The best restaurants serving British food in South West Scotland

We've eaten here many times over the years and it needs a fresh review. Very pleasant place set in tranquil surroundings of a local fishery. Food is always very good, as is the pleasant, unobtrusive service. Nice ambience, generous portions, whatever one has to eat, spotlessly clean, all in all great value for money. Well worth seeking out for a wee run in the Ayrshire countryside.

Staff at front of house very good. Made to feel very welcome.We have lunch here. It was gorgeous.Lovely wood burner fire in restaurant. Food a very high standard.Cosy place.Really enjoyed.

Tucked into the corner of the pier buildings in Brodick, you'll find the best coffee on Arran. It's the same price as anywhere else, but the size is more generous and the way it's made benefits from years of experience by the owner and head barista. There are cakes (please leave the blueberry muffins for locals ;-) ) and there is a small selection of toasted sandwiches and sausage rolls, available from noon. Locals meet here for coffee and tea. Some are, by their very nature, quite obscure in their ways. It all adds for some interesting debate, often shared unwittingly with people who just came for coffee but, like Ikea, they left with more than they bargained for. It can be amusing but mostly just inane chat about something local that doesn't quite need to be shared with anyone, but is anyway. The owner, John, has the patience required to run such an establishment. Dogs are welcome;...there is often a large red setter ("Dusty") in the building and he knows where the treats are. The decor on the walls is for sale and is supplied by local artists, photographers and graphic designers. The carpet is a sight to behold.

Place is a joke, completely messed up our friends kids birthday party, they booked the wrong day, yet the idiot had the audacity to shout and bawl at my friend, trying to pin the blame on her, then tried to say it was a miscommunication, then when proof was shown that it was in fact THEIR fault, he didn’t want to see it. AVOID at all costs. I Understand mistakes happen; that’s not the reason for the negative review, but the disgusting attitude and treatment given afterwards, and even blatantly lying to get out of admitting they f*cked up, is just disgraceful. The Place is also absolutely boggin!!

Our very favourite place to pop in for a treat and a coffee. Staff are wonderful and the cakes are to die for! Our week would not be the same if we didn’t visit!

Found this place through trip advisor after having had terrible service at the Puffer which was our regular go to in Irvine. Peppermill will now be our regular place for food in Irvine. Staff were lovely, food was delicious and great value. A good range of dishes from traditional steak pie, baked potatoes to pizza & pasta.

Came out for a Sunday lunch with the family and the roast beef was delicious. Service was amazing as always, shout out to Vinnie for going above and beyond for our table.

Amazing beer selection. Great variety on tap- including a DIPA and a porter from Otherworld Brewing- as well as a fridge with a selection of bottles and cans from an even wider variety of styles and breweries. Great place to have a couple of beers and enjoy a bit of live music on a Saturday night.

Dog friendly and obviously a popular place for dogs to visit!

Excellent staff very helpful friendly. Good choices from menu great food wonderful setting.

Went for dinner on Easter Sunday and the food and service was excellent. There was plenty of space between tables which we all appreciated. Menu was terrific, so it was difficult to make a choice but every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We had a fantastic meal and service at the Tudor , the food is traditional, home cooked and well presented, the decor is very nice and very comfortable, very good value too , will definitely return.

Atmosphere and staff were amazing. The £38 fillet steak. Medium rare when it came out it was tuff and cut in half. Well over cooked. The bassa fish. The plate was swimming in green puree.🥲 we got complementary puddings. The apple crumble was microwaved. We got a small pot of custard when it was ice cream I asked for. The small pot of custard wasn't enough to cover the crumble. Waist of money👎

Beautiful day so decided to take the dogs for a lovely walk in the woods. Then we had coffee and cake as it was later in the day. Everything is delicious and home made. Great selection of food and different to the norm which is refreshing. Will definitely be back for a lunch to try some of the delights on the menu and we also liked the look of the crepes on offer in the takeaway shed. Lots of goodies to purchase in the shop and the cheese counter looks great and the cheeses are delicious.

Perfect fish supper, 2 large pieces of fresh haddock; thick fillets and a generous portion of freshly made chips. Spot on.
