The best restaurants serving British food in South West Scotland

We have been here many times before but this time was disappointing. Firstly, the chicken and rice soup I had for my starter was really delicious. Mainly our mains were fine but my husband’s pork roast was served with one Brussels sprout which was inedible so I gave him some of my large portion of brussells. There was no consistency and a lesson in making Yorkshire puddings wouldn’t go a miss. Two of us had desserts, mine was an ‘after eight’ thing which was awful and my sister had the pavlova which was crammed into a glass, presentation wasn’t great but she said it tasted ok. Our main gripe was the service, and prices, the staff were ok but the wait between courses was unacceptable. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention we paid £9.50 for a glass of wine which had we realised we would never have ordered , at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask!

We found this great wee cafe today when we stopped in Ayr. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing and very reasonably price. A very enjoyable lunch.

Ordered a munchie box for my kids, ordered at 5.25, requested an update at 7.05 and delivery updated to 7.20. I phoned at 7.30 to be told we were next. I then requested a partial refund and order arrived at 7.50. I received a response that I would receive no money back, that the driver was stuck in heavy traffic. That traffic must have been mental to take 2.5 hours. Thankfully food was fine. I don't mind order being late, just better updates would be nice, and not excuses.

I recently came here with my partner for a bit of dinner we booked a table in advance. We were very excited to see that the place was dog friendly. So we came with the dog after our walk. We had a high seat and table close to the bar area which was really nice. We got three corses from the two and three course menu which is definitely a good should big portions lovely food for £21 per person definitely can’t complain. Our sever Lindsey was very ver kind and polite she looked after us and the pooch very well even getting the dog a bowl of water. We definitely will be returning.

Pity not a bigger crowd as live music on.very good

OK lunch , service quite good, menu was quite good, reasonable choice.

Just need to put heating on . It was a tad cold.

White chips and fish had very little filling. This chippy used to be excellent but now poor at best. This chippy is now banned in our house. Total waste of £15.

Needs a refurbished...prices on high side

Fantastic staff make you welcome

Thank you for a wonderful meal ,service and food was exemplary

Lunch was delicious. Danielle looked after us very well, in fact she’s was amazing. Very good at her job.

Always a friendly welcome from staff. A special mention for the staff in the restaurant. They work so hard. Food is great x

Great staff and great food. I went because it was dog friendly while I was working away from home and needed somewhere I could take the dog. Really really good food,not just standard pub food but actual quality offerings. I had seared tuna steak one night which I highly recommend, chicken supreme another night and a burger the other night I was there and it was all top quality. Brilliant friendly staff as well. I went midweek each time so it was relatively quiet, but good music at a good volume and a great selection of beers if you're a drinker.

Lovely place for a meal. Very friendly staff and owned by a fantastic couple.
