Excitement ruled in our family. Our elder daughter had announced her wedding and weeks thereafter my husband was to be installed into the chair of his Free Masons Lodge, so with many formal events to attend in the near future, he decided to invest in a kilt and I was roped in as a second opinion when he went to MacGregor and MacDuff,205 Main Street, Prestwick, Ayrshire KA9 1LH, Scotland. When he went to try on his finished outfit, he looked so smart.
To celebrate he took me to lunch at The Prestwick Pioneer. It is a Wetherspoon’s pub, so we were expecting cheap and cheerful. Unlike many Wetherspoon establishments that are situated in converted banks or other old buildings, The Prestwick
Pioneer is a bright, glass fronted building with easy access from the street for those who are disabled or with mobility problems. It has light, modern furniture and a generous supply of coffee from self-service urn. As my husband would happily main-line coffee he was a very happy man.
We both chose burgers. I had a veggie burger and he had a cheese burger with added bacon. They were served with salad vegetables and chips and we treated ourselves to a small portion of onion rings to share. We both enjoyed our meals.
The staff in The Prestwick Pioneer were very pleasant and the whole place, including the lavatories, was kept spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed our visit here and it delivered exactly what we had expected: a good hearty hot meal at reasonable prices. If that is what you are looking for, you will not go wrong here.
