Wheatsheaf Inn - East Ayrshire

Lovely village pub with great menu to cater for all. Seated in the bar area it was clean and welcoming. Great country music playing in the background. Service was polite and professional. The food was pipping hot and fresh. As always a lovely lunch

Recently went to a pre birthday celebration lunch at The Wheatsheaf Inn Symington. What a great experience we had right from the start. We were welcomed at the start and shown to our table. There was a wide choice of items on the menu to suit all of our needs as on this occasion there were some of us in the party with delicate palates. While the décor of the place might be old world the food was not. It was served hot and the quality was first class. Would we return ? Most defiantly !

Have visited on a number of occasions and food was great. Husband always Cullen skink soup. Today it was watery, hardly any potatoes or smoked haddock in it. £7.95 a bowl. Sorry had to complain. I had burger with came with French fries. Felt I was at Burger King. Sorry won’t be back in a hurry x

We hadn’t been to the Wheatsheaf for years but were looking for somewhere for a large family gathering for an anniversary. We were allocated the private room at the back of the restaurant. The staff were friendly, the room was a little chilly but once we were all in there it was soon toasty. The service was decent enough, although my meal took that long some of our party had almost finished theirs. A few of the meals were wrong but in all fairness the food was good. My MIL has booked for us to go back again in a few weeks for a big birthday, except this time she’s been told they can’t guarantee the private room we had before (despite there being no other big bookings at the time of her making the reservation) which I find strange as it was me who booked the previous get together and I was guaranteed the room. I’ll leave a follow up review after our next visit ….

Visited for lunch with family. Waited a while before any staff arrived. Young girl didn't seem to know what she was supposed to do. Good selection on menu but portions were very small for price and we ordered from main menu. Cajun chicken only had a very small piece of chicken on it with a little rice and a tiny tub of salad. Fries were too hard to eat as overcooked. Haggis, heaps and patties although tasted ok were poorly presented, was like someone had built sandcastles with a small pot of haggis, heaps and tatties and just plonked them on the plate. Servers had no concept of space at all when serving and I constantly had plates and behinds in my face when serving our table and the one next to us. Pavlova was rock hard so could only eat a tiny bit of it. We also waited ages for the bill once finished We came away still feeling hungry. Shame as could have been so much better, won't be back anytime soon as very expensive for what we got.
