Dunure has always been an enterprising wee place.

Fishermen and skippers have always been on the lookout for new ideas, new technology, and new ways forward for their families and themselves.

We have to recognise that times have moved on, fishing is no longer the mainstay of the village, and Dunure still offers opportunities and a bright future for our families.

Here are a few of Dunure’s businesses.

The Harbourside


Come and relax in our beautiful wee cafe whilst the fab crew take care of you.


The Harbourside Coffee and Kitchen works together with local suppliers to serve freshly prepared breakfasts, lunches, homemade cakes, hot drinks & more.

Open 10:00 to 4:00.

The Anchorage

Brilliant pub meals, an excellent selection of drinks from the bar, and a warm welcome await you in The Anchorage. For as long as we can remember, the Anchorage has enjoyed an enviable reputation for its pub grub. Well deserved – it’s not unknown for the chef to be out in a boat in the morning catching the lobster for the menu that night!

We are open:

Monday to Thursday 10:00 am to 8:00 pm
Friday and Saturday 10:00 am to 9:00 pm
Sunday 11:00 am to 7:30 pm

Wild Ritual Sauna

A welcome newcomer to Dunure, Wild Ritual has been very popular with visitor and villagers alike.

I’m tempted to say ‘Wildly Popular‘ – but that would be yielding to temptation!

Located beside the harbour, handy for a quick meal or cuppa in the Harbourside or Anchorage.

Go on, yield to temptation!

Started by the son of a Dunure fisherman as a one-man business, McCutcheon Plumbing has grown into one of the foremost plumbers in Ayrshire.

Their growth is due to their high quality of workmanship, genuine and friendly staff, and competitive prices.
