The best restaurants serving British food in South West Scotland

Arrived the first night on Cumbrae and decided to eat here the first night as the local chip was closed. Glad we have it a go as the food was excellent, nice traditional menu, well priced and it did not take long at all. Kids portions were a good size for an 11yr old, he managed the ice cream after (just!). Very warm and welcoming local pub in the front, with a comfortable family restaurant area to the rear. Great staff who were friendly and great banter.

We had the most luxurious afternoon tea. The location was perfect. The service fabulous.

Highly recommend the The Lemon Tree Kilwinning for something to eat. The food was absolutely delicious, well worth the money and the service from Christopher was fantastic … well done young man 👏🏻

Best place in East Kilbride for any Italian food. Blows everywhere else out the water, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Had a fantastic evening here for my parents milestone birthday. Great food, great service, reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Just popped in for coffee and cake. Coffee was ok, but I'm afraid whoever supplies their cakes needs needs to get the basics right... like how to make a decent Scone ...dry and tasteless... and worse still... not fresh at all. Snowball was exactly the same. I've had this experience before at GGs with their cakes... all LOOK nice in the display cabinet, but I'm afraid it's all show. Better places to go. Won't be back.

We live between Deeside and Dorset and rarely in Ayrshire but down for wedding and decided to go to Scott’s as knew the owners through business over 20 years ago when they just had a couple of places & heard a lot about their massive success . Honestly , we couldn’t fault it and … we eat out a lot . From a genuinely lovely welcome from Beth to excellent service from all the staff ( Isabelle was particularly charming & efficient ) - wonderful choice of menu , terrific cuisine and good value for money …. With a charming view . Some people look to find fault wherever they go but , we genuinely found Scott’s faultless ( inc toilets , decor etc etc ) . Absolutely SUPERB - 10/10- well be back and Soon 🥂

Excellent ambience (open fire) and atmosphere - good food options all prepared and presented nicely by friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely fast friendly service Food was nice some things a bit dry as left out a bit long. Lovely place to have a breakfast with family and friends great atmosphere.

Far too noisy for a good night out. Very average over priced food. Since when do you put Rocket in a prawn cocktail. Far too much rice on the chili chicken curry. If you are trying to be an upper crust venue, step up to the plate. Will not be recommending or returning.

Quiet Monday afternoon meal. Still great food and service

Been going to the tudor for over five years ,but our last visit was disappointing. The menu had changed and the prices had went up but the portion size had went down.service and staff were fine but at the end we paid the bill and gave it to the girl .we were waiting on our change to arrive for about 15 mins , but it didn't come .the bill was 82.00 and we gave 90.00 I approached the counter on way out and told the girl that we were still waiting on our change but we were giving it as a tip .the girl apologised and said sorry .just prefer my change to come back to the table .

As I was working in the area and stopping at the Premier Inn I had the meal deal again. Most of the staff hadn't changed and were still professional and friendly at all times. Joe behind the bar was very pleasant. The food was excellent and piping hot.

The photo’s here and the exterior of the place really don’t do Oscar’s justice. And they close much later than 1800hrs. We were passing through in need of something other than takeaway food. Seeing the number of people through the window we called in. Oscar’s is attached to a cinema complex and very modern inside. It has a broad menu from traditional ‘pub’ mains to premium burgers and a well stocked bar. We had a range of starters and mains and all were excellent. Staff were friendly and skilled. Also we consider the menu to be good value given the quality. Highly recommended.

Lovely bistro style restaurant with excellent food, and a terrific ambience. The night we were there they held a Halloween party which was lively. The bar and restaurant, although busy, did a terrific job.
