Would definitely recommend The Fox & Willow for your next dinner night out. Food and drink was fantastic. Great portion sizes and tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend booking a pod to eat your meal. They are a great size, allow dogs in, have a heater and music, and what’s great is that the deposit you pay (£10 per person) gets taken off your final bill. Even though you are outisde the restaurant you are still well taken care of by the staff.

I had a fabulous meal here and the staff were super helpful and thoughtful in helping me surprise my daughter for lunch. They made my first meeting with my daughter’s fiancé and my 4 month old granddaughter a day to remember. Cannot fault anything – the food was superb, the staff brilliant. I will definitely be back.

We were on holiday for my 60th birthday.. We passed this restaurant one evening before my birthday and noticed that there was Domes in the carpark, which were lite up with fairy lights..
My daughter’s managed to book a Dome as a surprise for me, for a birthday meal…
It was a magical experience that everyone enjoyed from my 10week old grandson (loved the twinkly fairy lights) to my 10 Yr old twin grandsons, to my 82nd Yr old mother …
The food was excellent and such a massive choice of menus including Gluten Free/Vegan and children’s menu..
The portion sizes are on the large side (for all menus)

We enjoyed our experience so much we booked 2 days later (to eat in the restaurant) for our 39th wedding anniversary meal.

Both of our experiences were wonderful and the Staff went above and beyond on both occasions…

Every person in my group would highly recommend this venue especially if you are looking for something special (or even just for a meal)..

The cost is very reasonable especially for the quality of the meals and the quantity..

If you are in Ayr, I definitely recommend that you give The Fox & Willow a try.. you won’t be disappointed ☺️..

We had a dome for a family dinner. Lovely atmosphere, comfy seating. Service was excellent, from food and bar service. Friendly and very efficient throughout our dining. Prices were great for a 2 course meal, kids meals were great quality also. The kids loved the wee frying pans of gravy too. We had starters x7 , the chicken and chorizo lasagne, fajitas, cajun chicken, crepes, bangers and mash, roast chicken, cocktails, soft drinks and mocktails, and for 8 of us it was less than £200! Can highly recommend. We went at 5pm to dine and had the choice of menus and lots of gluten free options too. Kids ‘picky plates’ were also a winner.

AWESOME PLACE

I visited with my family 12/02/2025
We had a pod which was warm considering it was 3 degrees outside.

Food was superb and presented very well.
We all had 3 courses with a little food switching.
My favourites were :-
Teriyaki beef spring rolls
Meat balls
Fillet steak
Sea Bass
All deserts tried were fantastic also.

Service was great also so I can thoroughly recommend The Fox and Willow.

I will definitely be back

Booked a dome for a birthday party and thoroughly enjoyed the privacy, food and servoce. Just remember to make sure the booking deposit is subtracted from you bill before you leave. We forgot, but informed them and they were quick to fix the issue. Would definately go there again.

Family gathering and this is a very special place. I just love it.
The selection of food is fantastic. Cocktails and Mocktails are lovely.
Attention to detail is superb.
With a Vegan menu,that has a great choice. What is not to love about this place
The service is second to none. Fast, friendly and very efficient.
The Fox and Willow has outside pods, bar that has a roaring fire . This is dog friendly.
Main dinning areas and private dinning. It caters to everyone.
Will have to work my way through the menu. Then onto the Vegan one. The vegan desserts are delicious.

Would just like to say how good Lauren was, serving us for cocktails,
at our table. Friendly, prompt, attentive service. Her customer service talents are wasted here, and would be more beneficial at somewhere that has somewhat less moody, and less judgementa,l management ….that we encountered on the way in.
(It seems PJ was right, to leave when he did!!)

Went for a fabulous meal Wednesday 28th January, as it was my Birthday. It was fantastic in every way. Food/ service/ staff were very nice indeed. There was 3 of us & my Border terrier Charlie We was all very happy with our meals. My dessert was brought out with a flashing sparkler & happy birthday iced on my plate. Thankyou to the Chef, barman. & waiting on. We have been many times before, but this was by far the best . Fox & Willow have really turned it around. Thankyou. will be back. Highly Recommend
