Dan McKays
71 Portland Street, Troon, KA10 6QU
A TOWN CENTRE PUB WITH A GREAT GARDEN
Dan McKays located in Troon town centre is a community pub know for having the largest beer garden in this coastal town. The pub is an important part of the local community and hosts activities such as live sports and quiz nights, which are very popular. The pub is heavily wet led, trading at an 80/20 split in favour of drinks. The next operator here could benefit from further development of the food offer (although the trade kitchen is small) and making more of the wonderful garden to drink further trade.
