The Egon Ronay 2006 Guide heaps praise on one particular Scottish Gastropub, The Sorn Inn, Sorn, near Mauchline, East Ayrshire.”

“It is named as the best Gastropub in Scotland.”
THE HERALD

“One establishment highlighted in the Egon Ronay 2006 Guide is the family-run Sorn Inn, in Ayrshire, set up just three years ago, which is the only Gastropub in Scotland to receive a coveted star.”
THE SCOTSMAN

“This was no hastily thrown-together meal. In fact, it was rapidly shaping up to be the complete opposite.  A tour de force.”

“The meal and service have been exemplary.”

“Meet the chef, the boss – and along with those parents, the owner, one Craig Grant.  Proof that when it comes to restaurants, nothing beats the hands-on effect.  I suggest you go try it for yourself.”

“Food – fresh, exquisitely presented, and full of flavour.”

“First rate lunch at the top end of the scale, well worth it.”

“The standards for service have just been raised.”
RON McKENNA – THE HERALD MAGAZINE

“As industry standards rise consistently year on year, standing out from the crowd and winning an award becomes an even greater achievement.

The Sorn Inn is a credit to East Ayrshire.”
LINDA ASTBURY – RAC Hotels Business Manager

“Very smart, though friendly and informal, the beautifully furnished restaurant boasts a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.”

“Truly memorable dishes.”

“In a word, faultless.”

“Take a bow Craig Grant.  What a talented bloke.”

“Fantastic food at generous prices.”
