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

This popular restuarant/wedding venue has suddenly closed down without notice leaving many young couples and others searching for new venues at very short notice.

Delighted that the hotel had reopened and thought we would try it out during our recent visit to the island. Arrived too early for lunch, so thought we would kill time and have a coffee until service started. Disappointed when we were refused coffees and turned away as it wasn’t yet 12pm. When we asked to use the toilets we were informed they were for customers only. Sometimes you can’t win.

Lovely lunch staff were great even accommodated our doggy Daisy with some sausages..well worth the money thank you so much x

Excellent fish and chips with the lightest crunchiest batter and juicy succulent fish. As a female solo visitor (walking Ayrshire Coastal Path) I enjoyed the relaxing room upstairs and the staff were ultra friendly.

This cozy chilled cafe is a great spot to enjoy a bite to eat, coffee and treat. I had the three cheese toastie with chorizo which was perfect and my son enjoyed the kids macaroni cheese. We shared a raspberry and white chocolate cookie after. Nicest coffee I’ve had in a while. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We will be back!!

So went to pick up new Glasses today and as I was straight after work early shift was hungry . A Piri Piri place in mall Called Black Rooster ( yea crazy a chicken place ). It had advertised “ Vegetarian “ menu. Corn burger Paneer wrap Halloumi burger All of these. £4.50. With a variety of “ sauce” flavours . I had decided on the “ corn burger 🍔” Oh sorry we’ve “ phased “ those out . Puzzled look on my face … Ok I no would like the Halloumi Burger. Ahhh ok. With what sauce and do you want lettuce and Mayo Yes please Said I. I really want you to enjoy this I will have the Spicey BBQ please and make that a meal thanks that will be £7.50 Now at this point I sat more in Hope than confidence that this wasn’t a hooge mistake . Sadly it turned out my initial feelings were founded. This mess is what turned up . When is a burger not a burger !! I spoke to a staff member explaining my confusion. Oh we’ve “ phased out the Halloumi burgers” and we now only use the halloumi sticks !!! What would you like to do ? The manager should have explained this when she took your order. I’m sorry if she didn’t . Please just refund me. Thank you. So the moral in the Tale . If it’s a Chicken shop . No matter how “ cool and on trend they want to be seen as having vegetarian options. They will most likely still be a piri piri chicken shop that wants to be Nando’s but still fail with even the basics. 🤮

Nothing special it's a chip shop

Both pizzas were burnt so bad the crusts were actually black. There was barely any cheese on the pizzas or toppings . Both were inedible and went in the bin. Still can’t believe they were actually sent out like that. I would rather have waited longer for them to be re made than to be sent what we got.

Coffee and food was good but blonde lady who served us was pass remarkable, rude and very inefficient. Sh served us without knives as they were expensive and gave us a fork to put butter and jam on a scone, she never gave us napkins nor utensils to stir our drinks and told us not to use the tables outside. How embarrassing!

Never have I experienced such hospitality and kindness in my life. The venue is gorgeous, the island is incredible and when me and my friends found ourselves stranded for the night we were taken in by the owner of this wonderful establishment who treated us with such unconditional kindness. I cannot recommend visiting this beautiful island and staying at this hotel more, the people are all lovely and welcoming and the sunsets are to die for. I will for sure be back again to a place that treated me not like a stranger but like family.

I’m surprised to see a couple of negative reviews here about service and staff talking. I totally disagree with these comments. I have always found the service to be fast and staff polite and friendly. I’m always in a hurry so I would be the first to complain if the staff were slow. Now onto the cakes… cakes are amazing. In fact I’m not from the town but I travel through 3 towns just to come to this one. I’ve also discovered their curry pies. They’re awesome!😋 ❤️

They charge a high price for a burger which is not even on par with the major chains. There is a thin pattie, which was still pink in the middle, and a slice of 'plastic cheese' on a very sorry looking bun in crumpled tin foil. Despite cola being the same price on the menu if you have it in meal it is an extra 50p. Only 8p can be accounted for by the sugar tax, the rest is fleecing your customers. To make it worse can wasn't even cold. Only the friendly helpful girl that served me saved this from being a 1 star review.
