The best restaurants serving British food in East Ayrshire South West Scotland

An absolute delight from the moment we arrived. Our hosts, Johnathan and Gordon and their wonderful staff, were attentive and welcoming. The selection of sandwiches and sweet treats were outstanding. A beautiful building, well loved and renovated to the highest standard. The loveliest hosts in the most impeccable and impressive surroundings. Faultless and delightful.

Ace. Keep up the good yummy work. Service fast, choice great and ices yay! Great to have this so close by. Maybe not so good for the waistline lol.

While touring Scotland on motorbikes we came across this beautiful little gem of a cafe , perfectly cooked quality food

Good food great staff. Meals snacks baking soup filled rolls and more. Great choice clean and friendly

Friendly coffee shop. Prices competitive. Food freshly prepared from a varied menu and the best soup. Highly recommend.

This is the nearest location for hot rolls to my house. Its fine in an emergency, but their pricing is a bit random. Roll n Sausage is £1.80 extra bacon is £1, but they charge £3 because a Roll n Bacon is £2 and extra sausage is £1. Sorry if this is a bit too pedantic for some, but it annoys me. Tried their chips yesterday. I won't do that again.

Visited this cafe today, beautiful setting, lovely food and fantastic service. Even gave me a wee extra tub of ice cream for my dog! Will definitely return

The Boswell Arms is cosy and warm, friendly and efficient hostess, the menu was good wholesome food and very competitive pricing, steak pie delish plenty of steak, perfect meal thank you

Fantastic food and superb staff.

Been here a few times, it’s always had long waiting times but the place is a shambles. About 8 members of staff and no structure, they all do a bit of everything but don’t actually finish anything. Lack of control or structure leads to delays. Arrived and no order taken after the 20 p mins. Table next to us even said they’re before us. We then get one drink but had to ask for my coffee twice. The lady apologies, starts making it and wanders off again. Food comes, baked potato dry and table next to us said the same. We had to ask two seperate waitresses for condiments. Sat waiting to eat our meal. Table next to us get theirs and the waitress drops half their chips on the table and walks off. No replacement or apology. Then go to pay and stand with again no apology for the wait whilst 3 of them around the till. Showing a girl how to use it but 3 of you! Will not be back!!?

Great wee bar with a good selection of beers. Friendly staff too.

This was an excellent place to take my father for his 70th birthday. A modern scottish inn with a varied menu, a a very high standard of cooking, generous portions and at a affordable cost. I believe this is likely to be one of the most visited restaurants in ayrshire despite its rural setting and certainly the flow of cars during our stay was constant. Yet due to the set up of several smaller rooms it never felt too busy and still felt intimate. Food was not slow either and quality was still good. Chilli caramel salmon was a particular hit and the banana sponge with banoffee ice cream was a treat. Service was excellent and friendly and the fire place was a roaring treat!!

After a bad experience at the restaurant we were offered a comp meal. Food was great! Service was great and the manager on shift made my visit. He was professional, genuine and seemed to really enjoy his job. He made the experience so much better.

First booked the Sorn Inn for an anniversary meal for 17 people and everyone (including children) loved the food. Have been twice more and will be back for the new set menu on Wednesday. Fantastic food and our host David was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Chef's menus are fine dining but at reasonable prices. Certainly our new place to eat out. Thanks David.

Dinner was v good. Service poor. £4.50 for a pint of cola an absolute rip off. It’s a pity as the food was very good however won’t be back due to cola cost.
