THE BUSINESS
Souter’s Inn was established by our clients in 2007 after purchasing The Shanter Hotel and undertaking an extensive refurbishment. The premises were completely refurbished again in 2012 and our clients are continually investing in the business. The business is therefore extremely well established in the area and is something of an Ayrshire institution and benefits from its strong historic links to Robert Burns.
The business prides itself on providing culinary excellence mixed with country hospitality, and all the food is freshly made on the premises, showcasing the best local produce, as well as producing their own ice cream, chocolate and bakery products.
The business trades 7 days a week, 9am-8:30pm, offering an excellent breakfast menu, an extensive a la carte menu with a Scottish/Gastropub style, a kids menu, as well as a broad wine list and drinks selection.
The business enjoys an excellent reputation and has a loyal and regular clientele from the village and surrounding towns and villages, but benefits hugely from the high volumes of tourists and day trippers including golfers, Turnberry Hotel residents as well as the high levels of travellers from the Irish Ferry.
