Hotel & Restaurant
The Park Hotel, 2 Dundonald Pl, Kilmarnock KA1 1UR
Based in the heart of Kilmarnock, The Park Hotel offers a superior range of dining options for residents and non-residents alike. With formal dining on offer at the Blues – at the park – restaurant (including private dining rooms) and more casual food available in the newly refurbished Pavilion – at the park – bar and coffee shop, the hotel caters for a wide range of tastes and occasions within a contemporary setting.
A team of award-winning chefs, keen to showcase the abundant produce from the Ayrshire region, is behind the menu which delights guests in search of a taste of Scotland. In addition to weddings, conferences, golf tours, private parties and business meetings which take place all year round, the kitchen maintains the quality and attention to detail you’d expect from a four-star venue whether catering for a large banquet or an intimate dinner for two.
The Blues – at the park – restaurant offers a comprehensive choice of popular starters focused on key fresh ingredients, for example, the North Atlantic prawns served with a fine bean and new potato salad, gem lettuce, buffalo mayo and sea-salt croutons. Mains such as the best-selling Cajun dusted breast of British chicken served with steamed basmati rice or skinny fries, a crisp side salad and a curried coconut emulsion similarly highlight the flair for well-balanced flavours in the kitchen. Burgers, tempura, steaks, and a host of classics with all the sides and sauces you could wish for are made fresh to order and if there’s space you might want to indulge in something sweet such as the ‘Mango Mess,’ a mouth-watering combination of mango compote, meringues, Chantilly cream and coconut ice-cream.
For something on the lighter side, the Pavilion – at the park – bar and coffee shop is where you’ll find sandwiches, toasties, paninis and baked potatoes (standard or premium fillings) alongside salads, loaded fries and some comforting home-made soup. Cakes and freshly baked scones are also available to enjoy with a specialty tea or coffee. Alternatively, if it’s a quiet corner and a glass of G and T you’re looking for you’ll find it there too; there are over fifty specialty gins on the menu and an impressive list of wines, craft beers, cocktails and so on. The choice is endless and with the Pavilion being open from 9am to 11pm (1am on Fridays and Saturdays) it’s the perfect place to relax with friends and enjoy good food and drinks as you while away the time.
