Brunch at Titchfield's, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire


So it was that time of the week, my favourite time ... Saturday Brunch. We were both a little tired after our night out in Glasgow the night before so we decided to stay local. I had driven by Titchfield's in Kilmarnock a few times and thought it looked really nice so we decided to give it a go. We arrived into the restaurant just before 12 and it was empty - I mean there was not one other person in the restaurant - to be honest it was a little disconcerting! I couldn't really understand it - I follow Titchfield's on social media and they always appeared to be producing amazing looking food. However, it was one of those rare sunny Saturday mornings so maybe people were having a picnic by the sea. 

Food
The menu for brunch isn't extensive - there are 6 options on it. You can have breakfast rolls, scrambled eggs, french toast, breakfast, ironmonger (description below) and pancakes. I decided to go for the ironmonger and Mr EmmaEats went for the breakfast (surprisingly enough). My ironmonger breakfast was a three egg omelette of chorizo, black pudding, grilled bacon & caramelised onions served in a cast iron pan. I can confirm that it tasted as good as it sounds. I wasn't blown away with the chorizo - I do like it in general but I just wasn't enjoying this particular one. However the rest of the breakfast was totally delicious. The cast iron pan also kept the heat in it for ages.



Mr EE loved his breakfast, he said it was just the perfect amount. He loved the sour dough bread as well. He said there was very little grease on the plate (so he reckoned he had gone for the healthy option). I even commented on the fact that the sausage looked like a real proper sausage, it really did look good. Food rating: 4/5.


Service
The service here was very good - given that we were their only customers I wouldn't expect anything less though. The waitress was really friendly. Everything arrived quickly and with a smile. Service rating: 4/5.

Atmosphere 
This is a weird one - even though the place was empty I thought there was a lovely vibe about the place. It is beautifully decorated and very clean. I was sitting by the window just watching the world go by. The restaurant didn't feel empty, even though it was. Atmosphere rating: 4/5.

Price
The cost of our breakfast was £18.20 - we had 2 breakfasts and 3 coffee's. I thought this was great value for money given that the quality of the food is great here. Price rating: 5/5.


Last Words
I really enjoyed my breakfast here, it is a great find in Kilmarnock. I really don't understand why it was empty. I did ask the waitress was the place normally this empty and she said no. She said they were nearly fully booked for dinner that evening. So I'm just putting it down to the lovely weather. I can safely say that this is the nicest spot in Kilmarnock for brunch and I'm guessing it's safe to the say the same for dinner but just to be sure I will be back to try it out. Total rating: 17 out of 20.

  1. Been here a couple of times and it is a wee gem! Different, innovative and friendly. Can I recommend lunch at The Stair Inn if you like locally sourced produce?

    1. It really is a gem! I so can't wait to go back for dinner. I saw that they had tapas Tuesday last night and that looked really interesting. I've just looked at the The Stair Inn's menu and I love it. I will definitely have to try that out. Thank you for the recommendation. If you have any more send them my way. Emma Mai xx
