busy, 1 extra waiter/waitress would solve this) a bit noisier since the refit a couple of years ago BUT still a solid & reliable choice (for most ages) & highly recommended

The food is absolutely delicious. Great service. Idea for lunch or evening meal.

Food was excellent and the waitress were so lovely and helpful

Fantastic meal was long awaited and cant wait until we go back x

Staff are brilliant and food is lovely!

As usual friendly staff and service and all in our party enjoyed their meal 👍

Lovely food, good selection, friendly staff

Lovely decor, relaxed atmosphere and food was amazing. My 5 year old daughter cleared her fish and chips in double quick time!

Great value for money it does exactly what it says on the tin

Had a lovely meal here tonight with family and the staff were fab with our wee grandson

Lovely eating restaurant staff attentive food marvelous the only problem was waiting to get food probably because they were doing carry outs too

Food and staff were great,been there lots of times ,never disapoints.

Lasagne was mushy with no mince. Was like a bowl of soup. Used to be alot better . But staff are very helpful and polite. Just the food let's the place down

Was there this afternoon for sunday lunch food was great will definitely be back

Pleasant surroundings & staff, the meal was reasonable priced and was well done.. Only problem was my partners soup cold and chicken dish covered in sauce would have preferred side pot of sauce..

Been a handful of times now and from the relaxed atmosphere to the brilliant service to the high quality food its always at the top of our list of places to dine at.

We had a very nice 3 course Xmas dinner. Reasonable price nice surroundings good service even though they were extremely busy.

Just had a brilliant night at McChristies with our badminton club. Lovely staff and delicious food. What more could you ask for. We'll be back soon 👍👍👍

Great food and service and staff very friendly and helpful.

Good pint, questionable locals, below average pool table with no chalk and had to dart, cause I got board. Took flight. Doubled my top though, I could give 180 reasons not to visit here, but I've got 501 other things to do, time I checked out. I'd say it all again, but I'm not darting from the beginning. That's bull.

As always super service, wonderful food and well priced.

Meal was beautiful, staff very helpful

Not the best meal I've had here...but the wife enjoyed hers and that's what matters....SHE SAID.!!!!

Booked a table for 7pm for our ruby wedding anniversary. Got our starters in 10 mins. Main meal brought to our table within 25 mins of sitting down .Just rushed rushed rushed. Not a happy person.

Good food reasonably priced and very pleasant staff.

This is not a pub as the name suggests but a hotel converted into a business centre.

The food is amazing and staff are always pleasant can't wait to got back

2 course lunch menu was varied and very reasonable. Food was delicious. Recently refurbished and looks great. Quite busy for a Friday afternoon but service was still friendly and efficient.

Excellent food and service, reasonably priced, staff are great

Delicious meal as always. Staff cheery and helpful. Well done all.

First class food and service at a reasonable price

Another lovely meal with attentive helpful staff . Love the refurbishment that's taken place. Cant fault this place at all .

Good food, reasonably priced. Menu could do with a bit of a change. There was a group of us and 2 of the meals arrived quite a bit later than the rest.

Good food, nice staff. Recommended

Alway a good meal when we dine here. One of my favourite restaurants.

Regular pub but McChristies which is next door is a highly rated restaurant, tho never tried it myself But beer and rest of bar prices seem pretty much in line with rest of Ayrshire

Great bar, good prices & great food.
