The Fairburn - East Ayrshire

Very enjoyable return visit, with great food. The tatty scone nachos was excellent and perfectly complemented the steak pie. Service was quite slow and drinks were quite expensive.

Went for lunch on a Tuesday with my sisters,one of whom had a voucher ,given as a present . The hotel was very clean and staff welcoming. Our meal was cooked to order and we all enjoyed the fresh vegetables which came with our meal. Best meal out that I have had for some time and have no bother recommending this restaurant.

We had an itison voucher for the fairburn hotel and as we had been previously and enjoyed it, we were looking forward to it. On arrival we were waiting ages to be seated as it was very busy, then it took 3 attempts for the waiter to bring us the correct drink order but to be fair we think he was new and didn't have a clue what to do. The food took ages to arrive at our table but it was busy. The choice on the menu was very good, not much difference from the normal menu. The katsu curry came with spicy nan, which we thought was a weird combination as you would expect prawn crackers? The combination just didn't work well, far too spicy and a very small slice of nan and katsu curry was far too sweet. It was alright but not the best katsu curry we have had!

Booked afternoon tea for 4 and must say, first class service from all the staff, and excellent value for £11.50 a head, all food on each platter (2) was superb with 4 sandwiches, 4 scones, 4 full size cakes, fudge, jam, cream and unlimited tea or coffee, in excellent surroundings, would definitely recommend, even the main meals being served looked amazing, will definitely be back to sample, again Thank You for a wonderful time.

Great food, charming staff and good atmosphere, no hassles when I asked for a few changes to my meal, definitely recommend this restaurant
