Autumn Flavours Arrive In Ayrshire

Popular Ayrshire restaurant and bar, Vic’s & The Vine, has unveiled its new autumn menu this week, with a collection of hearty dishes and bold flavours designed to celebrate the best of the season.

Owned by award-winning hospitality brand, Buzzworks, the talented kitchen team at The Vine has drawn inspiration from seasonal produce and classic comforts with a modern twist to craft an array of tempting dishes, from Asian-inspired plates and speciality sharing boards to indulgent favourites, steaks, and more from the showstopping Robata and rotisserie grill.

Among the new highlights at The Vine are the chorizo and Manchego tostada starter, featuring glazed Manchego, pinto bean and a vibrant chilli and avocado salsa, as well as an indulgent slow-cooked beef bourguignon, served with woodland mushrooms, bacon, baby onions, pomme purée and a rich burgundy red wine sauce.

For grill lovers, the grilled Asian 7oz fillet mignon from the robata, accompanied by fine noodles, sautéed bok choy, garlic, ginger and soy sauce, is set to impress.

Those with a sweet tooth will also be well catered for, with the new menu boasting a decadent Dark & White Chocolate Delice, complete with honeycomb, raspberry and vanilla ice cream, providing the perfect way to finish a sumptuous meal.

The Vine’s Fork Out Less menus also offer customers the perfect excuse to treat themselves this autumn. With light lunches from just £9.95, featuring comforting soups and freshly made sandwiches, or tempting options like Gambas Prawn Pil Pil, Stone Baked Goats Cheese with fries, or artisan Pizzettes – make it ideal for a relaxed midday bite.

Diners can enjoy two delicious courses from just £18.95, with standout options like crispy vegetable gyoza, Goan curry, or Swiss chicken fondue, followed by indulgent desserts such as the mini mess, sticky toffee pudding, or a classic affogato showing that flavour and value can go hand in hand.

John Kennedy, Vic’s & The Vine GM, said:

“Our team has embraced the best of autumn’s flavours with a menu designed to bring people together over comforting, memorable dishes. From refined classics to innovative flavour combinations, our new menu really captures the season, and we look forward to welcoming new and returning customers to try our latest creations.”
