Discover Restaurants offering the best Gastropub food in South Ayrshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. The village of Alloway is home to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and the Robert Burns Heritage Trail. Highlights of the trail include Auld Kirk Alloway, Burns Cottage, Burns Monument Gardens and the 13th century Brig O'Doon. South of Alloway along the attractive A719 coastal road is Culzean Castle and Country Park which offers much of interest all ages. En route is an unusual roadside attraction called Electric Brae, a 'magnetic hill' where a car left out of gear will appear to go uphill due to an optical illusion. A few minutes drive from Culzean Castle is the famous Open Golf championship course at Turnberry where the clubhouse is open to the public.

Terrible experience.Arrived at 1.20pm ordered at 1.40pm waited 35 mins for our main course and felt cold by this time.Should have walked out but did not..Ordered the lamb cofta,,as recommend. by the waitress, as I said I liked lamb,as not sure if I would like it. When it finally arrived I could not eat it as a bit dry and far to spicy. Spoke to Dorothy the owner who,s attitude appeared to be well you ordered it . She did not offer to try and sort anything out for me My friend and Ileft without ordering a sweet or coffee Itâs a sad day when a pensioner leaves dissatisfied with no food having paid £12.95. and had travelled over 15miles. Will not be back or recommend.could be small ,so asked the waitress about the lamb cofta.I should have asked what cofta was as did not know and only asked about lamb on flat bread. She felt I would like it. So thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately I could not eat it as the lamb is made minced up and does not taste like lamb. When I said to the waitress I felt it was too spicy and was dry. I was left with nothing to eat..Dorothy came over, but her attitude was well to bad that is what you ordered. As a new customer having travelled 20miles she could have tried to sort something out but did not appear to be interested. We did not stay on for a pudding. A pensioner that pays £12.95 and has to leave well over an hour with nothing to eat is shocking. Will never be back and donât recommend.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the Burns centre and had a very enjoyable Sunday roast. My wife enjoyed the lamb and I greatly enjoyed the roast lion of pork.Everything was cooked and presented well with plenty of flavour as you would expect. Wine list was reasonable. Service professional and attentive.Tables are in the bar area...would have been great to sit outside of the weather had been more favourable.

We spend about a week every month in Ayr, and in the past couple of years, usually eat at the Waterfront at least once during those weeks. The food is good, but it seems obvious to us that management has slipped over the past 6 months or so. If you book a table - donât expect to get what you asked for! Service some days is poor - because they are clearly understaffed for the numbers. We always book - but suspect many do not, and the staff are caught unawares. Also - in hot weather, low ceiling means the restaurant is very stuffy inside. Menu usually changes regularly - but has been the same all summer - and frankly - not really what I want, so has become a bit boring.
