The best restaurants serving British food in South West Scotland

We've eaten here many times over the years and it needs a fresh review. Very pleasant place set in tranquil surroundings of a local fishery. Food is always very good, as is the pleasant, unobtrusive service. Nice ambience, generous portions, whatever one has to eat, spotlessly clean, all in all great value for money. Well worth seeking out for a wee run in the Ayrshire countryside.

Staff at front of house very good. Made to feel very welcome.We have lunch here. It was gorgeous.Lovely wood burner fire in restaurant. Food a very high standard.Cosy place.Really enjoyed.

Tucked into the corner of the pier buildings in Brodick, you'll find the best coffee on Arran. It's the same price as anywhere else, but the size is more generous and the way it's made benefits from years of experience by the owner and head barista. There are cakes (please leave the blueberry muffins for locals ;-) ) and there is a small selection of toasted sandwiches and sausage rolls, available from noon. Locals meet here for coffee and tea. Some are, by their very nature, quite obscure in their ways. It all adds for some interesting debate, often shared unwittingly with people who just came for coffee but, like Ikea, they left with more than they bargained for. It can be amusing but mostly just inane chat about something local that doesn't quite need to be shared with anyone, but is anyway. The owner, John, has the patience required to run such an establishment. Dogs are welcome;...there is often a large red setter ("Dusty") in the building and he knows where the treats are. The decor on the walls is for sale and is supplied by local artists, photographers and graphic designers. The carpet is a sight to behold.

Great wee play cafe for the kids.Lots of toys to keep the kids entertained whilst the adults enjoy the lovely food and coffee.

Our very favourite place to pop in for a treat and a coffee. Staff are wonderful and the cakes are to die for! Our week would not be the same if we didn’t visit!

Found this place through trip advisor after having had terrible service at the Puffer which was our regular go to in Irvine. Peppermill will now be our regular place for food in Irvine. Staff were lovely, food was delicious and great value. A good range of dishes from traditional steak pie, baked potatoes to pizza & pasta.

The duke has a famous atmosphere, and I will continents to return fo4 work. However, I have been two days in a row to order an matcha late, as the first time, it was very good. But there stock is inconsistent and unreliable, so I have still.. not .. has my matcha

Food was great 👍 but it wasn't very busy so there wasn't much atmosphere. Good food great choice of booze 😋 👌

Visited here today and was warmly greeted by trainee supervisor Ellie , who quite clearly loves what she does and it' made you feel so welcome. We were served by Mia who was so professional and friendly and service was attentive and efficient. The food is always good and the Cajun chicken burger and salt and chilli chicken were delicious. The service was brilliant and will be returning soon! 😃

Dog friendly and obviously a popular place for dogs to visit!

On the pricier side for a pool/spa/gym membership, but well worth it. Great, well-maintained facilities. The pool has a sauna, steam room, hot tub, plenty of loungers, floaty toys, and a huge window facing the beach. There are certain adult-only hours which are listed on the website. Super relaxing and luxurious, and they even provide towels. The gym has every machine I can think of, a wide range of loose dumbbells, kettle bells, step platforms, etc, and a squash room. There is a timetable of various exercise classes. Smaller towels are available for the gym as well. Lovely staff who will greet you like a friend, gorgeous location, generally not too busy. Restaurants within the hotel are again not the cheapest but very good. Be aware if you are disabled you may need to wait for access to the dedicated changing room as families tend to use it, despite it not being advertised as a family changing room. On the plus side your carer gets free entry and the staff go above and beyond to accomodate your needs. Any problems I've reported have been quickly and efficiently dealt with

This place is horrendous and not dog friendly, unless you want to sit in a dirty leaky awning with zero service. Please avoid.

Excellent food,value and service. Both my wife and I were delighted with our experience at this restaurant and would highly recommend it

Atmosphere and staff were amazing. The £38 fillet steak. Medium rare when it came out it was tuff and cut in half. Well over cooked. The bassa fish. The plate was swimming in green puree.🥲 we got complementary puddings. The apple crumble was microwaved. We got a small pot of custard when it was ice cream I asked for. The small pot of custard wasn't enough to cover the crumble. Waist of money👎

Place has closed down permanently. Telephone cut off and no longer works. Don't bother trying to go there. ...........
