The best restaurants serving British food in Ardrossan and Arran North Ayrshire South West Scotland

We fondly remembered the sandwich station from a previous visit to the island a few years ago, so we just had to visit again during our latest holiday. We ate here twice during our week (once with the Mogabout island tour) and we were not disappointed. They still serve great sandwiches on great bread so if you are visiting Arran you have to go there. Just make sure you are hungry as the sandwiches are substantial.

Sunday lunch the 26th of November and fully booked months ago. Easy to see why....Fantastic food great ambience and service. Very relaxing better than any Glasgow or London experience. Starters of local crab and stuffed mushrooms followed by the most delightful local lamb and beautifully cooked Haddock.Topped of by a lovely home made carmel and apple pie....a byo and no corkage charge . A big thankyou to bRino? In the kitchen and wonderful service from Valirie and Jessica..Alan and Christina Dunn Largs....a must visit for good food lovers.

Un cálido saludo a su llegada, el personal muy atento! Comida fantástica!! Muy recomendado!! La primera vez que mi esposa y yo hemos comido en este restaurante y sin duda volveremos a por más!!

Food and service both excellent! Little bit pricey but worth it given the quality of the food. The sirloin steak burger in particular was very good.

The good is decent enough but I always leave feeling it’s never quite worth the money. Kids meals are 9 quid and don’t even include a drink. It could easily be (and often is for us) the most expensive meal you’ll have on the island, without ever really delivering anything to justify that tag.

Busy wee cafe, visited twoce of hot drinks and cake. Grest service and reasonable prices. Carrot cake is the best I have ever tried, sad there was none available on second visit, although the coconut and raspberry cake was very good.

We had a great meal in this excellent restaurant. They serve what they call 'Scottish Tapas', letting you try lots of different dishes with a Scottish slant. There are Meat, Fish and Vegetarian options with lots of side dishes and all of the ones we chose were delicious. And the waiting staff were helpful, efficient and charming. Would go again at the drop of a hat.

We went with our baby and dog a couple of times during our stay. The food, both sweet and savoury, is delicious. Fantastic selection of cakes with quite a few different to what you usually find in a tearoom (in a good way!). They do takeaway on some of the savoury options and the cakes if you can't get a seat as the cafe has limited seating. Lovely, friendly staff who made us feel welcome.

My wife and some friends went to dinner here and had a lovely relaxing time. It’s bring your own wine. It was very quiet in the restaurant on a Friday night (Peak summer season) so had little atmosphere but the place was chill and the staff were nice and friendly. Maybe some louder background music to fill the room a bit more would’ve been nicer. I think it’s quiet because of the restaurant location, but the window views looking onto the water are stunning. Decor is cute because it’s all lighthouse themed. The meal itself was delicious and had lots of options available on the chalk board menu. Our group all had empty plates and the desserts afterwards were to die for. Seriously unreal, the banoffee pie had tonnes of caramel on it and the creme brûlée was perfect!! Will definitely return.

Had lunch and cakes here, one of the best places for to go for food during the day on the island. It’s well liked and well known by a lot of visitors. People have been going for 20 years+. Got some history about it and the place has never changed. Highly recommend the specialty meringue cake dish. It’s huge but worth it. Really disappointed about the annoying opening hours. We drove to visit one day on a Saturday and it was closed. Turns out it was SHUT FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY EVERY WEEK DURING THE SUMMER PEAK PERIOD!! And we’ve found it it’ll be closed over winter too. We hear it’s to do with staffing issues which is a current issue but it was really disappointing to be closed on such busy peak days. Doesn’t make sense and we drove all that way

A fantastic place to come for lunch. The food was amazing! I came with my partner and my friend’s family (4 adults, 2 kids). 2 of the party have dietary needs- 1 celiac and 1 who has a lactose intolerance. I have to say, not only was the food fantastic, but the Gluten free options were fantastic, and the staff were amazing. Not only were they friendly, but they all seemed to have fantastic knowledge of the foods they were selling and the allergens that were in them. We were really impressed and actually returned a second time. The second time was just as good as the first. Definitely worth a visit!

Hotel looks uninviting from outside but inside the decor and soft furnishings are excellent. The three course meal was delicious and the staff were well trained friendly and polite

This was a great three night stay in the Pub we were made very welcome plus our three dogs certainly plan to return If you want to get away from it all sit by a cozy fire this is the place to go

Excellent traditional family bakers that sells classic and traditional Scottish bakes. We popped in here 3 times during our stay. Can highly recommend the steak pie (both hot to eat takeaway and cold to heat up later), and any of the sweet bakes. My favourite sweet bake is the pineapple Melba (pineapple cream at other Scottish bakers.)

Corrie tea room and golf course are perfect examples of Arran at its best….full of character and welcoming. We had an excellent lunch of sandwiches and delicious soup, with great friendly service. Just what we wanted ahead of playing the wonderful golf course. Would thoroughly recommend.
