A much loved dog had a amazing final weekend thanks to the team at The Potting Shed in Irvine.

And Ruby's owners couldn't thank staff at the Simpsinn's restaurant enough for helping to give her an extra special send off.

A review on the restaurant website by Dan, Nicky, Donna and Ruby - left some of the team close to tears.

They wrote: "An absolutely lovely end to a magnificent, poignant last weeked with our dog Ruby.

"We were on our way to the third beach of the day when the sign for Potting Shed caught my eye: something about it attreacted me and I am so glad we booked and went in on the way back.

"The interior design is berautiful and fun. The food was great. The service we received was immaculate.

"Chelsee our waitress was patient, kind and empathetic. It was a sentimental last evening/meal with Ruby.

"Chelsee was aware and navigated the evening with the perfect blend of class and warmth.

"I believe Maddie prepared Ruby's three course meal. She was utterly spoilt with with sausage, bacon bites and scrambled egg, which she unquestionably loved - Ruby said thank you!
