Carlton Hotel

Some North American tribes used to do rain dances to encourage wet weather.

We’re pretty certain that the Scottish equivalent would be to whinge on social media about how we need the sunshine.

Enjoy afternoon tea for two with today’s Big Deal from The Carlton Hotel on Ayr Road in Prestwick.

Logans Restaurant at The Carlton Hotel is a smart spot for a bite to eat.

Cleverly divided into several spaces, it offers intimate booth seating, window tables and smart, contemporary open fires – all illuminated by designer lighting.

Afternoon tea

The Big Deal option one is for two people to have afternoon tea. Option two is the same and includes a chilled glass of Prosecco each. It is available seven days a week from 2pm until 4pm.

Think along the lines of savouries and pastries to start followed by warm scones served with cream and preserves as well as a selection of sweet treats and tea or coffee.

Happy diners

Logans Restaurant at The Carlton hotel has lots of admirers on TripAdvisor:

‘Birthday tea. Welcoming feeling, excellent choice for meals and service top notch. Parking easy too. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience.’

‘The only way I could describe this place is fantastic. From the food to the service everything was on point. I would definitely return and have a few times for drinks and food.’

‘Lovely meal. Both enjoyed our meal. Staff were polite and helpful. Decor nice and seating comfy. Will definitely be returning.’

Ideal present

Valid to the end of June, this Big Deal would make a sweet present.

It would be perfect for a catch-up with a friend. Or you could spoil someone by taking them out and making a day of it.

You could visit Culzean Castle or Burns’ cottage in the morning and then head to The Carlton Hotel for a sumptuous afternoon tea.

Know any aunts or friends of the family who would love to be taken out for a drive with afternoon tea?
