Mcchristies - East Ayrshire

Recently it went to the mcchristies restaurant in crosshouse to celebrate a birthday, and what a tasty we had from the beginning. we were warmly welcomed and shown on our table. there was a great selection of food on the menu and what we were served more than our taste buds beaten! I would say I would consider this place one of the top dining places in ayrshire. yes will be back!

We were to this place at numerous locations and always enjoyed it. this time eating was as good as usual, but the service was an absolute sweat. we ordered drinks and the bar went over to make them, we could see our drinks together with numerous others sitting on the bar waiting to be taken in tables, but none of the employees seemed to take them, they were much more interested in chatting and looking for phones. our drinks were sitting there for 10 minutes before the girl from behind the bar brought her over. the same thing happened with our food order, the cook pressed the bell 4 times to tell them that the food was ready before another uninterested coworker overflowed with eating. I asked for vinegar for my chips, which lasted another 5 minutes to arrive. we had 1 drink each and one anyway, I would have had more drinks when we were served correctly, but we could not wait to get the place. the whole experience lasted just an hour. hopefully this was a way out because eating was nice and the cook seemed as frustrated as we were with the standard of the service.

Went in to watch the rugby in the bar area and have dinner as a family as we have done numerous times before. We live close by and always enjoyed coming here. Not today!!!! Really angry at the way we were treated. We had already ate a portion of chips and had 2 drinks whilst deciding what we wanted for dinner. Suddenly the manageress appeared and told us we had to leave because we had a child. She said this is not an appropriate place for a child with the rugby on and the pub will be full of men (the pub had around 5-10 customers in at this point). I said surely that 's our decision to look after our own child? But no, she continued to be rude and chuck us out saying its not for children here. We left and will never be back. What a sad experience this was for us and now our local pub is totally ruined!!!! Absolutely shocked as we have sat in the pub a number of times before even once stayed to watch live music in the evening with our child!!!!!! Raging and really not a nice place to go. Should be ashamed of yourself. Children are allowed in pubs until 8pm when eating so what is different here!!

I had the peppered breast of chicken, it was absolutely delightful. My niece had the steak pie delicious. You need to give this restaurant a go. Beautiful Restaurant, thanks for a great lunch. I’ll be back soon.

Food is always good and decent portion size. Very disappointed as the last 3/4 times I have visited it has been freezing inside. Had to sit with my jacket on whilst eating dinner. Very disappointing. Will certainty not be rushing back in colder weather
