Stop off for coffee and cake. The owner really makes you feel welcomed, a bit quiet, but it was early afternoon, but a steady stream of people kept it going.

Expensive Fish and Chips. Chips were dry and appeared to be oven chips. Fish more batter and we both thought fish had a slimy texture. I left most of mine ordering more drinks as food did leave a strange taste.

Arrived at the time we had booked and were shown to the table. The young girl serving us did not know what low or zero alcohol beer was available, did not know if an item could be held in a hand and basically walked away from us. Waited more than 30 minutes for the starter as the chef thought he had sent it out. no apologies or anything. When it arrived a few minutes later it was bland and a tiny portion size. Main courses were delivered pretty quickly and were pretty good sizes and very tasty. Asked for the bill twice even though the place was empty.

First visit we had, staff were flustered and seemed to be struggling and service was slow, despite it not being overly busy that day. However the food was good so we thought we would return another day to try again. As ex hospitality i appreciate some days are just iff days and things go wrong, so i always go for a second trial. We planned the day with friends to return and traveled an hour for particular food items on the menu. We didn't reserve as last trip the place was so quiet, and there was no noticable recommendations to do so. On arrival (we arrived staggered due to being in separate cars) we all received huffy and "i have better places to be" kind of attitude from pretty much all staff. We ended up with an outside table due to having a dog with us to then at the time of ordering be told we can't order that food as we have to get a different menu. This wasnt communicated prior and main food items were excluded from the garden menu. The kids menu had the same food that on the adults menu was disallowed to eat outside, but the kids could order these dishes? Not sure why certain dishes are excluded from being allowed to be eaten in the garden by adults? And ill be honest I'm still none the wiser to this arbitrary rule despite trying to gain an understanding. We asked to eat inside so we could enjoy the food we traveld for, and despite not being that busy we were then told they were full ... needless to say after being spoken down to and it being made apparent our custom wasn't wanted we left to eat somewhere else. I highly recommend you walk for another 5 minutes and get the food at the puffers cafe instead. Tasted even better and had much better customer service and price point even when they were cued out the door.

We've been here before and the food was lovely. But yesterday, the staff were very unhelpful, unaccommodating and honestly, a bit rude. Bit of a fuss made about getting a table despite it being pretty quiet, moved outside as the dog with us was a bit agitated. Told we couldn't have anything from the indoor menu, despite half of it being on the kids menu (which we could have outdoors). When we tried to explain to staff, they were quite rude and we ended up leaving.

Had a late lunch/dinner was lovely. I ordered chicken and haggis pie which was great (maybe a bit tight on the chicken/haggis sauce with a massive puff pastry). I’d have even taken more of a side with it for the money it cost. However like I say we really enjoyed our lunch. Super dog friendly which I love, even have dog beds so they aren’t on the floor! Would recommend and come back, one of the better places to eat in the area for sure!

We visited the Ship Inn Irvine about a year ago and as you can see from my previous review it was very disappointing, but I returned here on the 13th December 2024 where I'm pleased to say that changes have been made, PLEASE READ the entire review. The Ship Inn Irvine, what can I say? I would really like to say something good but there isn't anything good to say 😕 The service and atmosphere was mediocre at best and the food was not good, we ordered salmon gravadlax and cullen skink for starters they were OK then main course was big steak pie which I was informed brought in and heated up very dated dish the ship supreme which was far from supreme dry chicken 🐔 no garlic in the chicken and no sign of orange in the sauce and deserts which were not any better lemon posset which was watery and with no lemon flavour and chocolate fondant which was so hard on the outside but was runny in the centre but it was stone cold I think a microwave was involved here. I got it changed but it was no better. I was told that there was a high turnover of chefs and use of a microwave in a lot of the dishes. Very disappointed having spent £94.11 for two people. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone else and will not be returning there unless there are drastic improvements to the quality of food and service. This is supposed to be a gastro pub but a lot of the chain pubs provide better food and service. Not happy at all. I believe that this is probably the worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. Back at the Ship Inn Irvine and immediately I can see a change, the front of house staff very engaging and friendly a big change from the last time, we arrived a little early but got our table right away. We had our drinks and ordered our food, the starters arrived promptly and the standard of food had gone up way higher than our previous visit in every way service, presentation, flavour and texture. The main courses and deserts arrived which were also of very high standard in every way. The service from the front of house staff was professional, prompt, friendly and most of all we were made to feel welcome here. The kitchen performed faultlessly producing high quality tasty dishes, they now have a very good head chef with an excellent brigade behind them. Overall this was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience, like night and day from our last visit. We left here feeling very happy and satisfied 🙂 and we will definitely be coming back here again and I would really recommend every one else to visit the Ship Inn at Irvine. Definitely worth a very good 5 star review and now one of the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

We recently moved to Irvine and this is our new favourite place. We regularly meet up with our grown up kids and their dogs for dinner. Food is always fantastic and the service is second to none. Our server last night 21/9/24 (tall guy with hair in a ponytail) was particularly fab and very funny. Hubby never usually orders fish when we go out to eat as we are a family of butchers but he’s had the fish and chips our last 3 visits. It’s fantastic that we can bring the dogs with us after a walk at the beach park and you never feel like they are an inconvenience. Steak pie is lovely and the “Wee Wan” is such a good size. Everyone is so pleasant and this is a fab location. Can’t wait for our next visit, thanks once again for being so welcoming

Went to The ship this morning for an amazing 2 for 1 brunch deal. Ordered 2 of the "Big Wan" breakfasts, and what a meal it was. Absolutely worth it. All the food was sooo flavoursome and very mouth watering. Not only cooked to perfection but was by far one of the best quality selection of Ayrshire produce I have eaten. Service and staff were amazing, Rebecca was a great waitress and had excellent people skills and very attentive. Great banter with the owner (Alexa) 😉 We will be back real soon for some live music and more tickle yer taste bud meals. Cheers

The food was OK, typical Pub Food really. What let it down was the very poor service! Only two young girls were there taking orders etc. For a place this size they really should have had more staff. We had FAR too long to wait before they even came to get our order. They also add a service charge, so watch out for that when you are paying. The poor girls probably don't get any of it as the payment is by card only!

Chicken banana sweetcorn pie, the chicken is off a poor quality, taste was a little bland. Portion not good for cost, left hungry. Why should there be a service charge, if I receive great food and service then I leave a good tip. I hate being forced to pay a tip even if food/service is poor. Remove the FORCED service charge, until then I will not be back. PS Staff were good.

I stopped here today for a drink. Service was speedy - and although I didn't eat here the couple at the next table did. They were served quickly and their fish and chips looked very tempting - nice portion size, freshly cooked. If I come back I'll go for their fish and chips! There is a wee beer garden - but no flowers; it's just a small terrace with outside trestle tables, and there are also covered wooden pods for diners at the side. Inside the pub is fairly traditional - which I liked. I'd happily go back. My pint wasn't too bad price wise - £4.75 for Inch's cider. Not too bad compared with others. It was pleasant sitting outside in the sun. If it rains there are the covered pods, or seats inside.

Want to start off with saying the food quality was really good and our servers were really nice and friendly and spoke away to the wee one, making her laugh and feeling included, which I really appreciate when taking her out to restaurants (forgotten thier names). I had the small steak pie and even though the quality of food was good, once the pastry was off the steak pie there was about 3 bits of small steak inside and just alot of gravy. Very few vegetables on the plate. The other guest had the Mac and cheese and although said it was nice did feel it would have been very bland had it no been for the garlic bread. The soup was very watery as well We came to the ship last year and felt the food was of a much better quality as well as value for money. The bill was close too £100 on this visit and this felt a bit over priced for what we received. We have given the benefit of the doubt this time and will return in future but sadly would not rush back on a Sunday.

Spent a lovely Sunday evening her. Was quieter than usual as the Scotland V Hungary Euro Game was on. The food was delicious. We both ordered Fish & Chips. It arrived less than 10 mins after ordering. We got a side of Garlic Bread with cheese. Two pints of beer morertti . Total bill came to £53.70 The staff were lovely and very chatty. My only complaint was it was Card Only payment. I prefer to use Cash. I can’t help but think that they may miss out on a few sales due to people having cash only on them. I can see the point on card only as it saves handling cash but not very customer inclusive. Discriminating against cash users which is legal tender. I’m sure they wouldn’t discriminate against a disabled person from dining so why cash?

Went to The Ship Inn on Friday evening with family. Amazing food. Brilliant decor and friendly staff. Had reservations as taxi driver said he wasn’t keen on it! Completely disagree with him and sad that he isn’t advertising such a local tourist hot spot. 😎🥰

More The Dark & Dinghy Inn for me. A good place to get a table if you are under mortar fire or there is a hurricane in the harbour. The food and service isn't quite good enough to take away the feeling that maybe the world has ended and you must remain transfixed by the wall of clocks

Absolutely amazing place, restaurant quality food and a lovely owner and service to boot. We brought our dog and sat outside as it was sunny, there's is also dog friendly seating inside. The place is stunning outside and inside. Give it a try!

Ok bar quiet today but toilets a lot cleaner these days. Bar stools really need dusted would take 5 minutes with a damp cloth.
