About The Canny Man

Formerly the Paraffin Lamp, this well known pub restaurant in Lugton, near Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, on the Glasgow to Irvine Road, has a new lease of life as The Canny Man. Now one of the most popular pub restaurants in North Ayrshire.

Taken over by Piersland Inns (of Piersland House Hotel, Troon fame), the Canny Man underwent a full and stylish refurbishment in May 2007. Although it is tricked out in traditional stone, wood and flock wallpaper, it looks like a city-centre style bar.

Even the big pictures of the Highland cows in the dining room look in anticipation. Enjoy all the drinks you might ever expect or want. And the food offer plays the major part in The Canny Man's attraction and popularity. Delightful fresh food is served daily, with mouth watering lunch and evening menus complemented with daily specials. The food runs from simple fish'n'chips to more jazzy meals like medallions of pork fillet with poached apricots and a mustard and cider sauce.
