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

Nice place and pretty busy with people having meals. Good choice of alcohol.

.Excellent, tasty, hot food - served quickly with very friendly staff. Could not fault it, thank you. . Lovely atmosphere…….

We'd read good things online so stopped by on our way from Lochranza to the Machrie Stones. It's worth noting the car park is quite 'rugged' as you come in so you need to drive slowly for the sake of your suspension! It's also a bit tricky to park; it was very, very busy the day we were there and unfortunately not everyone had parked well, so we squeezed into the last available space (at the time). Speaking of busy, I'm not sure if you can reserve tables but that might be worth doing if you can, especially during the Summer; we ended up sitting outside, so would gave missed out had it been raining. We both tried the Pides - one vegetarian, one chicken - and they were delicious. The base in particular is lovely and it comes with a big bowl of salad to share, which we actually couldn't finish since it was all very filling. After looking round the shops we returned for tea/coffee and cake, and managed to sit inside this time. There is a huge range of Suki teas and the spicy one I tried was really nice. My hubby had a scone with jam & cream with his coffee and really enjoyed it. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The only minor point is that I was a tiny bit uneasy when the chef (owner?) came out to speak to someone wearing a very stained tee-shirt, but I give the benefit of the doubt that in the kitchen he would have been wearing a (cleaner) apron, hair-covering, etc.

Four of us on a cycle tour called in this morning for breakfast after getting off the ferry. My husband and I had the veggie breakfast and we can honestly say it was the tastiest and best value breakfast we have ever had. Poached eggs, delicious mushrooms, spinach, grilled halloumi, toast and the tomatoes, oh the tomatoes, plentiful and the very best taste ever 😋😋😋 I must also mention that the staff were all very efficient and friendly. We are sadly unlikely to ever be there again but would advise anyone to try the veggie breakfast.

Really good food and excellent value for money. Vegan food was delicious. The first class friendly service just added to the very positive experience. Duncan's Bar and Bistro is set to be one of our favourite local eateries!

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.

Son paid for a meal for me and his father the service was great the owner was very nice had a great lunch it was lovely definitely will go again and take all my family 👍

We were staying in Lamlash so we ate here a couple of times during the week. Good food, coffee, bakery products and cake. Highly recommended

Went as a family, the ice cream was really good. Our son had the churros with ice cream and really liked it. Nice Atmosphere and nice staff. We will be back. Slide was a bonus for our youngest

Definitely not the best eating experience. No atmosphere and indifferent staff. Food was poor watery sauces cheap ingredients factory made fish goujons with Tata sauce from a jar my wife couldn't eat. Cheap prawns and she is still looking for the crab in the starter. The venison steak was ok but some of the worst potatoes I've had. Definitely won't be going back.

Good food, soup was really tasty, staff are friendly, service is quick. Limited opening hours but worth visiting. Feels like a real community meeting place. Huge slices of cake and a warm and clean coffee shop. Worth visiting for lunch.

Hadn’t been for a few years. Really delicious lunch. My friend started with tempura, lovely, had the seafood platter which was beautifully presented and delicious. I had scallops to start and a brunchy sort of smoked haddock dish with a poached egg on top . I would say on our experience the food is better than ever and the place is a must. Both the chef and Tom the owner came and chatted to us. I got scallops in the shop for tonight’s dinner. I’ll go back to Finn’s every month at least, hopefully more often! It’s a treasure. Oh, there’s no table licence but they have a selection of wine in the shop, drop in there first!

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
