The Salt Cot seems to be the main watering hole of Saltcoats locals - there was a queue for the bar at 3 on a Friday afternoon! But I don't blame people for wanting to treat themselves to an end of the week drink or two. This is a Wetherspoons pub, and like most pubs from this chain it lacks background music or ambience. What it lacks for in atmosphere is made up for in value for money - it's between two and three pounds for a vast number of beers and spirits, including bottled drinks like Magners and fancy ales. There's a wide variety of the latter, including Moondance, ale staple Deuchars, and some Newcastle Brown in a bottle. They also do the usual brand of cheap Wetherspoon's food. Staff were helpful and refreshnigly friendly when we visited. The Wetherspoons pubs always seem to be housed in gorgeous buildings, and this is no expection - this bar has an unfathomably high ceiling, an art deco exterior and is plastered in old black and white pictures of Saltcoats and its surrounding towns. It seems to have the magnetic pulling power compared to local pubs and is pleasant to sit in with its vast space, comfy couches and bay windows. However, it is still Wetherspoons, so if you're looking for a bar with a bit more local flavour you may be as well to try other bars along the main street. Saying that, it was easy to make ourselves at home here and in an economy pub chain like this you can afford to have a few without unnecessarily breaking the bank. read more

There is nothing special about this venue Food is of decent quality and very cheap so I guess that's a plus Beer is OK the pipes seemed a little dirty to the taste on one visit but another it seemed fine Locals of varied ages littered around the bar Nothing bad but nothing stand out, certainly nothing that will keep me from popping in again read more

We really like this branch of the Wetherspoon chain. The few times we've been there recently it hasn't been too crowded and it's a nice peaceful place to have a meal. The menu is varied and there are special offers on meals including drinks, especially on Tuesdays (steak day), Thursdays (curry club) and Sunday (roast). We particularly like the vegetarian dishes on offer. My only gripe is that twice at this Wetherspoon they have been out of the vegetarian roast. Hopefully they'll have it the next time we're there! The staff are warm and friendly and eager to please. You can usually find a parking place either just outside or nearby. read more

Cheap food, cheap drinks. Servers don't seem to have a clue what's going on. Tried to order 3 times off the menu and they were out of everything, asked a different server and she said they had everything.... read more
