Very average vegan/veggie food, too expensive! - Edit
The food was very average with meat-alternatives such as vegan haggis and Linda McCartney sausages on the breakfast. Restaurant didn’t feel inviting for lunch and the food was exceptionally expensive for the quality. There are much better options in Lamlash!

Disappointing - Edit
Had an evening meal here last weekend, there were 2 vegan options and unfortunately I chose the wrong one. I went for the burger (beyond burger possibly) and was asked if I wanted it fully vegan. I did but sadly this meant a dry roll, no sauces or cheese or anything moist! An expensive mistake for something I could have made at home (although not as badly). The only saving grace was the home made onion rings on the side which were good. Average pub grub style and for non vegans it seems good but I would advise going to the Drift Inn just along the road for really good food.

It was fine. - Edit
We came here because it looked like the nicest place on the island with the most vegan options.
Read moreI had the haggis bonbons to start, they are marked as vegan on the menu but apparently the peppercorn sauce isn't. I HATE this. Mark it as 'vegan available' then, so many places do this and I then lose all confidence that what I'm eating will actually be vegan. They were nice albeit a litte dry.
I had the moving mountains burger for main, it said it was supposed to come with a burger sauce but it didn't so it was a bit bland and nothing more than a burger I could have at home.
Staff weren't great, our food was rushed so we'd finished within 40 minutes of arriving and then ignored for the next hour.
We had planned to go back the next day to try the other vegan options but cancelled and will find somewhere else. Give it a go, maybe they just had a bad night?
Pros: Nice place with good atmosphere, Lots of dogs/dog friendly
Cons: Food didn't come with items listed on menu, Some tables were weirdly low

Good vegan food options, selection of vegan wines - Edit
We went twice in the week we stayed here, first for drinks and then for food. I had the vegan Cornish pasty with chips and beans which was really nice. The pasty seems to be made by Proper Cornish. My dad had the burger which he said was good and my mum had the shakshuka without egg which was quite small for the price.
Read moreThey had a list of 5 or so vegan wines which is unusual for somewhere like this but great. Plenty of good non-alcoholic options like kombucha and fancy juices.
Pros: Decent vegan food options, Vegan wine
Cons: No vegan cask ale when I went , A bit pricey

Lots of choice for a seaside pub - Edit
Lots of vegan options, one item on the menu was advertised as vegan but when I went to order they informed me it was a mistake. We got the burger and it was delicious! Surprised that there was lots of choice.

Great food! Beautiful location. - Edit
I visited Pierhead Tavern whilst on holiday with my husband. We both had the vegan fish n chips and Jam Sponge.

I would like to see more vegan options but due to COVID-19, they were on a limited menu.
The staff were lovely and pointed out all of our options.
The Tavern is located on the beach side with lovely views.
Pros: Lovely food, Lovely staff, Beautiful location
Cons: Pricey, Few vegan options, No plant milk for tea or coffee

Great vegan options in a relaxed atmosphere - Edit
This is a pub with a very relaxed atmosphere. It was full when we arrived, so we ordered a drink at the bar, but had to wait for only 5 minutes before we were shown to a free table.
Read moreAs they had a very busy weekend (bank holiday), they had run out of the portobello, red onion and avocado burger, so we ordered a haggis burger (which is also vegan) and Moroccan tagine instead, and soup of the day as a starter. The food was very tasty and filling, but it's a pity they can't do a vegan coleslaw, which isn't more complicated than the non-vegan version (vegan mayo is available in every supermarket nowadays).
The staff was very helpful and friendly, we very much enjoyed our stay here.
We'll definitely go back the next time we visit Arran.

Great vegan options in Arran - Edit
Had a three course meal here recently which was from a vegan menu which they had put on for the night. They are hoping to have more vegan friendly nights, and are also working towards putting some of the vegan options on their main menu.
Read moreHad the red onion and thyme soup, cauliflower steak, and the lime, pistachio and vanilla cheesecake. All were tasty and filling and the cheesecake in particular was amazing.
Will definitely go back again when returning to Arran.
