Dining at Rufflets in Fife

Great food and exceptional value - Michelin starred quality food. Local produce from the large kitchen garden compliments Scottish produce. There are traditional options such as fish and chips / burgers and steak - however I presume this is for the American clientele who stay here. Definitely worthwhile trying the fine dining dishes.

Loved every minute. Would go back agaiñ

I do not like writing negative reviews, but I am sorry to say that I have little option on this one. Simply stated, the food here falls very far short of what one might expect for the price. Receiving the bill took me beyond disappointment and into the realm of angry shock. We dined here, and it must be said that the staff were helpful and attentive. Mind you, they did not have many diners to look after, the reason for which became clearer as dinner proceeded. We all wanted the 'Scottish lamb', which would have made the cook's job easier (I am not going to honour him/her with the title 'chef'). "Dog food" is the best epithet we could find for the compressed brick of dry shredded meat; the chorizo sausage was full of bone splinters; there were the obligatory six tiny pointless dots of an unidentifiable vegetable purée; some tired girolles; all of it cold when it arrived at the table. This is a beautiful hotel, set in wonderful grounds - that does not mean it can charge ritzy prices when the cook cannot produce the goods. I could go on, but it would serve no purpose other than to remind myself that I paid a king's ransom for a tinker's dinner.

Love place for function and meal

Came for some tea, scones, and a stroll around the gardens. Everything was lovely! The staff were all very welcoming and friendly toward my little baby and I appreciated the nice baby changing station in the bathroom.

Food nice but expensive and portions are (in my opinion) small, such a shame.
