The Red Lion in South Ayrshire

Food was great and well priced, service was great- friendly attentive staff ..

Brilliant staff and food. Fast service. No complaints. Value deals. Best to book a table.

Food is amazing and great value for money. Staff are nice and are always on the go but helpful. Have been here many times and always enjoy their delicious food.

Great pub, serving good food and drink. Staff brilliant. Still fab.

One of the best bars in prestwick,food very good 👍 friendly staff

Delivery was quick and food was hot enough to eat without reheating very nice will order again

The tempura was excellent. The chips could have been better.

Best takeaway we have had for a long time!

Food was lovely however cajin pasta was under Seasoned

The delivery time was changed twice . Original delvery time was 6.30 and actual delivery time 7.40. When the food arrived it was not as hot as it should be . We had to reheat the food.

Driver was very pleasant. Food was absolutely delicious

The tubs of sweet chilli dip had burst all over the tempura and chips making the batter soft . But other than that the meals were delicious .

Christmas dinner was ordinary, probably as good as the Weather spoons, but costing more. The pudding was dry and tasted as it was warmed up in the microwave. Ordinary pub food, nothing to make me to come back there.

Great pub, great selection of beers. Nice to see bewdog on tap! Beer garden recently done up and inside too. Great to have a pool table and dart board on the main street.

Great service, great food, very welcoming environment and great value for money. . Love what they have done with what was the car park at the back.

food was amazing love this place

Lovely pub. Disappointed to see the pool table is no longer there.

Excellent place to celebrate Christmas

really tasty food at great prices

Although staff were friendly, it definitely was not value for money. Was given menu for dinner, at no point were we told that it was a standard rate for whatever you had. If I was told this I would have asked for another menu to order from. As I only wanted one course, I expected to pay for that, not the three course that I did not have. Disappointing

The chicken was so over cooked .

We had Xmas afternoon tea on Wed 11th Dec.....the selection of mini xmas treats ..from prawn cocktails to Xmas pud was absolutely scrumptious 👍🤩🤩our cocktails too were amazing as were the staff who were very friendly n helpful. An ab fab wee afternoon 🎅🥂🌲🍹🌲🥂🎅 thanku so much Merry Christmas xxx

The chips let the meals down they were full bad bits . Other than that the meals were lovely .

very nice steak(with jus), new potatoes (ask to swap) and extra veg

Mist of the food was great but the nachos cheese was awful and the garlic bread inedible.

The food was really lovely and hot .

As always the food was amazing but the delivery time was shocking. when I phoned I was told they were really busy. I then received a text saying they were unexpectedly busy. it was the Xmas light switch on so they knew they were going to be busy. so they should have either have closed orders or adjusted time from the outset. The onus was in me to understand they were busy rather than apologising for waiting for almost 2 hours on our food (an hour and half over first expected delivery time)

Lovely restaurant and bar,food very good and value for money. Staff are also very good 👍

Enjoyed the chips without the skin on .

No nonsense good food - reliable too.

We've had several meals in the Red Lion and I couldn't fault the quality of the food at all.Big portions and beautifully presented.The staff are always cheery and polite.Lovely clean restaurant.

Classic pub - great quality and choice of food and drinks. Staff are brilliant!

I was disappointed that the skin on chips were back but the rest of the meals were lovely .

Prestwick is buzzing red lion is brilliant.

Very impressed with the Red Lion. Food was very nice, staff were polite friendly and helpful. Will be going back.

Kerry sets the bar for 1st class service in Prestwick. No request is too much. We requested Sky Sports for football results and Kerry duly sorted this out. Kerry always serves with smile despite health and safety concerns. Well done Kerry.

Very good for a pub/restaurant. Tamara took great care of us. Will back shortly

A visit to the original Prestwick Golf Club house before it moved down to beside the railway station. Lots of references to days of golfing history. Good beer and a good overall atmosphere.

Great wee pub very busy 👍 staff were great great atmosphere well done all

A warm welcome and departure staff very attentive and professional a well oiled machine doesn't just happen it takes a lot of hard work and communication an absolute credit to the work force

Great speed, in the chaos i may have forgotten to tip.

Quiet lunch time. Good food, excellent service

No estimated time of delivery was given so we have no idea if its was late ,early or on time .

Really disappointed to not be allowed in the restaurant for my lunch after I had booked a table there. Was given a table in the bar area that I had sat in the previous night without a booking. Yes I obviously should have said to them.

food was delicious, steak pie, the chunks of steak were soft and falling apart, so tender, the veg was lovely, the chicken was well cooked, pepper sauce was lovely, chips and mash were very tasty. great portion sizes.

Relaxed atmosphere, lots of space and different areas to sit. Good menu.

Driver apologised that the bag had burst, so 2/10 for presentation! But - tasted really good and was glad we’d ordered.

First time here enjoyed the food 👍

Love the atmosphere in The Red Lion, great food and friendly staff..would recommend.

Perfect - never knew you could have two additional items with ribeye steak

Late delivery, food was cold and soggy

Really busy place, great food and drink at decent prices, but pretty poor service, girl that served us was quite unhelpful.

Nice food, great prices on the 2 course deal. Friendly staff. Have been back a few times. 3 for Atmosphere due to the 'background' music to loud take it from 9 to 7 ..maybe an age thing.

Busy little pub in the town of Prestwick. Paid a visit on a recce out from our stay cation in Glasgow,

Was busy and very reasonable. Good vibe about the place

Great outdoor sitting area. Dog loves going here, and always gets plenty of fuss from the staff.

Excellent food - I mean really good ! Fantastic service - quick , attentive and precise It was a Tuesday so fairly quiet but most tables in the restaurant were busy Highly recommend

Basic pub food.....bruschetta starter was so hard I couldn't cut it with my knife.....sausage and mash in red onion gravy average at best......my wife's burger came with what was quite obviously frozen chips. Wasn't the worst I've ever had but after reading about people raving about the food I was somewhat disappointed.

Had a light breakfast unfortunately they didn't have tomato juice for a bloody mary but one of the staff gave me a cocktail they were trying out on the house good pr

First time here food was lovely what we had will be back again.

Standard pub grub done well . They have some great offers and local lively sports bar attached

Meal and drinks would recommend trying the haggis chips

New menu , had the Garden Platter for 2 Absolutely superb . Haggis Bon Bons , chicken wings , Chicken Tempura , Onion rings . Chips .(£20)

Great family pub that went out of their way to accomidate buggy. Great food friendly staff. Great all round.

Food was great as was the service

Incredible place, brilliant service, great food. Went above and beyond to ensure we could order food, even though we got there after service closing.

Really nice food, great prices, great choice

The food was one of the worst meals that we have had . The tempura was in one lump and was difficult to bite through. The chips were disgusting . We are very disappointed with our meals .

Meal was delicious, pleasant waitresses, music was a bit too loud but there again we'd chosen to sit right under a speaker. Pretty busy with plenty of regular customers.

Such amazing food and amazing service. The waitress Katie was such a lovely kind smiley girl nothing was a problem. Definitely recommend here for eating

First of all, atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The restaurant area is very nice and the ‘bit out the back’ was lovely. My friend and I had a drink out there after lunch. The bar atmosphere was also nice and relaxed with a few guys in to watch football. TV’s everywhere for people watching the football, which we weren’t, but it’s not imposing or loud. PRICING: I agree with a previous commenter that the prices are confusing and also a bit of a rip off when you consider that it’s £13 for a sandwich. There’s supplements for quite a few dishes on the “2 courses for £15.95” menu so it isn’t really true to its word and is looking to capitalise on every meal. For example, the lasagne doesn’t come with chips - or salad. It comes with a small slice of garlic ciabatta (which was delicious!). This isn’t reflected on the website which shows a photo of lasagne with chips and salad. Also I notice on the website the set menu has increased by no less than £3 in the past few months. The pricing is further confusing on the drinks menu where a glass of Prosecco is £6.30, but add some fruit juice to it to make it a cocktail and it’s £6! Although they did try to charge me £80 on the receipt. I also would not be impressed at paying £13 for a burger, £4.50 extra if I want the privilege of a slice of cheese (toppings can only be bought in 2’s so bacon and cheese for example, but I don’t like bacon on a burger so 🤷‍♀️) then an extra £3.75 for chips with it. It would be understandable if the food was exceptional, but it isn’t worth what is charged for it. FOOD: My friend ordered Cajun chicken crepe which came with Cajun fries. All looked nice and she seemed happy although is usually complimentary with food but wasn’t really on this occasion. I didn’t try as too spicy for me. I ordered from the 2 for £16 menu as I fancied the goats cheese crostini starter. The goats cheese and small salad with a balsamic glaze was nice. The crostini was way softer than a crostini should be though and for £7 I’d expect the crunch of some pine nuts with it. I paid a £1 supplement to have this starter. Of the non-supplemented main courses, 4 of 7 contain cajun or haggis so if you don’t like these and want something beyond the mac n cheese or sausages, you can easily make at home, you’re definitely paying a supplement. The plain hamburger in the set menu doesn’t even include chips. There’s definitely a lack of variety to the set menu. I would never normally order lasagne but it was the only thing on the main options of the set menu that I’d eat so lasagne it was. The server said “and would you want a wee portion of chips with that”, quite nonchalantly upselling, as if it was no extra cost to me. More bechamel and pasta than meat sauce in the lasagne, as can be typical when eating out, but it was tasty, although was swimming in grease. There was a literal puddle in the food. I know sometimes this can happen with lasagne but not to that extent which was a shame. I was glad I asked for the starter to be brought together with the mains as I used the salad from it to eat with my lasagne. The staff are lovely and atmosphere was so nice. I’d probably return here to eat, I’d just choose something else. And make sure to get an overdraft if I want to pay up to £16 for a sandwich 😅

Visited Father’s Day . It was a set three courses for £24 . Food was delicious and excellent value . Staff were friendly and service was quick . I gave 4* as decor is badly in need of a facelift but food and drinks were good value .

Bar was empty and was told we were being loud and disturbing people eating even though the restaurant was at the other side of the building. The barman with the short hair and glasses was rude, should learn customer service, spent hundreds of pounds in there yesterday. Went to the bottom of the bar and couldn't hear any noise from our table with the music that was already playing, what a despicable lie. Shameful!

Decent food and friendly staff. I'm back so it was a good experience. I can recommend it to anyone. Thx guys

The food was lovely , but the pots that held the dip had melted with the heat from the food and were just about impossible to open .

The place has been done up recently and is looking good. There was also a very good live band.

Food standard pub grub menu but very enjoyable to eat. Served within about 15/20 mins not rapid but not too long, portions adequate but could be bigger. My son had chicken tempura for starter and he ate it all, Cheese-mac as main with garlic bread he also enjoyed it but couldn't finish, myself had steak pie with spuds and veg, I also had an empty plate so no complaints. Staff also very well trained, friendly, well presented, organised and good at their jobs

lovely meal best cajan chicken I've tasted . lovely seasoning and sauce was so good had the left overs on my chips too lol . kids loved there meals also . arrived very quickly and courier friendly and helpful x

As usual perfect steak - thankyou team

Quality food for very reasonable prices. I cannot fault the food or service you receive here from all the staff, especially from Ashley. She always goes out her way to do her best for you and make sure you have an enjoyable evening and always goes the extra mile. Even tonight with a drunk customer that was loud the full night, shouting in her face and calling her all sorts, she handled it very professionally with a calm demeanour. We visit here regularly and highly recommend it.

Very good meals served by helpful pleasant staff good value and portions well presented. Some people not happy with having to wait for their meals but if restaurant is busy (a good sign)you must expect a slight delay. Will point out that Ashley who waited on our table was more than pleasant ,nothing was a problem to her even when under pressure from an irate customer ,maintaining a dignified and professional manner.

Was supposed to be cajun fries but was just ordinary fries and there was no taste offcthe so called cajun sauce. really disappointed with it.

It was busy & therefore quite loud but it didn't spoil our visit too much. The onion rings & fries were a bit greasy but the burger & coleslaw were lovely

always great for a coffee ☕ beer 🍻 and a nice meal

Great place to meet friends for lunch. The meal we were served was delicious.

Food, as always, is excellent. Can be a tad, noisey and echoing at times. Recommend the steak pie.

Nipped in after picking son up from airport food was delicious service was amazing and staff realy friendly will defo be back

Nice place nice staff nice atmosphere.

Steakpie was absolutely amazing. Really freindly place, staff are lovely..

Very busy but staff were great.Food was lovely

the creamy cajuan chicken is not what I had expected I paid £12.00 and got a small chicken breast and rice in total that would have cost under £5.00

Stopped in for drinks and food before a wedding reception in Prestwick. The staff are very friendly and good atmosphere. The drinks are very reasonably priced and good deals on food. We had 2 courses and then shared a dessert. In better weather, I'm sure the beer garden would be excellent. Downside where gents toilets, 2 out of 4 urinals were taped off and 1 of the 2 stalls was unusable, I assume the flush wasn't working, not pleasant.

Great food,great service. The atmosphere was jovial.

luverly steak thankyou - disappointed you no longer have stamp saving reduction for regular customers

Food was average and overpriced, was overall disappointed with the service, although the staff were attentive. My bill had to be processed twice because a staff member made a mistake.I will now have to wait a few days for amount to be reimbursed back to my account,not happy.

Food was late, overpriced, cold, with a small portion and the chicken was too tough. I ended up having to shove it in the microwave to make it passable. The only redeemable feature was the sauce was kinda good, but that's it.

Pricing was confusing on the way in. The menu was a professors dream with the initial “from £13.95” to £15.95 with supplements all over the menu. The food was of reasonable standard although a tad sparse for the cost. Our starters Tempura £6 odds however has a £2 odds supplement. It was good however 5 strips of chicken was the serving. I had Fajitas for main and it was just ok. My wife had the Cajun chicken with a thimble of rice, not good value. Sweet, erm, no thanks. With a lager and a can of coke £49. Not good value and we will try somewhere else next week. 3/5 is very very fair.

I received a message saying my meals were delayed . The meals were lovely . I had asked for no hoi sin dip . The tub of hoi sin had burst and was through my tempura which is off putting.

Just had the worst experience ever in a restaurant was supposed to be a nice Mother’s Day meal to treat my mum who looks after my dad with Alzheimer’s arrived at our booked table to be told you only have 2hours. ok it’s busy no problem had our meal which as regulars was ok for this waitress to walk past and tell us we have a half hour left wasn’t even finished my dessert. Went and paid our bill which was over £100 went to finish our drinks she walks past again and says this is 5 minute warning I need this table I said to her she was very rude to be told it’s busy I need the table I said we booked at 3.30 so should at least have till 5.30 but no she made us feel terrible and everyone looking at us I said I don’t see you telling anyone else it totally spoiled my mums day out will never be back .

We booked a table in the restaurant 2 weeks before we went. When we arrived we were told that our table was set up in the bar. When we told the man that was dealing with us that we had booked the restaurant he just said I don’t have any tables available. He was extremely unhelpful and could not have cared less that we were unhappy about being put in the bar. As a result we left and went elsewhere for lunch. We will definitely not be back and will not recommend The Red Lion to anyone.
