Having visited now for the third time, I still wasn't overly impressed with this place especially for the price they charge and they clearly aren't taking notice of any feedback from reviews, as I can see many other people agree with me. We weren't greeted with a warm welcome to say the least... The domes are beautiful and very comfortable, the menu is really the same as it has always been, although they do now offer a set menu deal which is an improvement. The food is nice enough but certainly not worth the price tag, portions aren't huge and definitely not filling, I'm not a big eater and I was still hungry after 2 courses. I ordered the same as I usually do and the food wasnt the same as before, the cajun chicken was covered in curry sauce, not cajun sauce, the rice was hard and the food wasn't very warm, even my tempura starter was luke warm. The steak pie was tiny with hardly any veg. It's definitely more about presentation than a filling meal. Service wasn't the best either, as usual, no smile from staff, no chat, it's as if they don't want to be there and then they add a 8% charge on top of your bill, for just basic service. The food and service really need to improve to make this place as good as it should be. It's definitely overpriced for what you pay for!

Great. Lovely experience apart from the puff pastry on the steak pie! Otherwise, really nice place. Good food; lovely service; mellow ambience. Interesting artwork. Ayr itself historically very interesting. ❤ Robert Burns.

Went for afternoon tea and it was fantastic! The food was amazing all thr right temperature and the taste was fab. The size of the afternoon was well worth it the value for money was amazing. Service was great, the staff were friendly and warm and we loved the offered donation to the Ayrshire Hospice. Would recommend to anyone 10/10

Lovely place to visit with the family. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. I particularly liked the dome. It was cosy and picturesque. The food presentational was 👌 with much attention paid to detail. The steak was cooked to request, and simply delicious. I would definitely recommend if in Ayr or environs.

Excellent staff and food with a lovely location and dog friendly. The pods outside under the stars where perfect. We where only visiting the area for 4 days and we went there on the first day and again on the last day due to how fantastic the food and people were.

Took my partner for a birthday lunch . Waited awhile at reception area met . There was not a very welcoming greeting.. We were shown to our seat and left .It was awhile before someone took orders for drinks and meals . People who arrived after us were asked about what they wanted to eat before us . My meal was a Cajun chicken pasta . Chicken was tough and taste was bland . Was told money would be refunded for my meal. This was left in the hands of a junior staff member of staff whereas it should have been management informing us. The places are it was not over busy as they had plenty of time standing at bar area chatting . Other people beside us felt the same with their meals too.I was disappointed as a family member had recommended it . It may have been an off day but the experience has put me off going back ..

Great menu, kids friendly, great décor, great portion sizes. One meal didn't come out as expected. Response from staff was professional and discreet- and meal was still enjoyed. We will be back!

Had a meal at the Fox and Willow, it was fairly busy but the service was still excellent. We had the festive menu, and it was all gorgeous...! Would definitely recommend to anyone, there were families, couples and people out on their Christmas work nights out.. Just a great atmosphere. 🎄🎁🤶🏻🎅🏻

Went here for dinner with my good lady for a rare meal out due to the current economy. How this place is still legally running is beyond me I could swear I seen a rat the size of a Rottweiler near the bin I’m glad I had my walking stick with built in draw sword to fend off the beast. Anyway dinner I genuinely believe that front line North Korean conscripts on freezing plains of the Kursk oblast. Have better food and better conditions. A good vet could have brought my burger back to life unbearable to get the attention of the staff for a drink I had basically stand in my table and scream not joking and my wife’s meal I presume is still cooking now. We just got up and left just don’t bother spend your economy tokens on a better establishment.
