Visited Auld Acquaintance in Girvan partly due to the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, which bore no resemblance to the establishment we visited. The place itself wasdefinitely appropriate to its title - auld (old), tatty and looked uncared for; however, once inside, we decided to give it a go as often appearances can be deceptive. I ordered a tuna & feta pizza and my friend ordered roasted Mediterranean vegetable pizza. We waited ages for the food to arrive, despite the fact there was hardly anyone in the place and when the food eventually arrived we were both flabbergasted. Both pizzas were made with ready made pizza bases, smothered in what appeared to be tomato puree instead of pizza sauce and my pizza was smothered in what I can only presume to be tuna savoury, the type used for sandwich fillings, instead of just tuna with lumps of melted cheddar and a tiny amount of feta on top. It actually looked as if a dog had thrown up on top of a pizza base. My friend's roasted med veg pizza wasn't much better and both were served on plastic plates! My supposed tuna & feta pizza was cold, so I asked for it to be warmed up, whereby the waitress took it away & then the 'chef' appeared & explained that it couldn't be reheated due to the presence of mayonnaise, reinforcing my suspicion that it was sandwich filling on the pizza instead of just tuna & feta. The food was so awful we ate only a couple of pieces, paid and then left. I wouldn't mind but the food there isn't cheap; £8.99 for a 9 inch pizza which frankly wasn't as nice as a chesp frozen pizza from Asda. The food was absolutely horrible and the place bore absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to the establishment described or depicted on Trip Advisor, therefore I'd recommend that everyone gives this place the widest berth possible and go elsewhere.

Bought a small fish supper here on Sunday evening. Canât imagine what size the normal one is! The fish was very good and the chips were okay. Far from the best fish supper Iâve ever had but it did the job.

Going on the positive reviews I popped in for a fish supper with high expectations, however I found the whole experience very underwhelming for a number of reasons.As a previous reviewer mentioned, there is no mention of the fish type on offer just a generic "fish" which is kind of strange as in other Scottish fish and chip shops the type of fish is always highlighted and in most there is actually a choice of fish.The fish I ended up with was very wet in texture with absolutely no taste surrounded by a tasteless better. The chips were fine but the condiments on offer were generic red and brown sauce, salt and vinegar substitute which tasted of nothing! Surely at the prices charged for the fish a real malt vinegar would make an appearance.On the positive side the service was quick and friendly and the tea was hot and tasty.Maybe I was just unlucky? Certainly improvements need to be made in my opinion.Iâm sorry to hear of your bad experience, we serve haddock or whiting depending on whatâs available. Our batter is homemade and very popular so something has went wrong for which I apologise, would have been great if youâd said straight away and we couldâve replaced it. We offer chip shop red and brown sauce, we also offer tartar sauce, mayonnaise, salad cream and a whole load of other sauces, maybe we should put that in the menu to ask, as there is no room on the table for the lot. I appreciate your feedback and will take it on board.

Stopped in here for a fish supper on the way back to Glasgow. What a mistake, the fish and chips were probably the worst Iâve ever had. They tasted of stale old oil. Utterly disgusting and here an hour and a half later I can still taste the fowl odour. What a waste of money!Ended up throwing it in the bin and going to Asda for a sandwich. Shouldâve done that in the first place. Avoid!
