The Drift Inn in North Ayrshire

Food was excellent. Staff were lovely and offered great service. Dog friendly. Views outside over Lamlash were beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Really lovely local bar/restaurant, great views across the bay to Holly island, wonderful friendly staff and great food. Definitely recommend if you're in the area

Lovely atmosphere, friendly efficient staff. Lovely food but limited menu. Thought it was very overpriced considering it IS basically a pub

They got us a table early and couldn't be more helpful food was superb so we went back on our second night aswell

The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. But the quality of the food was quite poor.The soup of the day came with stale bread. And the mushroom risotto was too salty, with a 'congealed' appearance with very little resemblance or taste of a mushroom risotto.There is only one vegan option on the 'mains' menu, so there are no other choices. Very surprising and short sighted considering vegan options are really easy to cook and good for the environment.The only good thing about the evening was the staff.

Lovely meal, chicken supreme and Veal... great service too

Food was amazing and good vegan / veggie options. Perfect view of the sea . Pre book though they are very busy

It's braw. Nice pint, great view, lovely staff. Haven't managed to get a booking for food but was here last year and it was ace. Would definitely put a visit on your itinerary!

Mega friendly, cheefull pub with the best beer garden views on Arran. Staff are always cheerful and happy to see you and help. We went several times during a week stay on the island and the staff treated us like friends by the end.Excellent selection of drinks including beer brewed for the pub by Steve at Seagate Brewery literally 2 doors down the road (you could probably hit the brew shed with an ice cube if you stood in the car park, but please dont!!!). The food is fresh, homemade and features local produce where possible. Highly recommend both the Langustines and the Mussels, washed down with a bottle of 2 Doors Down from Seagate brewery.

Amazing hands down AMAZING!!! The new owners have turned around an island favourite and taken it to new levels the right way! The focus has been placed on pleasing the visitor instead of how many tables can we cram in.Fresh!!!! Fresh food, quality, handmaid and a great variety for all! Nothing is frozen and made in a factory and passed off as being homemade or handmade.It's was refreshing to visit somewhere with a unique menu it's not a copy of other establishments menus with slight differences! Time and thought has gone into their menu design from flavour combinations, presentation to sourcing quality fresh food. The menu has a great selection of meat and fish dishes as well as catering to vegetarian and vegan visitors without being try hard in following trends of pleasing one demographics food choice. An unfortunate mistake other establishments have made as of late. That being said we aren't vegan but couldn't resist the vegan starter and it was delicious definitely recommend the vegan Parmesan croquet starter! But if you're stuck on choice ask your server what they would recommend.The team and owners are really friendly and welcoming they don't approach you to ask if the food is okay while your mid-bite (personal annoyance of mine) and yet still attentive to your needs we never had an empty drink as well.The view of Holy Isle is the perfect backdrop while you enjoy your meal we also enjoyed the warmth of the focal point fireplace while enjoying our meal, it was a welcome treat on the cold rainy day we happen to have visited. There is also a large sheltered patio which I am very much looking forward to enjoying later in the summer.All covid guidance was followed and it felt very safe with track and trace in place, plenty of hand sanitiser stations as well as a one-way system it worked so well that we forgot we were dining during a pandemic which was very refreshing. Everything was handled very calmly and you didn't feel like you were being schooled on dos and don't.Calling to book a table is advised they were fully booked when we visited.I highly recommend a visit if you're wanting fresh food at great prices.
