What a way to end 2011! The
Daily Record's award-winning 'Restaurant critic of the year' gave the Old Loans Inn “an unbeatable 25/25” after his visit to the Ayrshire venue.
Tam was blown away by the quality of food, service and general all-round welcome he and his guests received at the Old Loans Inn.
“With an unbelievable 25/25, I can promise you it ticked all the boxes...The food (comfort food at it’s very best) was sensational,” were just some of the glowing references from the review (Daily Record, Saturday, December 31).
As the last review of 2011 the SimpsInns venue, on the outskirts of Troon in the village of Loans, is in the hunt for the prestigious “Hot Plate Award”.
In fact in Tam’s words: “Gold, frankincense and myrrh? Listen, at the risk of upsetting the Three Wise Men, the only gift I’ll be carrying the next time I visit the Old Loans Inn will be a big shiny Hot Plate Award.”
Malcolm Simpson, owner of the Old Loans Inn, was delighted with the news: “The Old Loans Inn has long held the reputation as one of the best eating houses around, but to have such an endorsement from the country’s top restaurant critic is fantastic news.”
“It’s a huge team effort, thanks and congratulations must go to everyone involved at the Old Loans Inn.”
All told it has been quite a year for the Old Loans Inn as it was named 2011 Small Hotel of the Year at the Golf Tourism Scotland awards held in St Andrews in November.
