Good Points: Visited 26 Sep 2007 Lovely setting and ambient surroundings
General comments: I thought the food was very disappointing considering the seemingly fine dining restaurant prices. Felt the menu was far too extensive and was disappointed with freshness, quality of prep and presentation. I think listing hot beverages served with a mint is ridiculous and they couldn't even seem to get this right!
King prawn and scallop spaghetti with chilis and cherry tomatoes....
Luke warm overcooked spaghetti smothered in what tasted like acidic tinned tomato sauce. No hint of chilli (despite waiter forewarning that the dish is very spicy...which I wanted it to be). Three watery scallops and three tasteless prawns presented like a tin of Heinz spaghetti in a microwaveable bowl accompanied by some limp undercooked garlic bread! Cost £15.95!
Malaysian Chicken....
Consisted of flavourless overcooked (and dry) pieces of prepared chicken that appeared to have been reheated with lack lustre korma-esque sauce accompanied by unseasoned timbale of rice and naan. Again did not deliver on presentation or taste in my opinion. Cost £14.95!
With desserts priced from £6.50 this restaurant no way of redeeming itself for me.

My two sisters and myself took my mother to the Hungry Monk at Lochwinnoch for her 75th Birthday.

When it arrived it was a tiny piece of chicken placed on top of an even tinier portion of Haggis and finished with a very thick cream sauce. Not worth the m ...

We decided on the Hungry Monk, Lochwinnoch to celebrate an important birthday for my Mum and were really disappointed in the food and the service. I felt the food was overcooked and tasteless and the reaction to our complaint by a member of staff was that they would pass on our comments. The service seemed very slow and some of the staff did not appear too interested.
it was my first visit and will most certainly be my last.

We arrived at The Hungry Monk in Lochwinnoch on a sunny Saturday afternoon and wanted to sit on the huge patio which was nearly empty. I went inside to order some drinks. First problem, took ages only one very young barman trying to cope with the queue some of whom were trying to pay bills, some trying to order food and some just trying to get a drink. Finally got served, asked for menu, said we were outside. Only serve sandwiches and soup outside. Chose sandwiches, had to stand in another lar ...
