Sausage rolls! Potato Scones! Bakery delights!…read more Now this is a *proper* bakery, none of your pre-made sandwich pish here (excuse the Scots). Wooley's is a charming bakery in Brodick which is well worth a visit even if you are meant to be avoiding gluten (woops). We popped in a couple of times - first of all on Friday for a snack where we got a sausage roll and chicken pie to takeaway. The sausage roll was HEAVEN. A proper, old-school sausage roll with delicious buttery flaky pastry and a lovely filling. Didn't even need tomato sauce, that's how good it was. We came back on the Monday before we left Arran to get some potato scones as we'd been having them every day as part of our hotel breakfast. They were absolutely delicious! Thicker than the usual ones and really tasty. I'd consider going to Arran just go to this bakery. It was that good.

We were staying at the Douglas Hotel (so you can read my other review for the accommodation side of…read morethings) and ate in the bistro on the Friday night. The bistro is modern and the menu sounded delicious - I had a lot of trouble choosing what to have! I had the scallops to start with ham hough which was lovely - it had a nice cream sauce and the scallops were perfectly cooked. It was lacking seasoning though so slightly on the bland side. This was actually something I noticed in nearly everything I ate at The Douglas so perhaps worth noting! For main I had the crab crusted sea bass (I think!) which again, was lovely but I couldn't quite taste the crab. It was a generous portion and came with mashed potato and grilled fennel. Graeme got ice cream for dessert - I tried a tiny bit and totally loved the chocolate ice cream which was rich and decadent. As I mentioned in the review of the hotel, service was a little haphazard and disorganised. The staff are quite young though, so I think that might be why. We ordered a bottle of wine which was forgotten about, and when we mentioned it they told us they didn't sell that kind of wine even though it was on the wine list. It was just a misunderstanding but meant we didn't get the wine til we were having our mains. There's a different menu available if you eat in the bar area which is also quite nice - I tried the pulled chicken burger on the Monday for lunch and really liked it. I would say overall the prices in Arran are a bit more expensive than what you'd pay in Glasgow but I still really liked it here and would eat in the bistro and bar again when we return.

We held our rehearsal dinner here at The Douglas Hotel the night before our wedding and I don't…read morethink we could've picked a more perfect spot for this special occasion. The Douglas Hotel is beautiful and the Bar and Bistro area is no exception. Being from the US, I was able to work with the staff via email to get everything set up ahead of time. We had a few bumps at the beginning of the planning but they went and above and beyond to make sure they could accommodate us and when we arrived everything was even better than I imagined. Once our party of 18 arrived we were led into the beautiful dining area where our champagne was ready and waiting to kick things off. For the menu, my husband and I were given several menus that the chef had already created and from that we were able to create our very own custom menu. I tried each dish that night and they were all delicious and our family was very impressed. The servers were great-very attentive and so friendly. The location is very convenient, right across from the ferry terminal in Brodick, you can't miss the beautiful building! We had some great views from our tables and it looked like the outdoor patio and the bar were popular places to be. Our family had a great night and everyone agreed that The Douglas Hotel is a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion.

The staff greeted us warmly and invited us in to their warm and cozy establishment. This is small town Scotland at its best. I was surprised at the worldliness of the Salt and Pepper Asian-style fries on the Daily Specials board. They were amazing as was my "Hybrid Toastie" - essentially a Scottish patty melt. Not that it was mundane in any sense. It was delicious! I washed these down with a Diet Irn Bru - the guilt-free version of Scotland's most popular soda. Once again - another great meal with friendly service. Nowhere close to Edinburgh, yet still with that flair of sophistication mixed with small-town civility.

My husband got the eggs Benedict and he was pleased it had black pudding in the middle, very Scottish food of course. He did not care for the hollandaise sauce as it had a sweetness to it. I wasn't super hungry as I was saving room for our lunch at 1pm. I got two poached eggs and toast. The poached eggs were a bit runny for my liking. Overall though this is a great cafe and I like the layout. The service was very friendly. They were setting up a bunch of reserved tables for what looked like a fancy lunch. Lot of people were working there at the time and I assume prepping for a big party.

I can't recommend the Stage Door highly enough, particularly for those needing gluten-free options…read more It is my favorite place in Ayr to dine. From an American's perspective that has been staying in Ayr on business travel 10 weeks now, eating every meal out, and following a gluten-free diet I have chosen to eat at the Stage Door more times than any other restaurant. Not only are most of the options able to be made gluten-free, they are delicious and beautifully presented. The Stage Door offers great value for your money. I have not found this level of food quality for the money anywhere else. The menu offers a great variety of options in protein choices and has elements from several types of cuisine to make everyone happy. The 2 courses for £10 menu is a steal with a better variety of healthy options (most gluten-free) than any other menu of similar type I have seen in the area. The service is friendly and solid. They are open everyday of the week. The Stage Door is right off High street (inside the Gaiety Theater) so it is a great place to take a break from shopping or wrap up your day with dinner. On that same note, be aware that all surrounding parking areas are pay lots, so you will need some pound coins on-hand. Give the Stage Door a try. Tell the chef the resident American, Charity, sent you. Happy, Healthy Dining!

It was dimly lit and quiet. Breakfast was cheap. The service was exceptional. This is where I sampled a full Irish breakfast. Bacon, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs, black pudding and bread. I dreaded trying the black pudding because it is made with cooked and congealed blood from cattle or pigs. For me at least the thought of eating congealed blood was unappealing but I wanted to at least try it. It's been a breakfast staple for the Irish and the British for many years. It taste like a normal sausage to me. Our lattes were delicious. The pancakes were good but tough and the french toast was basic. Their bacon is very meaty and tasty. The eggs were cooked perfectly.

Saturdays are really busy so was glad I decided last minute to book a table. The menu is filled with sandwiches, bagels, paninis etc and all come with soup for £5.95 which is a bargain when you see the portions. However the most popular order seemed to be the high tea for two, which at £5 per person is amazing! The atmosphere is lovely, with a mix of couple, familes and quite a few grannies being treated to tea and cakes by their grandkids. The decor is nothing fancy, but the setting and welcoming staff easily makes up for it There is fabulous selection of Suki teas and homemade baking. Soups of the day this week were tomato with basil and potato and leek. Last wee I tried the curried butternut squash which was amazing! The setting is lovely and the food is well worth the 15min drive from Dennistoun. There is a garden centre and lovely views onto the loch so you could easily spend a few hours over a coffee, chatting and escaping city life. I can't speak highly enough of this place and look forward to making myself a regular! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tea-House-On-The-Loch/141357772588944?fref=ts

My wife had the fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy, cheesy, served over toast with bacon and hash browns. This is something she gets often, and she has had none better than the ones here. The service was excellent. It's not the biggest restaurant, but the tables seem to move fairly quickly, and they have outdoor seating on warmer days.
