The Stags Pavilion — Restaurant in Scotland

The Stags Pavilion has been booked solid, but due to a cancelation I and my SO were able to reserve a table. During this trip to the Isle of Arran, I was able to try venison for my first and second time. My second being at the Stags Pavilion. It started slightly warm and chewy, though my second bite was cold. The meat was clearly cooked all the way through. This leads me to believe it was cooked beforehand and reheated. My SO's lamb dish was even colder. The staff said they would bring us a brand new dish. My SO's dish sadly was a little too fatty. I still believe that the venison was reheated as there was a charred part that I normally see with reheated food. This experience was more disappointing as my first time consuming venison was delicious (different restaurant). Neither of us finished our food. The meals were not worth...

This is a lovely little restaurant full of quaint things to look at...gives it a cottage type feel. The outside dies not reflect the holiness within. The choice of menu is excellent and the food tastes wonderful. Considering how good it was I was shocked when I got the bill....it is VERY reasonably priced indeed. It's also BYOB which is nice and they dont charge corkage. The staff are very welcoming. I will definitely be going back. But you have to book well in advance. Its understandably busy. Thoroughly...

Booked based on lots of positive reviews but didn’t find it as good. I had the lamb which had been slow cooked and (I would say) reheated, which came with peas which were almost brown, and very soft veg partly covered in some kind of white sauce. My parents found their meals a bit oily and bland. Puddings were microwaved and my bread and butter pudding was completely soft and dripping with fat as a result - none of the oven crust you’d expect. Service was friendly but overall there are better...
