The best restaurants in North Ayrshire South West Scotland

I have been here a few times over the past couple of years, the only reason for returning is that they do an okay panini and it’s very handy for before or after a walk on the beach. I have never dared to try anything else on the menu and by the looks of other reviews this was a wise idea. I can’t write a review without first mentioning the toilets which are like something from a horror movie. Soaking wet floor, only one cubicle with a working lock, filthy bin with broken lid, brown liquid in the hand dryers and a terrible smell. They have been like this for several years it seems, and you would think they would have done something about it by now seeing as it’s their number 1 complaint. The toilets should actually be closed until they are refurbished and refitted, definitely a health and safety hazard. Staff seem miserable and removed from their customers. Hardly any eye contact or willingness to engage. My mother and I shared a small bottle of sparkling water which came with two dirty tenants pint glasses, even the bottle of water was dirty. I suppose anyone working here would be miserable. It’s incredibly dated, the food is mediocre and the facilities are horrendous. There is something very off about the whole place and I think having visited a few times we’ll be giving it a pass until there are improvements made. It could be a much better place given its perfect location overlooking the Isle of Arran and the proximity to the beach. I suppose it needs a major cash injection, until then…avoid!

The food is always fantastic and service is always great and there’s a nice atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble and prices are reasonable.

Freshly prepared food , with great customer service. Good menu options and superb value for money .

My friend and I are very impressed with all the food, tasted amazing and it came straight away, nice and warm, and it was absolutely lovely, and the tea was great, the staff were nice and polite. Such a lovely experience, my friend and I will be back again

Lovely conservatory with nice atmosphere. Main course Thai Chicken stir fry - rice was quite stodgy and chicken was mediocre. Lemon Meringue pie was as flat as a pancake and the clotted cream was far too heavy. Dessert was very expensive.

Pub is very unloved. Amazing views, but surroundings a bit shabby. Our fish and chips were good but came with coleslaw rather than the promised peas. Very noisy drunk table hogging the terrace which I suspect is a regular occurrence.

We were staying at the Seal Shore campground and the Hotel was next door. We had been in previously for drinks and decided to come get for food on hubby’s birthday It did not disappoint… lovely fish and chips and a “ on the house pudding” for hubby’s birthday 🥳 What a lovely welcoming restaurant and the music was great too

Hands down the best chinese in Irvine, everything is always fresh.

This popular restuarant/wedding venue has suddenly closed down without notice leaving many young couples and others searching for new venues at very short notice.

food is ok but wouldn't say it's worth the money you pay, chasni was okay rather disappointed it didn't come with rice after paying around £15+ for just the curry. Arran special kebab is lovely. Staff are not very well organised, food missing from order had to return to collect.

Delighted that the hotel had reopened and thought we would try it out during our recent visit to the island. Arrived too early for lunch, so thought we would kill time and have a coffee until service started. Disappointed when we were refused coffees and turned away as it wasn’t yet 12pm. When we asked to use the toilets we were informed they were for customers only. Sometimes you can’t win.

Everything I've tried has been delicious. Great amount of chicken in the curries. Plenty of flavour, and always happy to add more chillies when requested. Amazing prices, especially compared to other takeaways in the same town, which have raised their prices by 25 - 40% over the last year. If they start selling apple fritters, I'll never order from anywhere else.

Lovely lunch staff were great even accommodated our doggy Daisy with some sausages..well worth the money thank you so much x

Online just eat order they sent a completely wrong order NONE OF MY IT3MS IN TH3 BAG AND YOU CANNOT CALL THEM ITS DISGUSTING AND IVE NOW NO MONEY AND NO FOOD

I got a delivery of a special fish supper on thursday 11 August which was disgusting. The fish had a very strong Ammonia smell and taste from it. I had to through the full supper in the bin. I could not stomach the chips after the rotten fish. I am usually a very good customer but kinda been put off now.
