Taylors - North Ayrshire

Our experience at this restaurant was terrible. The establishment also functions as a bar/nightclub. The noise in our room was intolerable, leading us to leave. Despite being assured a refund, we did not receive one, and our attempts to contact them have been ignored. The atmosphere of the place felt incredibly unsafe, and I have no intention of ever returning.

I was shocked when they informed me that I had to buy my own shower gel, which has never happened to me at any other place. The bedding was dirty with blood stains on the sheets. However, the food was good and the atmosphere in the bar was great. This visit occurred shortly after the smoking ban was introduced in Scotland in 2006. I wonder if things have improved in the 14 years since then. To be honest, Kilwinning is not the most pleasant town in Scotland. For a more serene experience, I suggest trying Arran.

Excellent food, friendly bubbly service, something for everyone on the ample menu, good portion sizes with food and drinks priced fairly. Better than the Corner House IMO

Took forever to get a drinks order then forever to get a food order. Then forever to get more drinks orders. Had to go searching for staff to order. Place wasn't even busy so no excuse. Food was ok although saute potatoes were missing from steak pie and a quarter onion and two slices of corgette is hardly a portion of veg.

I was in with family for a birthday dinner, food was lovely, pity the same can't be said about the table service, had to ask three times for ordered drinks, spoons were flung down with no napkins. My mum was back in on Friday and the table service was worse, took ages to get served no spoon was given for soup, then had to ask for a fork for the main. The restaurant wasn't busy as we were the only people in, but staff said they were run off their feet. Shocking service!! Food was good though.
