Lively town centre bar.

Maybe it was an off day for this place. Preferred the old system, don't like leaving table to go for food. Soup was very thin and bread was tasteless flatbread not crusty bread. We managed 4 drinks in 4 and half hours as service was so slow, felt a bit letdown as have been before at lunchtime. We left a decent tip

Lovely friendly pub and restaurant. The food is excellent, and I love the new system. Barry and the staff are lovely and make you feel very welcome. Great atmosphere.

Possibly best Christmas dinner we’ve ever had, delicious and complete faultless. Very reasonably priced too. Thank you

Just been today and can honestly say not 1 of us said we would return, we were in a group of 16 there for a birthday, i checked the menu online but the menu when we got there was nothing like i had read, ,New ordering system was running where when buzzer rang you went and collected your food, we waited a while as i think there was only 1 person cooking and 1 putting on trays, and also seemed to be trying to get them all at same time, instead of as and when ordered, some were cold and my bao buns were like a lump of heavy dough, gave impression of having been rehet , asian stir fry was about a Tsp/Tbls of bean sprout and maybe carrot, with a drop of tastless sauce. A few did say their burgers were tasty but the spicy ones were not at all spicy. To top it all, came in cardboard and with wooden throwaway cutlery, not at all what we expected .

This review relates to the Mobile Scullery service which we have had twice now which was 3 meals for 2 people each time for a very reasonable price. So that's 6 different meals we've had and all have been excellent...so tasty and decent portions. They keep in the fridge and you just microwave them for a few minutes and you're good to go. Also previously sampled the mobile van at Prestwick Cricket Club which was also top notch. Will be ordering again soon.

The food was excellent and the waiting staff Michael and Harry gave a first class service. The live music was brilliant too. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in Ayr.

Brilliant lunch today. Staff all so friendly and accommodating of our children and their random requests. Highly recommend. In particular the haggis and potato scone stack was immense.

Didn't live up to previous excellent ratings. Firstly, the menu online does not match the menu that was being served last night which is annoying when you have chosen the place because of that menu. Secondly, the food itself was just good in our opinion.

Was greeted by a lovely lady on arrival on Sunday 2nd July who very quickly showed us to a prime table, this was about 5pm. She was great serving us lovely drinks and recommending chefs specials. We had an extremely tasty fish dish which included lobster and roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings, they were both absolutely delicious so can highly suggest visiting this bar/restaurant.

Visited today for lunch with my husband. Service was excellent and it is rare to find such a knowledgable young man who described the menu to a T We opted for the seafood tacos and it was indeed a first class food experience. This restaurant provided excellent food, beautifully presented and flavour in every mouthful. We highly recommend the Ghillie Dhu and we will definitely revisit.
