The Three Reasons in North Ayrshire

Four of us meet up as many times during the course of the year as we can for a catch up and lunch. Unfortunately a local Pub we used to go to closed down at the end of September so we were left with not knowing when to go for our lunch! Prior to going over to Largs I checked out a few places on TripAdvisor looking for favourable reviews. I am delighted to say that we decided to go to The Three Reasons Pub for our lunch yesterday. What a find this was. We were stunned to see just how busy the place was. We had a short wait before getting a table. Their menu has many very tasty looking dishes on it and it was hard to decide just what to have to eat! 3 of us opted for Prawn Cocktail as a starter and 1 decided on the Chicken Pakora. What a decent portion of Prawn Cocktail no shortage of prawns and the Chicken Pakora was equally as good . We all enjoyed. What was very appealing was the fact that for main course you could have a small portion or a normal portion this to me is a winner. 2 of us had the lovely Lasagne with another having Macaroni Cheese and lastly Fish and Chips. The food was all very well priced and we thought great value for money. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and this was all washed down with a couple of bottles of wine which we shared between the 4 of us. Full marks in every way for The Three Seasons, the atmosphere was just so nice with lovely background music, the food and service were absolutely spot on. We could not fault a thing. I am very pleased to say that the toilets were absolutely spotless. What a find this was and we are already planning our next outing for lunch!! We all would highly recommend this place for a meal when you are visiting Largs as we were, you MOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Keep up the good work and we will look forward to seeing you next month.

Amazing venue certainly changed, Yes food is Best in Largs and all fresh no "Ping" Chef here. Sadly if Stuart came of his laptop at times and said "Hello" to the Guest it would make a Difference surprised that the George belongs to Stuart and they make NO connection when usually the would be PROUD to say Our "Sister" Pub however NOT in the Three Reasons or the George!!! The Staff at the George go beyond their duty to make sure the "Guest" is enjoying themselves.

Excellent lunch at the three reasons yesterday. Got in just before the rain started so got sat down right away. It was busy but the staff were really friendly ,ordered quickly and the food came out promptly. We had the Wings bucket, the Haggis basket, the Chilli nachos and two chips, one salt and chilli. All the food was super tasty and looked great. It was less than £34 for lunch with 2 Diet cokes and a pint of the guest beer, which for the quality of the food is amazing. Don’t be put off by the decor, the Three reasons is a great spot for food on the front in Largs .

Been a few times , but haven't wrote a review until now but I have to say this is the best pub in largs by far. Food is always amazing but today's special "bang bang cauliflower" was outstanding . Hope it becomes a regular item on the menu. Food , drinks and the staff and all 10/10 Can't wait to come back soon

During our visit to Largs we stopped at The Three Reasons for an early dinner. We were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to the table. We were lucky to get a table as they were very busy. Very quickly a waiter provided is the menu. We advised we were waiting for other diners and that was not problem, he took a drinks order and we looked over the menu which had a lot of options. Once our other guests arrived we ordered 3 starters to share; 1 Bucket of Wings with hot sauce, 1 Bucket of Sticks (Mozzarella sticks) and 1 Basket of Pakora. These well al very good. The mains were equally as good, 1 Chicken fillets with chips, 1 small Haddock and chips, 1 Katsu curry, 1 Steak pie with veg and chips and 1 Nachos with beef. It's quite a long narrow pub/restaurant, but well laid out and a good number of staff providing an excellent service. A big call out to Courtney who was a fantastic waitress who has such a lovely smile, thanks.

The Sunday roast is delicious, be early for lunch as the tables fill up quickly , fish and chips are also a favourite of mine

Good looks amazing everyone enjoying drinks great friendly

Good food and excellent service ❤️

The best pub food in Largs and reasonably priced too, we have tried many of the menu items and the steak pie in particular is the best I've ever had. If you're in Largs and looking for somewhere to eat, make the Three Reasons your first choice, you won't be disappointed.

A very friendly pub the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent.

Traditional pub grub at the sea front warm and cosey pub grub can't beat it , Had the scampi kids and dogs allowed "perfect"

Here for a short stay had dinner last night came back again tonight for dinner amazing both times meals were superb hubby had the mental chilli he's loves hot food and it didn't disappoint would definitely recommend and the staff are really accommodating

Great food and really friendly service. Definitely recommended 👌

Food is always fresh and tasty, the service is fantastic and very attentive. Toilets clean as is the rest of the pub

We only went in for a drink some days,some nights while on holiday brilliant loved it dog friendly too

We visited this pub for lunch after finding it on here, definitely a good find! Steak pie is tasty with proper veg and also a macaroni cheese dish and a chicken pitta with salad 5 x drinks including a glass of wine and came in at £65! Definitely bargain Dogs welcome, they brought a bowl of water without being asked and really lovely and friendly throughout the visit

Food Fab staff great . Very reasonable.A great place to go and you can take yr dog a bonus.The owner so nice and welcomingxxx

We stumbled across this pub/restaurant when visiting Largs. The staff are lovely and accommodating and the food was great quality. Everyone really enjoyed their food and we will definitely be back. It was very reasonably priced, as for two adults and two children we were around £35-40.

Sundays and sunshine are for motorbikes and friends, a group of us descended on Largs as our meeting point and decided on a spot of lunch I have ate in the three reasons countless times but realised I’ve never left a review before, I normally opt for the steak pie but I’m on a diet so today I opted for the chicken and rice soup and it was just like the homemade soup I make myself which gets the approval of all my friends and family so that was perfect for me, our resident vegetarian had the Mac cheese which she said was good a decent portion but not as good as the guy in the barras ! Need to check that one out The other three opted for the smaller portion of steak pie as they also frequent Largs and know just how generous the portions are !! The only issues with this pub is getting a table !! It’s always mobbed especially when the sun is out and Largs is busy.

Great pub food was lovely and staff very friendly and helpful

Great place for food and drink excellent selection of beers etc we had mac cheese with haggis also steak pie and very reasonably priced well recommended

Nice pub, friendly attentive staff, served quickly though it was crowded. We ordered the Sunday roasts & were looking forward to them so much. They appeared looking like nouvelle cuisine, however hungry as we were we tucked in. The beef was delicious but the rest very poor, I had carrots , some bland turnip? No roast potatoes but new potatoes with their skins on which were hard & undercooked & 1 (yes one) bit of baby broccoli. This at £10 .95 each, we told the waitress who told the chef who shrugged. We left still peckish, what a shame as the pub has a good reputation for food.

Best bar lunches, tasty food and friendly staff

Very pleasant pub. Good atmosphere, very good food, good welcome and nice decor.

Visited today 13.7.24 with my wife, daughter & dog. Can honestly say this was the best pub food I've ever had. The lasagne was superb (one of the best I've ever had) my wife got the chilli con carne (spice level.. Mental) & usually when you get chilli it's never spicy, this was & it was delicious. My daughter got macaroni cheese & said it was lovely. Next time we visit Largs, we will definitely be back. If you're in the area, make sure you give it a try. 👌

Pleasant place. Decent food. Polite and Good service. Had to wait on a table but worth it. Guinness poured to fast though. Jan 2024. Food very good today and polite service. Could improve on wine choice and selections. Good value all round. July 2024. Food excellent 👌. Service good. Relaxing atmosphere.

Me my son and brother had a absolutely fantastic time the 3 members of staff where brilliant also had steak pie definitely would recommend anyone visiting largs this pub is the place to go food is of the highest quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Me my sister and nephew went in here yesterday just after 2pm got 2 steak pie dinner and burger these where really good 5 stars should be more very well presented and all the staff that helped us where great very helpful with everything and big big thanks to the kitchen staff on the food you serve we will be back again soon keep up the good work…will recommend this pub to anyone visiting Largs even if it’s just for a day trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Staff are also excellent highly recommended

We found it very dull & a bit of an ‘old man’s pub’ vibe. There was also a bit of an unpleasant smell. We ordered drinks as we were too early for lunch but decided to leave & sample the fresh air & order takeaway elsewhere!

Excellent all around food service atmosphere price. Well worth a visit ,will be going back again next time we visit largs

Had a meal tonight absolutely wonderful friendly staff great service and quality will be back next we visit Largs thank you

Very nice place, great food and friendly staff

Really good food, large menu selection. Beware large portions!! Well worth a visit.

Soup & steak pie were lovely but service a 45mins wait poor!

Those are the first “three reasons” that come to mind to why you should eat here. Seems very popular with locals of all ages and as tourists, we would recommend it to other visitors. Also liked that they have a smaller portion option at least on the entreés we chose (steak pie and chicken with haggis). Even at that, we hadn't room for dessert.

Nice atmosphere, excellent, friendly service and very good value for money.

Great place to eat just walking of the street and a bit too eat . Very happy with our visit 😁

Really good food with super friendly service!! 😁 Would recommend 100%! Also do a really good Guinness! 🙌

What a great little place. The food is lovely, the staff are pleasant, and it’s in a great location in the centre of Largs. I’d encourage everyone to pop in for a bite to eat when visiting Largs, and I’d definitely come back again :)

Quite expensive but nice food and friendly staff

Always busy but dong have to wait long for a table. Food is first-class can recommend Mental Chili Con Carne, not for the faint hearted. Staff efficient and friendly. Probably the best reason to visit Largs. Be back soon 😊

Never a bad meal in this bar. Food is excellent and the staff are brilliant. Laura is a fabulous supervisor and Stewart a cracking owner. Clean, bright, cosy, friendly and always ready to serve you. Best bar in Largs for some lunch, a drink and decent service.

Great food, nice staff, and dog friendly!! The best pub 🍻

Great place to eat reasonable price

Love this place & have already sent lots of family & friends there for food, service is good staff are very friendly & helpful.

My wife & I stopped in for dinner & were very impressed. Old style pub feel to it, The staff were all very helpful & made you feel welcome even though your not a regular. We had some haggis fritters with peppercorn sauce good choice they were great we were only disappointed not to have ordered more. For dinner I had steak pie n chips & my wife was going to get the Caledonian chicken but when she seen almost everyone that was eating had steak pie she changed her mind & was she glad she chose this as we both agreed it was fantastic. We got the large portion & both struggled to finish it but did. The stewed steak was extremely tender & was in large chunks not one of us found fat or gristle. We would've had desert but were very full & had to waddle when we left...lol

Had birthday celebration with some special friends excellent value for money and the staff were amazing 👏

Had a lovely lunch here last week, my husband and I both had wraps, which were delicious. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely return.

Below average pub food with inflated prices! Unsure if this is cost of living but there are better places in largs to spend money! My friends would also not return and none of us finished meals

Came here because The Fish Works were closed and have to say their fish & chips were decent, fresh fish crusty batter, and peas that are actually tasty. Lovely waiter too. I loved the slightly local atmosphere here - 80s playlist, the place felt very relaxing and authentic.

Great food plenty of choice...excellent service

A nice pub, great food, staff excellent, a great variety of food, fresh made, would certainly come back

Food good, staff pleasant, cosy atmosphere.

A warm welcome, excellent service, fresh hot food and generous portions. Need I say more. Would definitely recommend.

Best pub grub in town and would happily go back over and over again for a meal and soft drink. Customer service is amazing too and everyone is friendly 2nd visit: Amazing as always and food was brilliant along with customer service. Thank you!

Really friendly staff and nice atmosphere. They have a weekly guest ale that you’ve got to try. But the highlight is the banging playlist…best pub music I’ve heard in so long!

Have tried so many places for food in Largs but this is by far the best.Lasagne and Caledonia Chicken both excellent with decent size portions.Great atmosphere and staff extremely friendly and work really hard to make sure customers receive the best experience.Special mention to both waitresses who were on today (friday5/1)as their service and attentiveness were outstanding.Will definitely be back!!!

Lovely food lovely service. Would definitely eat there again.

Nice attentive service and arrived early so not busy. All had different lunch options and not bad but not amazing either. Good pub food and not overpriced. Would go back although it wasn't outstanding either

Nice busy little pub, outstanding service and very taste food, portions size perfect. Highly recommend the steak pie.

Food is always quality great value and friendly staff. Steak pie is top notch

Has all three things you want for a meal. 1) Big portions 2) really good quality food 3) good prices Can't recommend highly enough

Fast friendly service,good food reasonably priced

This is a great place in Largs. The staff are so attentive. The food is excellent and good value for money. I can highly recommend this place for anyone visiting our little town.

First time here nice place busy with food

Excellent place for food and drinks, good menu choice, very good service and prices good. A nice atmosphere situated in the centre of the town opposite the ferry slipway would highly recommend.

5 star Sunday lunch but a glass of soda water at £1.80 and a dash of lime which I didn't ask for 0.90p. Soda water free across the road at Wetherspoons.

Always a great place to visit. Food service and staff brilliant

Great place,and the food and service was excellent,first time visiting today but will definitely return.

We had a great evening meal here. The steak pie was excellent, service good and the atmosphere very welcoming. Would definitely return if we were in the area.

Food was delicious 😋🤤. Perfect size of portions and it was so quick to come out. The staff were so friendly but not annoying in the manner they attended to you. Honestly can't fault the place and will be back when back in largs

Was dying to try this place but when I did it was mediocre at best .....food was OK but nothing great

Dog friendly pub serving good food.

Staff is very friendly, food delicious, Great atmosphere.

Excellent food and choice , staff couldn't do enough for you , I had small lasange, salad and garlic bread added chips ,£9.95

An ok pub. Was very busy the day we were in.

Really impressed with this lovely little pub. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. A young bartender/waitress named Courtney was really lovely a credit to The Three Reasons. This is a must if you're visiting Largs..will definitely come again.

Great wee pub. Staff friendly 🙌

Town Centre pub which we chose because it was pet friendly having rung in advance- It didn't disappoint - choice of meals was impressive including daily specials and a superb range of lagers (5 I think). The waitresses were totally on the ball and really accommodating. There was a slight error with the meal and the bill on the second visit but it was corrected immediately and without any quibble.

Lovely pub, great tasty food, staff are very friendly.

Beautiful pub with great meal choices.

Been here on several occasions always great food and prompt friendly service by The girls that work there.landlord is a friendly guy . Highly recommended.

I recommend good Scottish-style food

Second time there a woman recommend it is a brilliant place the food to die for

Very cozy place, good food and reasonably priced, dog friendly as well.

Great spot for lunch before catching the ferry. Plenty of choice. Venue is dog friendly, all staff were nice and pleasant. A popular place on a Friday lunchtime.

Old style pub but certainly not old style pub grub! Between us we had the steak pie and the Caledonian chicken. Absolutely beautiful scran! Definitely go again when we're up next

Food was lovely 😋 great prices & staff all friendly and welcoming!!

Family friendly local bar that makes you welcome. Always busy with locals and day visitors due to good food and excellent service. The Chilli offering is delicious, comes with rice and flatbread and has 3 strength levels. The medium is hot enough for me but they do have a "Mental Chilli" alternative.

Popped in with the kids and our dog, looking for a bite to eat. The staff were welcoming and so accommodating and the food was lovely.

Probably best pub food in Ayrshire. Always fresh and piping hot. Very friendly staff and extremely competitive prices both for food and drinks. Have dined in some of the so called exclusive restaurants around Ayrshire but the Three Reasons is unbeatable

Amazing love this pub food it home cooked fresh resealable price good portions staff are so friendly and helpful ❤️families welcome highly recommended

I didn't had any food so far, thus I cannot judge it. The barmaids and bartender are super friendly and make sure you have a great time. It was not too noisy and there are several tables to enjoy a quieter evening. As a German who explores Scotland for the first time I got some recommendations for beautiful landscapes. Thanks a lot to the whole team for the lovely evening. See you again soon.

Excellent service, great food and friendly atmosphere, highly recommend if anybody is in largs

Very good place to eat. Staff excellent as well.

Went in for the first time today. Lovely atmosphere, lovely stuff who don't rush you. We ordered large Caledonian chicken with fries and large steak pie and Potatoes. I couldn't believe the size of the portions. Huge. Yes, we ordered large but I didn't think they would be that generous.I struggled to finish my fries. The chicken was tender and the haggis was the best I've had ever! Lovely selection of veg. It came piping hot. So so lovely. I would definitely come again. Thank you.

Great day today. Food was ex excellent. Staff were very friendly put a table for 11 together as we had family from Ireland over .brilliant thank you .also considering there was 11 of us food was brought out very quick .thanks to all.

Friendly pub. Busy. Drinks bit more expensive than other places. Food generally good and I like the the small and large portion option. Had breaded haddock but bit soggy in the middle. Same as battered haddock last time I visited. Think they need to up the temp of the fryer or leave fish for longer. I would visit again but give soggy fish a miss.

My wife and I ate here on Monday night. The bar was very busy and we had to wait 10 minutes to get seated in the restaurant area. It was well worth the wait, both our meals were lovely and very reasonably priced. I picked a medium sized chilli with rice and my wife picked a steak & mushroom flatbread with chips and salad. Hers was also medium sized and definitely more than enough to eat. Why other restaurants don’t offer this? Certainly cuts down on waste! Our bill, including a pint of lager and a Malibu & Coke came to just less than £30. Amazing value, considering the quality of the meals. I would certainly recommend a visit to the Three Reasons. Easy to see why it’s number one Restaurant in Largs.
