We had the most brilliant evening at the Hogmanay Ball. Staff were fantastic!
Food was excellent, fiddle band that played throughout our meal were brilliant, Verona, the main band, were quite something! Playing nearly all decades of music, along with some ceilidh dance, they had everyone up dancing all night. But, the highlight for me was the pipe band! Wow!
Brig O Doon, I have got to congratulate you on your staff, what a fantastic, friendly bunch of young ladies and men! They are a credit to you!
The only thing that sort of let it down (only a little complaint really) was the little steak pies and sausage rolls that were served after the bells. I feel that these may have been heated up in a microwave as the steak pie pastry was soggy and the sausage roll pastry quite tough. This is only a tiny complaint for an otherwise fantastic evening and did not spoil our night in any way.
A big thank you to all of you for making our night so memorable.

We were here in winter when the nights are dark and the restaurant pretty featureless without a view. But we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food which is fantastic.
However, this was let down severely by lacklustre service which was slow and unattentive. We were particularly annoyed when hot food was served before cold, with a long wait between food arriving, meaning we all ate cold food whether we wanted to or not.
At these prices, the ambience and the service would make me avoid here again.

We have just enjoyed another fabulous meal at the Chestnuts. The food is always great, the staff very friendly and welcoming and we find it difficult to go anywhere else as the standards here are excellent. There is definitely something for everyone as the extensive menu caters for all. As a non meat eater I can highly recommend the vegetarian burger which is the best I have ever had. Can't wait to return,

We drove 40 mile round trip for a meal on New Year's Day, as a family of 4, not dissapointed. Chicken chasni best we ever tasted, also the tandoori chicken was delicious. Not a fancy restaurant above a beachside shop, but located a stones throw from the beach. The very best thing apart from the food is the service, so friendly and interest in where you have travelled from, was clear at our visit several people eating were frequent visitors, as they were clearly known to the waiters. Great food good prices around £10 for a main meal with rice. We were offered complimentary drinks but were so full we had to decline. Won't wait long to return.

Previously reviewed this restaurant in july 2016 with great praise as it was rather special and recomended it to friends as such. Not sure if it has recently changed hands or just changed chefs but sorry to say our last visit was rather disappointing.
The a la carte menu had no resemblance of the past which had a mouth watering choice.There being four starters, two of which contained chicken.The main courses were also very unimaginative and included 3 chicken dishes.
Don't get me wrong, the meals we had were all pleasant and the staff are all very nice, but sadly this restaurant is no longer special. This was not an a la carte menu. It now serves decent pub grub. This is fine, but so do a lot of other establishments.
7. Peggy's Tearoom

Reviewed By Rossergruffydd - Glasgow, United Kingdom
A number of people had suggested a visit to Kirkoswald to see this development that has done a superb job of bringing back to life the heart of a run down village with strong Robert Burns connections. A great pity about the disgraceful state of Souter Johhnie's Cottage - but that's down to others to fix. The Peggy's Tearoom buildings are looking very smart and have been thatched very well - speaking as a Devonian I know good thatch when I see it.
The 'tea room' has a good range of food at a reasonable price and the surroundings were clean, airy and interesting. The delicatesen was well stocked with a wonderful selection of interesting foods and delectable chocolates. A chocolate shop and 'factory' is also to be found at the back of the nearby Souter Johnnie's Inn. An ideal place to stop off for a break of journey. The service was a little less than attentive, but the place was busy and the range of pastries was an extra enticement to add to the order and keep the staff occupied.
A small garden centre is present and upstairs has a shop with a wide range of craft items at fairly high prices. Crossraguel Abbey is nearby and very much worth a visit. The old Kirkoswald Kirk ruins are just across the road and the relevant Burns graves are listed on the interpretation board.

Latest visit was disappointing. Basic menu limited soft drink options. Served 2 glasses of milk to find them warm. Side dressing of salad with baguette raised a smile as this was disappointing. Tactfully advised staff about the milk when I was leaving with my mother....MoreThank you for your comments, customer feedback is important to us

Had a lovely family get together on Sunday and went for tea. Things went from great to bad very quickly. A waiter thought he would memorise six starters and main meals, and asked twice for our order. Starters arrived, one order missed therefore sat watching everyone eat, then gave toasted bread on a gluten free order, when I questioned if this bread was gluten free was told not sure!!! The plate was taken away and quickly returned with gluten free oatcakes, the plate wasn’t exchanged and the remains of the toasted bread left on the plate with the oatcakes on top. My daughter was very ill when returning home!! The meals themselves were tasty and we were compensated with six soft drinks that had been ordered. I didn’t complain but I assumed the waitress knew I was annoyed. Perhaps education on the importance of dietary requirements should be priority.

Out and about for a Sunday run to blow away the cobwebs and arrived at the Kirkmichael Arms. A friend had recommended the food and we were not disappointed. The waiter was very good taking all the notes of my various dietary requirements (big list !) and the Chef was very accommodating. We both enjoyed our meals and would highly recommend a trip to The Kirkmichael Arms. There is also a beautiful gift shop attached to the restaurant ...... any excuse to go back !
