The best restaurants serving British food in South West Scotland

Visited today for the first which is a suprise as we don’t live far away but have just never thought of going, big mistake!!! Great experience firstly a very welcoming couple greeted us and we were shown to our seats it quickly became apparent nothing was a problem here , very willing to please you with anything required . The food was great we had the satay starter and my friend a soup , delicious and cooked fresh ! I had fish & chips for main and my friend the veggie curry . They offered to alter meal for my friend as she was on a diet and done the same with her cheese board adding extra fruit instead of crackers super accommodating !!!! We then had coffee which again I like weak my friend liked strong we were given a cafeteria each to our taste !!! My friend and I stayed the full afternoon and we were made welcome not told to go at any point and we had a terrific catch up !! Over all 10/10 customer service hard to find these days !!! I’ll be back shortly !!!! Thank you the last Shift !

Just had the most magnificent brunch today. Beautifully presented and delicious to eat. First class food and service. 😊

Afternoon tea with friends - sandwiches were delicious as were the cakes. Service was very good with friendly staff. We took our own bottles of wine, corkage charged which standard The crockery was an mis match which is the tearooms concept but not sure about it. Inside was lovely decorated, however it was a nice sunny day and we sat outside. We were effectively sitting in a carpark. Two of the tables had seen better days. In all was good experience but the shabby chic is a little too shabby for me

It was amazing the food was so good so tasty they're were amazing workers it was amazing i would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely amazing wee cafe. The staff and service are just great. Really cracking wee place with a genuinely lovely atmosphere.

Been going to Fran’s regularly for years and staff are always friendly, welcoming and a good laugh. Food and coffee always made to a high standard. Nice modern and clean dining area.

Sad to be writing this as usually go to Hamilton restaurant which is fab but was fully booked. Arrived and was told table hasn’t been booked. Showed them my email and after some confusion they found us a table (no apology). Food was absolutely terrible. Wrong order for main resulting in long wait for my mother in law. We had all nearly finished by the time she received her correct order. Potato skins were awful, salmon main was a disgrace, and chicken dishes were overcooked. Not up to usual standards.

Went here for dinner multiple evenings when in Troon, absolutely loved the food and would highly recommend

Very nice pub very good prices staff very friendly and courteous food great first visit they but will be back for more

Well priced, good food, lovely location!

Fantastic food and even better staff

Bike group coffee/lunch morning, 11.00, only two staff on, asked what we wanted to drink, wouldn't take food orders until everyone had there drinks, finally took food orders just after 12.00, 25 min wait for the food but it was nice.

Delicious dinner this evening 😋 I had the swordfish option from the specials menu and the flavour was outstanding, hubby had a fish supper - a mouthwatering plateful which he promptly followed up with a dish of apple crumble and custard. We sat in the 'sitooterie' bathed in evening sunshine 👌🏻and the service was friendly, attentive and not pushy. A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience in a beautiful location. We are lucky enough to live nearby so we will definitely be back again. Thank you everyone at The Anchorage, Dunure 👏🏻

Highly recommend, their lasagne was absolutely lush!

The staff were friendly.we thought the rooms were a bit dated.we got quoted £143 for bed & breakfast & got charged £145.there wasn't a bar area to sit & chill & no t.v.we got offered a dining area to sit with our drinks with a nice view but wasn't that comfortable.the breakfast was first class.it was OK for the night but I don't think it's worth £143/145.on my opinion
