Stags Pavilion - North Ayrshire

Sunday lunch the 26th of November and fully booked months ago. Easy to see why....Fantastic food great ambience and service. Very relaxing better than any Glasgow or London experience. Starters of local crab and stuffed mushrooms followed by the most delightful local lamb and beautifully cooked Haddock.Topped of by a lovely home made carmel and apple pie....a byo and no corkage charge . A big thankyou to bRino? In the kitchen and wonderful service from Valirie and Jessica..Alan and Christina Dunn Largs....a must visit for good food lovers.

Outstandingly good food, simple but comfortable setting, staff friendly and efficient. Good choice of food, all clearly home made, incredible portions. Best restaurant on the island by far!

Three weeks in Scotland and this was the best food while being welcomed by the owner 's Valerie and Rino. Best Venison I have ever had. Also, they have an assistant that is an artist, and she displays her work in a case. Purchased Highland Cow tea towels. Pronounced if you are a local sounds like Eland Coo . Be sure to make reservations, owners are looking to retire soon, don 't miss this special treat if you are on the Island.

We have been coming to Arran for years but only heard of this place in recent years and never been able to get a table. It was well worth the wait. Nothing fancy and all in very simple settings but I can see why it’s so highly rated. Friendly fast service. Food was delicious with big fresh portions. The sticky toffee cheesecake was outstanding. The only downside was hearing that the owners are hoping to retire and sell up. Otherwise we would definitely be back. We were staying in Brodick but it was worth the 25 minute drive both ways.

Fantastic little restaurant, extensive choice of dishes, primarily using local ingredients. Friendly and efficient service from Val and the team. Restaurant is ‘Bring you own’ alcohol so makes the whole experience affordable during these recessionary times. Well worth a visit but remember to book well in advance.
