The Village Inn in North Ayrshire

Quick phone call re open and if dog friendly. Brian said both. Starters and main courses absolutely excellent. Nearly too much on plate but just managed. Friendly welcome by host. Well worth the visit. Thanks. PS My wife thought the home made Colesaw was tremendous.

Nice food. Great service. Nice beer garden.

Stopped off here after a long walk. What a lovely surprise. A few of us got some of their lovely cakes. Staff were very friendly. Next time we are hoping to stop for a meal

This was a hidden jem of a pub/eatery the car park was via the main road, the frontage of the building could be accessed by car and then parking which is at the back of the building.As you enter the building to the right is the public lounge and to the left a bar with tables then the main restaurant area. Clean well kept toilets and there is a outdoor area. Delicious food was served by attentitive staff, guests were not hurried and prices for the mouth watering menu were very reasonable. We had a great experience, so catch a bite to eat here before or after Largs or Kilburn Country Park.

For a local pub, with good value grub , good beer and a Landlord who puts his heart and soul into what he does, you can't find better!!

Lovely local pud/restaurant in Fairlie. Nice food/ reasonably priced and pleasant service. Garden tables available if weather pleasant. Fairlie is a lovely village near Largs on the West Coast of Scotland with great walks along the shoreline and beach.

The Cullen skink is best I have ever tasted! Even got a takeaway portion to bring home to my other half!

AMAZING !!! The staff are so attentive and very friendly. The food is fantastic. I had the curry of the day, a lamb curry, which was one of the best I've ever had.This has to be on your intinary I you're ever in the area.

Lovely Beer garden and staff. Food not so good. Chips great. Burger not great at all. For the price I was expecting better. Staff dropped off food and never came back at all to check if it was OK? All 3 meals were poor to average. The steak pie was made with puff pastry and not shortcrust??!! What? Wouldn't go back sorry.

I've been here several times now, and I have to say, the food here is not just the only attraction.That being said, the food is absolutely incredible, albeit a little more expensive than regular "pub grub", it is, by no means, "pub grub". I'd be happy getting a serving of anything I have ordered from here in a large restaurant in a large city, and that would certainly be much more expensive! The food is phenomenal, the menu is constantly changing, the specials are rather magnificent and, really, don't get me started on dessert... There's a genius toiling away in here, I just know it.Speaking of genius, that's the other attraction of this quaint bar/eatery. The owner, Brian, is a fantastic person to talk to, to regal stories of past, present and future ambitions, to lose yourself in a pointless debate where neither party is right or wrong, all to wander away happy, and to sink another drink.I have just moved to Fairlie from living in Millport for far too many years, and while I was trying to find my feet, the owner really made me feel at home. One night, when my girlfriend and I had no microwave, no cooker, no way of heating anything up apart from a kettle, and after around 15 hours of decorating and moving things up 3 flights of stairs, I chanced my luck, and decided to nip in and see if they were still doing food...This was at half 11... The horror I felt when I was told that they weren't, and not for about 3 hours were immeasurable... I know I was chancing it, but I was exhausted, and wanted to eat a warm meal that evening.I was just about to count my losses and return back home, when Brian just asked "what is it you would like?", and my wee heart must've nearly exploded. All I wanted was some chicken and some salad for myself and my girlfriend, and he just kept offering us more and more, but I didn't want to take more than I was initially intending on getting, so I stuck with the chicken and salad, and away he went, fired up the friers once again, and back he came with not one, not two, but three portions of chicken (which I, of course, paid for in full) with the third being given to is in a small takeaway box, loaded with a whole 'extra strip' for us to take back home.This Inn is really rather fantastic, the staff are great. The food is great. The drinks are great. The atmosphere is great.If you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Fairlie, or you're in Largs and you don't mind a quick, 5 minute journey down to the Fairlie seafront, I'd highly recommend visiting The Village Inn.
