Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for proper pub grub, with scampi, chips and peas singled out as hot and tasty with good portions, and lasagne with chips and peas close behind. One visitor recommends the steak pie, and another says the chef made the food to order and tweaked the menu for dietary requirements. Prices are described as reasonable, and one reviewer calls the food surprisingly good given how few options Maybole has. Beyond the kitchen, the pub is described as a decent Scottish local with a core of regulars at the bar, one good real ale, cold beers, and a landlord who was reticent at first but very friendly once the chat started. The atmosphere is called calm and chatty by one reviewer and one of the happiest places visited by another, though that visitor also found it packed and noisy with nowhere to sit at first. Several dog owners report their pets were welcome, and one describes treats and fresh water for their wee dog.

“Owner is a great guy and the food was surprisingly good. There's not a lot of options in Maybole and this one is likely the best. We really enjoyed ourselves.”

“Friendly pub with a good atmosphere, good pint, excellent food at reasonable prices and exceptional staff. Our wee dog was made just as welcome with treats and fresh water. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 …”
- Matt Salmon
“Well worth a visit to see a decent Scottish pub. When we no visited there was a core of locals at the bar and seated at the tables. A decent range of drinks, with one good real ale, a bit of a rarity in these parts. The landlord was a quintessential old school landlord. A little reticent at first but then very friendly and welcoming as soon as we got chatting. If you are used to flashy, busy modern city pubs then this is quite different and worth a visit.”
