Elbow Room in Fife

Lovely room, with a brilliant selection for breakfast, lovely food served in the restaurant, and the bar is very welcoming Muriel and all her staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Can't wait to return for another break in Fife

Stayed in this hotel for an Ice Hockey game which is round the corner. Room was quite small but ok for a couple. Very nice with a balcony/seating area. Probably nice in the summer but bit cold in the winter! Dinner was nice served in a large room which had a few locals in which is a good sign! Breakfast is continental which is laid out in the corridor...bit strange at first but you just help your self and take back to the room. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Stayed here Friday to Monday as we travelled to watch the ice hockey. The room had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. Continental breakfast provided was lovely, the food served in the restaurant was fantastic - highly recommend and the bar was a nice place to sit and have a pint. Staff were fab and welcoming will definitely be back next year!

We stayed from Friday to Monday and it was fantastic. The family room we had was perfect. The food there is amazing as are all the staff. We will definitely be staying again. 10/10

High tea at the Elbow room Kirkcaldy Good value pub food ,good service nice old pub ,home cooked fresh food steak pie was delicious and home made scones and cakes very nice Would certainly recommend for high tea ,lunch or evening meal good honest food and great value around £30 for two

We had stopped here for lunch on way home. Was extremely busy but managed to get us a table. The food was delicious. Portions were massive. Plenty to choose from menu and they have a pensioners menu with smaller portions. Staff were lovely and friendly and chatty. Was so good we had family visit the same week and we took them for lunch. Excellent value for money

Best Hotel I have stayed in for a long time, I have been staying at the Hotel for the last 7 months, All the staff were very friendly, Home cooked food was brilliant tasty and very hot, I stayed in all the rooms during my stay all were very comfy and clean, I met in with some of the locals who were all very friendly had a few pints with them, I would definitely recommend this hotel as my experience staying there was EXCELLENT THANKS to ALL (to many to mention) Graeme

It was my 60th birthday, and Scott was amazing made sure everything ran smoothly, the other staff were great to, but Scott stole the show, highly recommend.

Stayed at the Elbow Room for 3 nights with my sister and teenage daughter. The room was immaculate, very well designed and thought out. Beds really comfortable and everything there that you could possibly need. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Although it’s above a busy pub there was very little noise. The balcony off the room was a massive tick in the box for us as smokers. Room cleaned and things replenished every day. And the birds in the yard were an added bonus. Will definitely be staying again and would recommend it to anybody.

At Last we have found a Wonderful Eating Venue That Gives You Good Hearty Home Cooking so Thank you so good we've been Twice this Weekend Prawn Salad was so Good And The Sweets Were Fab Thank you we will definitely be back 🥰xx

Cannot fault the food, it is fabulous. However, I phoned Sunday 25th June to enquire if table available for dinner was told by, I think, a young male, no. Asked if perhaps one would become available later, was told Nut! What? How rude! Who speaks to potential customers like that? Anyway we decided to drive along 10 minutes later and we got a table. There was actually 4 tables available, 2 for 4 people and 2 for 2 people. So why was I told Nut? Could have been lost business. Fortunately, food is good as are the staff so will return but strangers might not!

A small group of friends called for our lunch on Father's Day. We were greeted warmly, our drinks order was taken and we were given time to check out the menu. Having eaten here previously we knew the standard and what to expect, as before the food was well presented, simple and tasty. I really enjoyed the black pudding bites with apple sauce that I had for my starter. A couple of us had roast silverside for our main course. The meat was lean and incredibly tender, (if you enjoy rare meat this maybe not for you!). This was served with carrots, cabbage broccoli and a choice of potatoes. I had it with roast pots. All of our plates were emptied. We will be back as it is very reliable, tasty and reasonably priced.

Central Fife. Great for a stay in the area. Comfortable and clean. Good value. Nice little bar with a very friendly team. There is no doubt you will be made feel welcome here. Continental breakfast available all hours. Ample off road parking. Dogs welcome.

2nd vist to the elbow room. Room we were allocated was very large and comfortable, bathroom was gorgeous with a big bath tub and separate shower. We had dinner steak pie was lovely as was the lasagne. Remained in hotel for the evening entertainmane, staff are very friendly as are the locals. Breakfast is a continental which you help yourself to in the corridor outside the rooms an excellent idea. This is our go to place when we are in kirkcaldy

Stayed for one night with our 2 dogs plus points: Friendly welcome. Had a very tasty lunch when we arrived. Room and bathroom was a fair size. Basic but clean. Staff stripped the single bed in the room and covered with a throw so the dogs could be comfy too. Very good continental breakfast selection. Minus points: The double bed was very uncomfortable and on inspection it appeared broken and had been mended with what look like a piece of pallet wood. There was a strange smell, which we could only describe as a mixture of damp and disinfectant. While in our room, the door was opened by a man who claimed we were in his room. When we went to clear the matter up with the management, we were advised that he had the room for 2 weeks prior to our arrival had been moved to another room but they had forgotten to tell him or take the key back! Could have been very scary if this had happened to a woman travelling alone.

First time trying this place and glad to say it will definitely not be the last.the food was absolutely amazing and plenty of it.presentation was lovely.service was extremely quick as Well.prices are really good for the amount of food you get.only thing I can say is the staff that was serving us could have done a bit more to help make you feel at ease and welcome.the guys was good but the female server wasn't the friendliest. Wouldn't put me of going back though.already thinking of what I'l be having on my next visit.thank you for a lovely tea folks.

We dropped in here for a bar lunch and got a great meal, couldn't fault any of the food, large portion sizes that tasted great, service was excellent 5 stars.

Dog friendly, small charge. Big car park at the back. Rooms have separate entrance to pub. Room has balcony, quiet fridge, extras inc. bottled water. Pleasant staff. We didn't eat there (breakfast is extra). Quiet night's sleep (it was Tuesday). Just over a mile from Kirkcaldy centre.Very reasonable.

We had OAP set lunch which was excellent home-cooked food as you would expect, Roast dinner, fish and chips, and macaroni cheese lovely

Have been a few times before for lunch,it was empty when we arrived but it soon filled up,the , staff are very friendly ,I ordered roast beef veg and mashed potatoes with Yorkshire pudding ,it was delicious,I then ordered ginger pudding and custard was lovely,all four of us enjoyed our food ,price wise very good two courses £7.50 which is very reasonable,have never had a bad meal here would definitely recommend it.

place look so old,service poor as hell,too expensive ,pastry for steak pie ,horrible,really should change everything in this poor sad place

We dropped by for a bar lunch, this is one of our favourite places to eat in Kirkcaldy as we have never had a bad meal here and today was no exception. We sat down and ordered our food and drinks. Shortly thereafter the food and drinks came to the table. All the food that came to the table was excellent, no complaints about any of it, I can recommend the large fish, cleaned plates all round. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. Great meal at a great price.

Went here with another three adults and all meals were first class I had a roast dinner which was huge and delicious My husband had the salad and chips which was lovely The other dish was macaroni which was well presented with chips and salad The last meal was curry with half chips and half rice again another huge portion All meals were piping hot and served by a very pleasant young lady.The sweet menu looked very nice but we were unable to have one as we were full with the main meal This is definitely good value and would recommend it

The food here is excellent !!! A real nice place to go for a lunch. We liked it so much we went twice and we had different foods from the menu and everything was tasty and well prepared. Right down to the butter being soft enough to spread on the bread. Soup was great, black pudding bites also super tasty. Steak Pie is also very very good and the beef cooked amazing. Can’t praise this place enough. Service is also very friendly.

Visited the Elbow Room last night for a high tea and what a disappointment! When we arrived and said we’d booked for high tea we were told to “just sit anywhere “ . We sat down at a table and we had to ask for tea and coffee which eventually came lukewarm. We asked if we could get more which we did get but the coffee was very poor quality. We waited for a bit then had our order taken but still no toast,we then asked for some which arrived at same time as our meal. Also we had to ask for butter and jam. The meal itself was ok not bad just ok. After our meal we got a plate with a selection of sponge cakes and caramel shortbread. Nice but not your traditional cakes you’d get and no scones which was a disappointment. The boy that served us tried his best I think but no guidance from other staff. We were made to feel it was time to go at the end very clearly,my friend had her plate taken away from her as she was still eating. A thumbs down from me. Very disappointed.

Met on entry by friendly staff, seated and handed menu, staff very friendly and polite

Stayed here for two nights had breakfast and dinner. I'm milk and gluten intolerant. Staff could not have been more helpful, what they didn't have on site they purchased especially for me. Assisted in helping me organise celebration for friends birthday. Nothing was to much trouble, so kind, caring and friendly. Portions big and delicious. Definitely be back.

Visited the other night & went for cajun chicken on the specials board. Wrong choice. In reality it was chicken cubes lost in a syrupy savouryish sauce. Partners fish and chips was fine.Service was good.

Excellent food great service been many times always good food nothing to much trouble For staff definitely be back

We went there before attending the Ice Hockey nearby. We all had the steak pie and it was excellent. Will try different items on our return next week.

Visited The Elbow Room tonight for tea with friends. The food was lovely. I had chicken in a sweet chilli sauce, potatoes and veg. My friends had freshly made omelettes, chips and veg. Nice puddings too. Specials board available. It was £40 and lovely.

Back at the Elbow Room. Great value, very friendly. The food was as it has been in the past, well cooked and plenty of it. I am sure I will be back soon.

Visited with the family, we've been before on previous visits & never been disappointed. A good value delicious meal in a pleasant room.The children especially liked to see the aviary with the cockatiels.

Early tea for two. Home made mushroom soup and breaded fish for auntie off the pensioners menu. Battered mushrooms and the roast of the day, which had three thick slices of Silverside, for me. Never disappointed and great value for money.

Just returned from a few nights at this hotel. Don't be fooled by the exterior the rooms are lovely. Clean and well presented. Everything you need is provided even bath sheets . Everyone is really friendly and can't do enough for you. We ate in the restaurant and the food delicious. Breakfast which is extra was lovely. We didn't mind paying extra as the rooms were very reasonable. Went to Edinburgh on the train takes about 40 mins but worth the effort. We were even offered a lift to the station . Give this place a go it's worth it.

We booked for 5 for lunch this was my first visit,, the menu was excellent great variety the service was good very pleasant staff, I had the steak pie which I would highly recommend , for pudding I had the rhubarb sponge & Custard which was lovely overall our group were very happy with all the food we had will definitely return .

Mi Grand mi hija y yo nos alojamos aquí hace unas pocas semanas. La habitación era muy limpia y las camas eran muy cómodas. No desayunamos ya que no habíamos pedido con antelación. Fue una reserva de última hora, pero sin duda los de nuevo. Aunque no comimos creo de amigos las comidas son muy buenas.

Excelente comida y un personal amable. Bien vale la pena el precio. Precios razonables, una gran selección, también dispone de un menú de té x

What a loveley little hotel.only stayed one night.Had a room with a balcony as we had our dog with us.room spotless.everything you could need.Had a lovely breakfast.excellent value for money.will be back next time we are in Kiirkcaldy

Rooms are clean if a little small, good price but be aware this faces on to a very busy junction, traffic starts at 5am!

Visited the Elbow Room for a bar lunch. It hadn't changed since my last visit many moons ago.Service was quick order taken and drinks delivered within minutes of sitting down. Good was good. The only problem l had was pre cooked puff pastry on my steak pie. If l had know it was going to be pre cooked l would have ordered something else. Overall, it was a good experience and will be going back again. Well done.

I meant to leave this review before now. I visited the Elbow room with my mum and a family friend just before Christmas. The food was excellent as was the service. It was also very good value for money. The steak pie was amazing as was The Banana Spilt which I must add was a proper Banana spilt. I'm originally from Fife and this was my first visit to The Elbow room.Will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

What a lovely meal we had as always all 7 of us could find all we wanted on the menu although the food is plain it is very tastey they have attentive waiting staff which is very good. Some guest bitters such as John Smiths are welcome by family who come from Yorkshire.

Popped in here today for a bar lunch and as expected the meal was very good, the servers were polite, well presented and very helpful. Free parking around the back. If you are in Kirkcaldy give the Elbow Room a try.

Stayed here for 1 night on a 3 day trip to Scotland. Lovely hotel . Great staff who had moved us from a double room to a larger family room with seating area in the room and a massive bathroom. If your in the area this is the place to stay

At first I was concerned we had made a mistake as the restaurant was rather empty but I needn't have worried. The room soon began to buzz and the atmosphere was great. The food was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lovely place to eat. Will definitely return.

i've eaten here many times over a number of years. on my latest visit my sister made a group booking for a joint birthday party. the staff were very very good serving drinks taking orders and serving the excellent food. an all round great evening.

Have visited the elbow room now a few times for meals and it's always lovely.On this occasion there was just the 2 of us,both had 3 courses and a couple of drinks and was just over £50 so really good value.I had the soup which was one of the only things I wasn't impressed with,described as lentil but more like vegetable.No taste of lentil and with big chunks of carrot and potato,don't get me wrong it was still nice!Partner had the burger and it was that big he had to eat it with a knife and fork,for me I had the large fish and with 2 slices of fresh haddock chips and peas it was really enjoyable,whilst the portions r massive they r always served on a tiny plate,I know some places do this to make the portions look bigger but here u don't have to they r actually massive.Puddings were also lovely.Another small disappointment was after my dad had joined us for a drink he went to order a beer and it must have took the young lad a good 5 mins before even acknowledging him.However they were just a couple of small niggles on what was as always a great meal.Be back soon.

Nice place for a family meal, food was cooked to order and plenty on the plate, tables are set out in the pub area which is still separated from everywhere else, did have to wait about 40 mins for our meals but well worth it, prices were really good, free wifi too and car park, will be back

Went here for the first time on Friday at 4pm for an early dinner with my 5 year old daughter. Really enjoyed it and will be going back. Friendly staff, good food, and relaxing atmosphere. I had nachos for a starter and then steak and ale pie for my main and they were delicious. My daughter had the chicken dippers kids meal. I also had a point of lager and the entire bill was less than 20 pounds.

Our family continually frequent the Elbow Room, especially at weekends. There is an adequate menu to suit most tastes and purses. Food is always well prepared and PLENTIFUL. Parking is available to the rear of the restaurant.

I have been hear a number of times with either friends family or my children who are all under 8 years old. The goods brilliant and staff are very happy and friendly. My parter also uses the bar facility every few weeks with ha best friend for a catch up and they love it. Great atmosphere and great selection of alcohol

Lovely friendly people. Even brought our dogs some water and treats while we had lunch. Food was lovely service was excellent very accommodating and reasonable priced. Would highly recommend.

I've visited the Elbow Room many times, and have always been very happy with the warm welcome, friendly informal service and the value and quality of the food. I was there tonight with the kids, and there was a good selection of the usual pub style food, plus a couple of specials. It's nothing fancy, but very well priced and freshly cooked. I always notice that the place improves with every visit, but retains a lot of original character. I will certainly continue to support this local, and happy to recommend it for a visit.

I was in Kirkcaldy for the day with my wife and fiends , the woman went shopping and the men went to the elbow room with our maltese terrier dog. The welcome we got from the bar staff and customers was excellent , everyone was so friendly and the dog got a lot of attention with treats from behind the bar, i just like to thank all for making us feel at home in my local , its the best welcome ive had in a long time going into a strange pub in a different town

we were in today service and staff were great very quick. no problems with any off our orders first class

Lunch menu is excellent. Come here often. Haven't tried evening so can't comment but delicious home cooked grubb.

one of our party asked if the soup was gluten free the waitress went to check and confirmed it was but when it was brought to the table she also brought bread on the same plate for his main course he told the waitress no coleslaw as it has dairy but when it came to the table it had to be taken back as it had coleslaw on it, another of our party ordered gammon steak but had to leave it as it was smoked but there was no mention of smoked on the menu when the waitress collected the plates and she was informed of this she just smiled not what you expect from a catering establishment.

I have spent quite a few nights at this place over the years and didn't hesitate to book again. What a shock I was in for. Firstly there was no milk in the fridge to go with all the tea and coffee that was left. The restaurant was closed on arrival. We were told it would be open. Once settled and had eaten out we returned for a drink in the snug as we didn't want to join in the karaoke. We witnessed staff shouting at customers. Staff that weren't in duty and drunk. Only then to add insult to injury the staff member then asked us to take her side. Diabolical to say the least. We decided to return to our room to get out the way and retire for the night. Upon getting into bed we discovered holes in the sheets and duvet cover. Photos added. There was also no heating and it was only 1 degree outside. To top off the poor quality of the service we got no breakfast. There wasn't even anyone there to take our keys when we left at 10am. Doors were all locked and no one in sight. We were told the chef didn't start till 10am but that there would be cereals and milk in our room. We are still waiting. Such a disappointment when we have been here a few times previously and the service was perfect before. Have all the good staff deserted a sinking ship coz for me it has well and truly sunk and will not be returning.

Spent 1 night here and have to say was very impressed. We got the family room, which was huge, had 2 single beds and 1 double, there was also a couch and chair in the room. The bathroom was fabulous, very spacious, with separate shower and bath. The accommodation also has separate entry from the main pub. Free wifi in the room and large sky tv package. There is also a fridge in the room. Beds were very comfortable. Staff welcoming and friendly. Didnt get the chance to eat there but would go back as heard many good reviews.

The table for 5 adults was pre-booked.Friendly and polite staff. The wine we wanted was not cold and the staff member put the wine in the chiller for 10 minutes.We placed our order. Food was average. Depending on what your order for the size of the portions. Chefs salad ok. Lasagne you need a side order of chips and the stroganoff and rice, order a side dish aswell ...As mentioned by others the surroundings are tired.

Very good pub grub, excellent service very pleased with our visitsurroundings a wee bit tired but the food and service we received more than made up for decor

We returned for a family lunch on Saturday and I had forgotten how good value the elbow Room is.Will definitely be back.

Was here for lunch today and I can honestly say it's the best lunch I have had in a long time and the staff are to be thanked for the service which was great

Been going to elbow room for years but you know what, don't think will be back. Went on Friday, had macaroni cheese and what a disappointment. I was able to count the macaroni bits, not many and although tasty, the sauce was very thin. Not worth the money. Normally, could forgive the cold dark interior as the food would compensate but not now. Please get back to what the elbow room used to be.

Go here every now and again. Usual pub grub selection plus daily specials. Portions are large - they will let you order a pensioner portion though if you don't like a plateful. Veg is always fresh the fish too! Coffe isn't up to much. Staff and service are good, they will squeeze you in as the place can be very busy!

Decent enough pub grub, always a few specials on the menu. Place could do with a bit of a face lift - quite dark and always cold in the winter. They do offer 'pernsioners' portions which they will let you order if you can only manage a smaller portion. Fish always fresh. Staff are pleasant and friendly.

Serving good pub food, at not expensive prices, but tasty and friendly staff who looked after us during lunch.

Stopped on the way home for tea. Found it a great place. The food was excellent with a quick service. The staff were friendly and expert at their trade. Will defiantly go back. Best food and quality I've had for a long time. Defiantly 5stars.
