What People Say

"We are STILL talking about the mushroom pappardelle, and went back a second night because the food was so good."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious food and exceptional service, making it a must-visit destination.

"What’s not to love about a place called the Manure Room! Staff are fantastic. I had 2 flights (because 1 is never enough!) and both were delicious. Also had the cauliflower croquettes, also delicious."

"Discovered Ayrburn on our last day of our trip unfortunately because we would have loved to be there longer. The Manure Room is fabulous. We ordered a bunch of small eats and everything was amazing. Wine tasting is a must. Cant wait to go back in a couple of months. What a spot!!"
