Where can I start,…read more What a fantastic wee place right in the heart of the Ayrshire valley, this place has just been taken over and given the much needed revamp it deserved. With fantastic decor,food and amazing prices. Best bit of advice I can give is if your heading in for food is get there and get your order in early, the food is all FRESH and made to order by the inhouse chef. it's always busy busy at the weekend so there can be a bit of a wait for the food to come out but when it does you won't be disappointed. There is a wide range of entertainment on at the weekend too with local live music and many different event nights. With freshly made food,cheap beer fantastic staff and live entertainment there no where else I would recommend in the whole of the valley.

Weekends There is always some form of entertainment on from quiz nights to karaoke and even for a quiz night love been here and there only being two in the bar but l recon this is more of a sports bar with all the unusual items plastered on the walls and ceilings mainly from golf. Drinks Aren't always the same here they change the selection quite often but I'm not sure if that's a good thing, they used to have west on tap but then discontinued soon after. This has to be one of the better bars in the area you can have a few drinks here and not have any hassle.

A five-star view, with caveats…read more First off the Drift Inn is without a doubt the best place to eat and drink in Lamlash. We've tried the competition and frankly the Drift has the best beer and Scotch selection, food, and atmosphere. Inside it's a restaurant, outside it's a country pub with lots of well-spaced outdoor seating. It has the basics food-wise down pat. Huge fish and chips and excellent mussels - in the latter case just the right size between tasty and chewy. A great wine and beer selection and excellent service. The one down side was an overly-promised starter. Spending 15 quid on a few tiny bits of food artfully arranged stuck in the craw somewhat. But what the hell, they're nice people and the rest of it was superb.

I loved this pub and the food was probably the best we had on Arran. I actually didn't know about…read morethis place until the day before we left to go to Arran when I had 4 different people recommend it to me - I knew we had to go from that fact alone! It's in the lovely town of Lamlash and really easy to find. We parked along the road and then walked down as we were there quite early and it didn't open til midday. There's a beautiful view over the water to Holy Isle and you can get a ferry over if you're so inclined - we decided to just appreciate it from afar. The pub itself is kind of nautical/rugby themed and really cosy inside - there's a fireplace and lots of seating as well as some couches and a kids area. I ordered a bowl of Cullen Skink (Scottish haddock soup) as well as the Angler's Platter for one (Creeler's hot and cold smoked salmon, seafood and soft cheese mousse, fishcake and homemade bread). The soup was just delicious - I don't eat Cullen Skink enough and when I have one as good as this, I wonder why - thick, jam packed with fish and really tasty. I loved the platter too - the fish cake was the highlight for sure, but everything on it was so tasty and I loved how local it all was. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed grazing here for a while. They have a great booze selection but as I was driving I didn't have any - next time we visit I would definitely see about getting the bus or a taxi here from Brodick so we could get stuck into the gin! Note: they have gluten free bread, breadcumb and batters are available upon request.
