Let us introduce ourselves...

Westerly is a stylish training restaurant located on the top floor of the Dam Park Building at Ayr Campus, Ayrshire College.

Westerly is open to the public for lunch Tuesday to Friday. We will be open for dinner throughout the year - follow our social media for information.

Our hospitality students make it all happen, and do everything from providing you with a warm welcome to preparing delicious meals using the best locally produced ingredients.

You can enjoy a chilled glass of wine or soft drink with your meal and relax with a speciality coffee or tea. We can also accommodate small parties of guests for corporate lunches or celebration birthday treats.

The bar at Westerly supports the service of the restaurant. Please note that we only serve alcoholic beverages with food.

We ask our guests to remember that Westerly is a training environment; therefore our menus are subject to change and your patience and co-operation would be appreciated.
