Headed to Craig Tara for a week soon with the kids. Also f**k Kilmarnock. Thank you. Dundee fan living in Ayr. For eating in, I like The Fox and the Willow, @home Thai, Ayr India. Willie Wastles is decent for cheapish food and Tempura is good. Plenty takeaways around the place as others have mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 There are also some decent Indian restaurants in the town. Ayr India isn't bad and The 3 Idiots is very good. Not so sure about the Ruppee Room these days. For Italian food Cecchini's is the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 37 minutes ago, North British said: Ayr is not as bad as some people make out , coming into Doonfoot from Craig Tara you have a couple of good takeaways at the Co op on your left , chippy/pizza and Indian , both decent . Next up a few hundred metres is the Balgarth Pines , great beer garden, good food . On the bridge just along the road is the Secret Garden , good snacks and lunches , got a cracking deck over the River Doon . Push on about a mile and you have the Chestnuts Hotel , very good food and beer garden , few hundred metres from Ayr Beach . Nearby The Chestnuts is the Fox and Willow , great food , best beer garden in town Very unusual that the stretch between where all the rich people stay and the completely dead town centre is still nice. I am very smart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was brilliant until they got rid of all the fun things about it and then it was just another pool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Mind that time Ayr were denied permission for a new stadium with adjacent shopping centre because it would take business away from the town centre? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the leisure centre was to be where Hourstons and the Arran Mall was, previous regime punted all the tennants out of Arran Mall so it's now empty too. The Kyle Centre was supposed to be run by a private company but no doubt that'll have gone pear shaped with the financial situation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 See, having a leisure centre, cinema and food outlets in the High Street would have been a fantastic idea.

As you say the developments will probably never happen with the Kyle Centre now either so you’re left with two huge spaces being used as nothing. Couldn’t even tell you the last time I used the Arran Mall as anything else other than using it to cut onto the high street from that car park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think the issue with the town centre leisure centre was that they were basically proposing to build a much shitter version of the citadel, with far less facilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicked into touch by a Rangers daft leader of the council, worryingly we now have a Rangers/Stranraer supporting Tory Council leader, who's Scottish born and bred son kicks about in an England top, let's hope our beloved local Scottish, non bigot club doesn't suffer as before.......if they do Bob Shields should hang his head in shame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 As much as love the look of the old Cinema in Ayr its best days are years behind it, a new state of the art lux one would being money and folk into the town center and save me from going to Glasgow every time Marvel bring out a new film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
