Sorn Inn - Mauchline

First booked the Sorn Inn for an anniversary meal for 17 people and everyone (including children) loved the food. Have been twice more and will be back for the new set menu on Wednesday. Fantastic food and our host David was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Chef's menus are fine dining but at reasonable prices. Certainly our new place to eat out. Thanks David.

Dog friendly and great food. Proprietor welcoming and friendly, made us feel comfortable and the chef dished up smashing food. Definitely recommend.

Booked as a surprise for my husband, while staying locally for a couple of days. The place looks very much like a 'normal ' village pub from the outside, but the menu is definitely fine dining. We were the last table of the day, but the service was friendly and unhurried, and the (newly launched) tasting menu was excellent, very well thought out with varied ingredients, and also generous portions for this style of presentation. Waitress and barman were attentive and keen to explain the menu and drinks, and the chef was even kind enough to come out and chat for a little while afterwards, despite it being the end of service on a Sunday.

Chilled evening of fine dining in the expert hands of our host and his wonderful chef . Great menu and good selection of wine. If this was in our neighbourhood , would be our favourite place to eat . Hope we return some day . Tony, Oonagh Amélie

Delicious food; out of the ordinary and yet completely authentic. A really friendly atmosphere to boot. I’d recommend the Stovies. Stop looking at reviews and get this booked now!
