On my first visit to Ayrshire, I stayed in Irvine at the Marina View Guest House, and The Ship is…read moreright next door They have a healthy beer & wine menu, but I wanted to try something different and uniquely Scottish. I asked if they had any kind of specialty drink that they did, and he said no and then he paused and he said "well you could do Irn Bru and vodka." So I said "sure, I'll give it a try." The waiter was cool - attentive and friendly. I ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer. They were good. The consistency is a little different than what you would get in the states. I think there was more of whatever the binding agent was (flour and egg?) than the way I've had it back home so it was more cakey and held together better than the way I'm used to which falls apart easily. I had the steak pie which was delicious. The meat was tender and just fell apart. The veggie mix was excellent - carrots, snap peas and maybe parsnips. The snap peas or peas in the pod were absolutely perfectly prepared. They were hot throughout but still were crunchy and slightly sweet. I didn't finish my steak pie only because it was hearty and filling and I wanted to save room for dessert. And oh what a dessert! I hadn't heard of Jaffa cakes, so while I was imagining cake and ice cream like in the states, that was not what arrived! Jaffa cakes are like little wafer cookies with chocolate on one side. It was basically a sundae made with Irn Bru ice cream, chocolate syrup and Jaffa wafer cookies broken and arranged on top. I was the last customer to finish my food and next to last to be rung up. Unfortunately, the machine was having an issue and declining everything. They employed the number one IT recommendation to turn the machine off and turn it back on again. Problem solved, bills paid. I didn't catch the names, but these two who are the closing staff were so good-natured and funny, we were joking around, like we were all old friends! I had a great experience all the way around and highly recommend that you try it out. I look forward to the next time I visit the area and have a meal at The Ship.

The food is accomplished gastropub in style and the staff are a friendly welcoming bunch. We ate from the special lunchtime/early bird menu which was well balanced and reasonably priced, especially when considering the effort that goes into preparing the delectable twice baked cauliflower souffle on beetroot puree with crisp shredded potato. It's small size (big appetites might choose a heartier starter) meant I had room to try all three courses, a rarity for me! The vegetarian option on the set menu was vegetable penne pasta which is a staple in our household. I look forward to trying their other vegetarian offerings. One small issue was that the beef in the casserole still had some of the yucky stuff attached (technical term that!) which required some deft removal with a knife. It was a wee bit offputting but not the end of the world. The beef casserole had been perfectly lean on a previous visit. Our small group positively drooled over dessert. The sticky toffee pudding was a delight as was the creme brulee. We followed with teas and coffees which came with mini homebaked shortbreads. But we weren't finished with eating yet! The bill was accompanied by yet another home-made confection. Black Bull, you really know the way to our hearts. Compliments to the chef! (Special set menu: 2 courses £11.50, 3 courses £14.50)

The Prestwick Pioneer is blazing a trail when it comes to decent pub food in Prestwick…read more Wetherspoons could easily hold this place up as a flagship venue where the focus is definitely on the eating. If you know the Wetherspoons brand you'll know that they pride themselves on well kept cask ales, ciders and other branded alcoholic beverages at unbelievably low prices. Continental cafe-bar in style, the decor is definitely a step upmarket for the brand. Our visit coincided with one of the hottest days of summer but the efficient air conditioning and the floor to ceiling opening windows made it a comfortable place to chill out and eat lunch. I had a vegetarian curry with coconut cream, two papadums, naan bread, mango chutney AND a pint of west country cider for the princely sum of £6.99. What a bargain. I'll definitely check out curry club Thursdays next time I'm in Prestwick. Big thumbs up too for a menu that helps those with dietary requirements choose what to eat, and also makes sure that there is plenty of choice. Stunning value, and an exceptional Wetherspoons. Follow the crowd! PS they have won awards for the loos, and I can see why. They aren't just clean, they are pretty groovy too.

I really thought there wasn't a single free table but at last I spotted one a table for two, just what we needed! As it was so crowded I thought there would be a long wait for food but not so. In fact we were amazed at how quickly it arrived. Everything was, as usual in this Wetherspoon chain, quite delicious and very good value for money. In our book that's a great combination! The bar staff were helpful and pleasant. We won't hesitate to call in there again when we're in Prestwick. The pub opened only this year and is named after David McIntyre, one of Scotland's leading aviation pioneers. He and the Marquis of Clydesdale established a flying school at Prestwick in 1933, which became an important training centre for RAF pilots in the second world war. McIntyre was also involved in the development of Prestwick into an international airport. There are many photos and old advertisements relating to the history of the area, including Woolworths, whose store used to be in this location.
