Kinneuchar Inn in Fife

Had been keen to visit the inn for some time Booked into Restuarant on a Wednesday evening. Very quiet However the dishes were very tasty and made great use of local produce Prices we felt were expensive and the cost of side dishes a bit of a rip off Very attentive service

Truly overpriced and pretentious, service just fine, can only speculate on the good reviews, check prices before entering!!! Will never return .

I’ve been following these guys on social media for a while and have been desperate to visit. The food was absolutely brilliant. Seasonal and local took priority, with hearty portions. Sharing plates are great - the chateaubriande platter was a huge win for the table!! You really get looked after by the team, welcomed and fed well. Great atmosphere, not at all stuffy, everything you want from a pub restaurant. My favourite place to eat in Fife!

Fabulous experience for dinner with three adults and two kids under 12. Food was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. A real gem in the East Neuk.

Pretentious, over priced menu and food. How can a sausage not just be called a sausage, especially as you only get one in a mainss course!

Extremely pleasant meal and lovely staff. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. We were a bit worried that it might be a little stuffy or fine diney as we were visiting with our children, but we were pleased to be proven wrong. Exceptional food for all the family.

You will not be disappointed! What a gem set in the beautiful little village of Kilconqur. We had Chicken Salmoriglio with aioli. To die for. Moist entree and lovely roasted potatoes. Aioli complemented meal perfectly. Started with beet root/goat cheese. Drizzled with special oil. Also had deviled eggs like I’ve never tasted before. Such a special experience with 5 star meal in such an enchanting village. Staff were friendly and eager to please.

We had a lovely evening in the restaurant. The menu and specials board gave enough choice without overwhelm. Each course was gorgeous and we were even given bread for mopping up the delicious sauce. The raw blue fun tuna was a highlight for me. Friendly service and enjoyed the simple touch of having well sign posted loos!

We were driving back to Edinburgh from St. Andrew’s, through the coastal towns, when we came across this gem. We phoned ahead and they were able to get us in. Everything was top notch. The servers were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home; the food was phenomenal. We started with their house bread and butter before having the Pig’s Head Croquettes. The croquettes, crispy on the outside, were melt-in-your-mouth goodness on the inside. For mains, the Shetland Lamb was braised perfection with a delightful and unexpected fava bean puree; I was so taken with my main dish, I’m not quite sure what my spouse had now - I think it was a crispy duck croquette, possibly from the Specials menu. To finish off, my wife had the Meringue with Rhubarb and I had the Malt House Ice Cream. To summarize, the entire menu offered the unexpected. All was well presented in creative fashion, but still approachable from a “comfort food” point of view. The inn was cozy, welcoming, and well worth a visit. I wish they would be a little closer to home.

Our first time at the Inn. We went for lunch to try out before taking friends. The menu and specials board was excellent . The food was really very very good. What’s more it was a proper portion size. They catered for both vegan and non vegan. Good wine list.Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely informal decor. Need less to say we will be back with our friends in October .Lastly, our server was on day 2 of his training and did a brilliant job!

It seems strange that in your "Foof and Drink" section there is no mention of any drinks; nor is there any wine list, available beers etc. Presumably you do offer some?

Staff were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Restaurant was cosy and food was absolutely first class. Menu is limited and all dishes cooked to order so don't expect to be fast food. We had the most delightful waiting staff who were knowledgeable about all dishes and happy to answer questions. A lovely lunch

Our first visit to restaurant was a great success. We had a great dinner with friends; nice choice of dishes including brill on the specials. We romped through three courses and some nice wines and enjoyed everything. The look and feel of the restaurant is great and we were well looked after by the team.

Amazing food and friendly, helpful staff. Cannot wait to go back! My husband and I had the most amazing lunch in this cosy restaurant. We booked last minute and we weren't disappointed. We had anchovy pullet eggs (think small deviled eggs with fresh, salty anchovies) while we were waiting for the specials board. We had already decided to have the line caught cod but then we saw the specials! Short rib steak pie for 2 jumped into first place. We were told it would take 45 minutes so we ordered some oysters with shallot vinaigrette and beetroot borani with feta, walnuts and dill served with warm flat bread. The food was absolutely amazing. It was the best steak pie I've ever had! For dessert we shared the last piece of treacle tart which was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Ruth, the waitress and mixologist had created an old fashioned using tequila aged in whisky barrels. This was the perfect finish to an incredible meal. The staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. We can't wait to go back!

Absolutely loved this little Inn. We were staying in Kilconquhar, the Kinneuchar Inn was a 7 minute walk. We had booked for the Saturday night but decided to walk along on the Friday with our 3 Scottie girls to see if they took dogs. Nev said no problem he was lovely & the Inn was perfect for drink’s, dinner had finished but Ruth overheard us asking & offered to make us soup & chips ….now that’s service, we opted for chips & they were amazing. Ruth changed our booking to a bar table for the following night so as we could bring our Scottie girls. Food was excellent we had the fish of the day which we both enjoyed. If you’re in the area definitely check this place out. Thank you Ruth & Nev for looking after us.

We've been meaning to make a trip over to this place since they opened. We braved a storm and were so glad we did. The menu is so interesting and original. Fantastic produce lovingly cared for and presented. Staff were so friendly and there is a lovely feel to the place. If I lived in this village I'd be here on a weekly basis.

I visited with my elderly mother, Auntie, cousin, her husband and dog for lunch. I can honestly say we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. My Mum and Auntie are from Lundin Links originally and so happy to be together again in their local area. Food was local, beautifully presented and served by a friendly and professional team. Thank you Alithea ( apologies if spelling is wrong)

Was recommended this little gem by friends while we stayed in the area. Food was excellent. A small menu but different from anything else in the area. Food and service were excellent so much so we returned a few days later and it was excellent again. Also the menu was different so that’s a change from the norm. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

We were so impressed with the quality of the food and the attentive service on out first visit to the Kinneuchar Inn that we followed-up two other visits during our 5 day stay in the nearby resort. Our other choices were The Ship at Elie and the 19th Hole, which are both excellent and based on quality of cuisine and presentation I would rate the Kinneuchar at least on a par with two fine establishments and even better value. The rump steak with fat chips was well presented and a really nice touch was that Ben the Chef actually served us too and duly followed-up for feedback. His enthusiasm is obvious and is such a refreshing. Another welcoming aspect is wine is reasonably priced and of very acceptable quality The dining room in a separate area of at the back of the Inn is no way posh but I would say the quality of the food and the excellent service more than makes up for the sparse surroundings.

Stunning surroundings, excellent staff and marvellous food. We chose to dine inside and have our coffee outside. Food was beautifully presented.

We visited the revamped Kinneuchar Inn on 29 June and were so looking forward to it. A limited menu can be fine but not if the choices consist of quirky and unfamiliar items. The pork leg main course was served pink and just about luke-warm and despite being thin cut, it was quite tough. Despite the fancy description it was no more than a bog standard “Sunday roast” We did give our feedback to the kitchen via the waitress but the message back was “ Chef says that’s how it is supposed to be” Ian Hughes

Superb meal with fantastic service. I would strongly recommend having the scallops if still on the specials board. The bake was perfectly cooked and was washed down with a lovely carafe of Picpoul. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Such a joy.

When arriving we were advised if we wanted to sit outside we would have to order snacks as meals were only allowed inside. As it was a lovely evening we decided to order snacks but when we looked at the menu it was vastly overpriced for what they were offering. I ordered a glass of red wine which was served in a small plastic tumbler. I would have thought at least it would have been served in a wine glass.

Our second visit to the lovely Kinneuchar Inn. A beautiful location and luckily for ourselves within walking distance of where we live.... then brilliant service from all staff. Finally the food which is generally locally sourced and absolutely delicious.

Probably the best meal and service I have had ever Food like the staff was phenomenal and professionally presented Been in the area a few times over the years and can’t believe this is the first time being here

Visited here for the first time with friends. The surroundings and decor are traditional. The service was very good with all staff friendly and attentive. The menu is not huge which is good in my opinion, the food was stunning and portions large. Will definitely return and would recommend

This was our first visit to the Kinneuchar Inn and we were not disappointed. The menu was interesting, the food was excellent and the ingredients, the best of local produce. Service was informative and friendly. Our only complaint was that the restaurant was a bit cold - we had expected a cosy pub atmosphere - an open fire would have made it perfect.

Had dinner here in the bar. Atmosphere was lovely and cosy with the wood burner on. We had smoked trout and leeks with egg vinaigrette followed by beef and veal then ended with cheese course.All in all a fabulous meal. The staff are attentive but...

Another fantastic meal out at the inn. It was a birthday celebration with friends in a perfect environment all very relaxed yet professional Food was exceptional with the standard menu being backed up with some specials. Our party particularly enjoyed the mussels on a flatbread...

paid by card and service charge of 10 per cent was added not given the choice even though it says on receipt optional.

The main menu is small and changes regularly and there are also daily specials. Emphasis is on local produce but there was also Mediterranean influence when we visited. As a group of 3 we ordered 2 snacks, 3 starters, 3 mains and 2 desserts, and...

We went as a family on Wed 3rd Aug. 2nd time we had been there and was expecting the same level of service we received the first time. The food was good, however we were placed through the back and although that was fine, our...

Very good food. It's not a huge dining room so you really need to book. We made some expensive choices on the menu so the final bill was not small. Very good selection of beers. Pleasant and efficient service

Delicious lunch in lovely surroundings. The menu is imaginative and showcases the majority of ingredients from within a 5 mile radius of the restaurant . We enjoyed perfectly cooked plaice with pickled fennel ,tomatoes and buttered kale. Great knowledgeable service and a lovely selection of...

The menu was not typical which is what attracted us to visit. Lots of seasonal and local produce, creatively and well cooked. Service was the perfect combination relaxed but, efficient and professional. I think you could choose anything from the menu, my favourite was the...

Visited for dinner 2 couples. Could not have had better food or service restaurant beautifully decorated staff so friendly perfect meals. Highly recommended local fish had the turbot, amazing. Can't wait to return. Thank you.

Visited last night and have to say this was one of the best meals I have ever experienced. Red mullet with escabeche was the winner for me - sublime. Staff were lovely; extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Cannot wait for a return visit.

Wonderful Saturday Lunch with friends. Staff were friendly and helpful and service was excellent. We were never rushed and the food was superb which was the main reason for being there. The oysters made our day.

Stopped into the pub a few times whisky we were staying in the area. The staff were very friendly and happy to have our 9 month old in. There was Pilot Vienna Pale, Blackisle blonde and Futtle table beer on amongst others. There was also...

Had lunch here on a Sunday. The food was outstanding! Scallops and oysters to start followed by lamb and roast chicken. Portions are large and delicious. Finished with cheese which was perfectly served and homemade crackers. A bottle of picpoul was perfectly chilled. The interior...

This was our fourth visit to the Kinneuchar Inn and we had a marvellous Sunday lunch. We had had two brilliant meals pre-pandemic, shortly after it opened under new management, then came back for the delicious autumn menu when we enjoyed the game dishes. Today...

Looked forward to a 'special' meal. Starters were quite good. One main (ragu) was very good, but my wife's main - 'Denver Steak' was really really chewy. Veg OK. Overall - we felt let down - the offer of 1 reduced price dessert as compensation...

Fantastic locally sourced ingredients prepared beautifully and service was also on point Had several meals here over the last 2 months and every time it has been excellent quality and experience

We recently at at The Kinneuchar Inn and really enjoyed it. It serves very interesting and imaginative pub food, of the very highest quality. Service is very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

The Kinneuchar Inn was the highlight of a special birthday weekend spent in Fife. When our original dinner plans fell through, Alethea was able to organise a dinner for 8 in their private room with little notice. The menu options were excellent and were easily...

Staying nearby on a break we decided to visit the Inn for an evening meal . So disappointed with the whole experience. Presentation of the food was so terrible and after complaining that the lamb chop was very fatty I was told that the fat...

Second time dining at Kinneucher Inn. Second time disappointed with the cold & non involved service from the staff. Absolutely bringing nothing to the table character wise but the food. The food was better than last time apart from the dessert which was poor due...

An incredible pub with delicious food and drinks. So lucky to have this exceptional place on our door step. The menu changes every day not a frozen burger in sight. Lovely interiors and intelligent staff. Top marks on all fronts

As a part-time resident of Elie, I had tried to make a reservation for some time but only succeeded last Saturday (11th). Having heard of the Inn’s aspirations for a Michelin star, I was full of expectation for a wonderful gastronomic experience. Sadly, the reality...

Like lots of people this year, I had to forgo sunnier climes and take a holiday in the UK this summer. But despite the disappointment of the British weather, it has been places like the Kinneuchar Inn which have made me glad I did. This...

This is pretty much my idea of a perfect restaurant. The food is wonderful - carefully sourced and honestly and beautifully cooked. Ingredients are shown off to their absolute best, everything is made from scratch from the bread to the charcuterie. It's a real treat....

Oh my goodness, what a shame, what used to be a lovely village inn with decent food has turned out to be a no go menu! What happened to decent village chooses? Please, this menu is more attracted to yuppy city people not visitors or...

Having read a fabulous review, we built the last phase of our Scottish trip around Sunday lunch at the Kinneuchar Inn and we were not disappointed. The village of Kilconquhar is peaceful and picturesque, particularly on a fine summer’s day. We were able to eat...

We visited this restaurant not long after it had opened and were keen to visit again as it was so good. Christmas 2020 was a booking which obviously had to be cancelled then my husband's ill health meant we had to wait until now to...

For the starter we could have gone Mediterranean, Nordic or Modern British . We went for all three. We had the best brindade with radishes, most delicious tender squid, smoked trout with pickled cucumbers. Main course: ox hearts with triple fried chips and rhubarb ketchup,...

We were amazed to stumble upon this gem of a restaurant in a tiny village. This place is run with love, which really shows in the attention put into food. I can't get over how tasty every single dish we ate was: from the fat,...

What would be your perfect eating experience ? The Kinneuchar Inn must come close. Excellent knowledgeable service delivered with humour perfectly balancing informality and professionalism. Local food served simply but with an adventurous slant. The most idyllic village setting. It is in my mind close...

Reluctant to review in case too many people find out what a gem this place is. Every single mouthful was a complete delight. The Nduja scotch eggs were given the accolade of best scotch egg ever eaten by two of the party who, between them,...

Recently visited for dinner while my wife and I were on holiday in Elie (June 2021). The menu, which is quite limited, flattered to deceive. We had a couple of what were termed snacks for starters - bread, olives and pig's head croquettes. The croquettes...

Fantastic food. Good service. Friendly staff. A recommendation from a friend told us this restaurant was a must if we were in the area. It’s probably a 25 minute drive from St.Andrews but worth it in every way. A starter of marinated mackerel with home...

We enjoyed our meal but were irritated by a couple of things. The cafetière for 2 people (£8) was tiny, barely enough for one & a half cups definitely insufficient for two. Bread at £2.50 was one slice (cut in half), ridiculously overpriced. I needed...

Fantastic meal, staff were really attentive and everything we ate was delicious! Dog friendly area as well which was great to sit indoors.

Had an impromptu solo dinner on Friday night. Very welcoming attentive team members. Knowledgeable about the food and wine on offer. Relaxed but elegant decor with beautiful fresh local flowers. Menu concentrating in locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Not over fussy with great flavours and beautiful...

We visited here for lunch and was very impressed by the food and the service. All the arrangements are in place to make it as safe and comfortable as possible. Would highly recommend

We'd heard about the relaunch of the Kinneuchar Inn as a fine dining place but this was our first visit. The staff were excellent and did their best to have a chat with you about the food and what was going on - the waiting...

Zero atmosphere. Very poor meal. Very over rated. Maybe over the winter when the second home squad is away and the holiday makers are gone they will have more traditional fare.....

This was a hidden gem in the wilds of Fife for us southerners - less hidden for my cousin who lives nearby and to whom we are very grateful for the experience. Friendly greeting, fresh interior decor and an intimate home-from-home feel, 8 of us made short work of a set menu. The meal was very competitively priced given the high quality ingredients and beautiful cooking - fine dining at mid range pricing. I was grateful for the limited menu options as I had food envy for absolutely every dish ordered. It had me googling holiday homes for sale nearby...

Was delighted to find that the Inn is open again for meals after the long lockdown. We booked a meal for two and were able to eat inside. The staff were incredibly helpful and had obviously worked out a good regime to cope with the COVID distancing requirement. A set menu is offered and one choses the dishes beforehand. I had a squid salad and plaice cooked to perfection and with a delicious crab sauce. The staff were wonderful and attentive. The food arrived promptly and the two hour slot was more than enough. The Inn had gained a huge reputation in the few short months it was open before COVID and this meal was right up there. It is hard to know how the ongoing pandemic will affect restaurants and pubs but the Inn will surely survive as it is the best in the entire area by far. Well done!

This is a great place. Three of us had lunch in the garden. It was a Greek theme and was utterly delicious. A bit Ottolengi Style which I loved. The beetroot was lovely in particular. The wine list is great too. All the staff are very professional and a quick visit to the loo let me see the inside of the Inn which has been beautifully styled. We will definately be back. Well done guys!

What can I say! Totally fabulous in every way. Attentive staff, wonderful wine menu, incredible food. Welcome back Kinneuchar from the dark days of lockdown. Most importantly I felt safe in this restaurant, just spot on in terms of social distancing and cleanliness. Real attention to detail in everything. We ate on Saturday night to a set menu but which also had plenty of choice. The squid starter was divine with monksbeard and fennel..a real treat and my main course of lamb was full of so much flavour it was wonderful. Topped off with a chocolate mousse and raspberries..a real delight. It must be so hard as a restaurant to manage this difficult transition period following such a major pandemic and I was so happy I have booked again for my birthday in a couple of weeks time. I trust it will be as amazing!

We visiting for the first time on Sunday when Scotland was being blessed with some beautiful sunshine. We sat outside in the courtyard which has been set out really well (lots of space, dog friendly, sanitiser stations, one way system etc.) and had a really great meal. We had plate after plate of absolutely delicious food, some local gins and beers. The seafood is as fresh as you could want and the greek-inspired aubergine flatbread was one of the tastiest things I have had in a long time.I can't wait to get back here - an absolute gem in the East Neuk of Fife.

£45 a head (and that’s just for the food)...restaurant prices. But this is pub food. Very limited choices, which is fine if it’s exceptional. It’s not. At least give a choice of cheese OR pudding. A lot of leeway given at this post Covid time, but come on...the service was kind of hopeless. Chaotic actually. We weren’t allowed a drink outside in case we slowed up the dinner service, but it took 45 minutes for our starter to appear. No time for, and no offer of, tea or coffee at the end of dinner. We left feeling not just thoroughly disappointed but taken advantage of. We’re trying to support local but our locals need to support and look after us too. A total of £80+ a head is a pretty expensive 2 hour night out in rural Fife. NOT value for money in any way.

We really enjoyed having the beautiful Greek dishes in the flower-filled garden, the Aubergine Flatbread is to die for! Friendly and caring service, we look forward to being back once the inside dining space re-opens.

We booked for an early evening meal at 6pm, found ourselves with a couple of hours to kill between finishing our afternoon event and the dinner booking. A welcoming bar with good beer a nice comfortable lounge with a good wood burner allowed us to pass a couple of hours relaxing in peace, pleasant helpful staff who showed us through to our table at 6pm. Small but interesting menu and an interesting specials board. Food was excellent, wine was well priced, service was efficient and the whole meal felt a very pleasurable experience. Well worth a visit and will certainly return. Having had some very ordinary fare on the previous evening at a major hotel chain,and paid just about the same for the meal, there was really no comparison in either quality, value, experience in fact anything, this little place was delightful and certainly deserving of recent plaudits on TV. Thank you.

We were a party of 4 that had dinner here for the first time last night. We will definitely be back. The service and food was excellent. The chicken and ham pie for 2 was a favourite! We also loved the decor, very laidback and tasteful. One other reviewer spoke about the noise . The dining room is quite small and therefore a bit noisy but for us this added to the atmosphere and was not a problem. Looking forward to our next visit.

My son Ian Marshall had been raving about this restaurant. So whole family went along for my birthday & it certainly did not disappoint. Food was excellent, staff were lovely & yes it’s not cheap. But it is great value for money, we’ll defiantly be back.

Puzzled at the great reviews. Menu choice OK at best. Hake and chick peas not great. Anchovies seemed scarce or missing. A very heavy main. Maybe the evenings are better. May return but would check menu on Web Site. Value poor.

Great little find, perhaps needing a few further refinements. Our meal was good and the menu offered a good choice. Perhaps the best being the special dessert -clementine st Clements- small but lovely. Game broth with tortellini was tasty but pasta a little tough. The mutton tasty and filling if rather “rustic” in presentation? Staff welcoming and very friendly and baby facilities excellent for a small establishment Overall well worth a visit if you’re in the area but we were left wondering if the 1.5hr drive there and 2.5hr drive back (A92 closed by an accident) made it a bit too much of a trek. Will be a definite hit for the spring and summer visitors to nearby Elie

Had been eagerly anticipating our meal for a while after seeing the incredible reviews, and it did not disappoint. Wonderful service- on arrival we instantly felt welcome and were about to experience something special. That continued throughout. Menu was exciting and innovative, we had the mussels and charcuterie for starters then the pork chop and special mince and patties for main. The mussels are cooked in a cider and n'duja sauce- fresh and full of flavour. The charcuterie and pickled accoutrements are created in house and you can tell. These went down very well with an expertly made bloody mary and negroni. The following mains were excellent- very generous portions... just wish I had been able to finish! After our meal we moved through to the snug for a glass of cremant and had the pleasure of speaking to one of the owners. What a wonderful job they have done. They clearly have such a passion for food and a tireless motivation for hospitality! Cannot wait to return.

I had heard good reports of the Kinneuchar Inn but it did not live up to expectations. It was so noisy that conversation was difficult. We asked the waitress various questions about the Specials board but we could not hear her replies.I would have liked some bread with my starter but there was none offered.The vegetables were very disappointing and the main course which I had was also disappointing. The ambiance was quite good but the whole experience was not.

Went in for a drink. Old on the outside new on the inside. nice wood burner so cosy. We were the only two in the bar the restaurant next door was very busy with lovely smells emanating. Felt a bit out of it not much atmosphere staff noticable by there absence.

Having read some amazing reviews of the Kinneuchar Inn, we decided to chance our luck when we happened to be nearby. We hoped we could get at least a bar snack, but were welcomed warmly, shown to a lovely table in the cozy bar and offered the full menu. We decided we didn’t want a huge lunch so ordered lots of starters and bar snacks — and ended up having a big lunch! Even the little things are amazing - the bread and butter would be a meal in itself. Piping hot artichoke soup; scrumptious and mustardy Welsh rarebit (which did not need the extra Worcestershire sauce that was offered); and a phenomenal dish of leeks in a warm parsley/caper sauce with some soft-boiled eggs . And then for added gluttony, a bowl of the crispiest, tastiest “pork skin” aka crackling straws — we ordered a bowl, as did one other nearby table. The other big table in the bar took one look and ordered their own bowl. (I was quite thirsty the rest of the afternoon but that’s more than compensated by the deliciousness of the dish!) We resisted dessert and will save that treat for the next visit when perhaps we’ll try the main restaurant. Compared with London prices for similar quality, the Kinneuchar Inn offers exceptional value for money. The atmosphere is calm and cozy; the loos are the best and cleanest of any restaurant in Fife! I can’t wait to return! It really does live up to the hype!

This is an old country pub in a small village which has been reborn as an exceptional small restaurant - but still retaining its character as a local inn. The food is creative and beautifully cooked, the welcome and service is both warm and very efficient. This is a destination worthy of a special visit.

We went for lunch en route from Edinburgh to St Andrews...well worth the detour. There were 4 in our party, and every different dish we had was just superb. Food is delicious and unpretentious, service warm, friendly and informal. A very pleasant way to spend a winter afternoon.

Lunch as a birthday treat. Ambience,food and service superb. Not your traditional pub food but great to try something different at a reasonable price.

The newly refurbished and recently reopened Inn has very quickly become a firm favourite in the East Neuk of Fife. This quiet little village is off the beaten track but well worth the effort to find it.

We weren’t the first, and we won’t be the last, to visit based on the rave Sunday Times review, but we’re so glad we made the trip up from London before word gets out about how fantastic this place is. It’s clear that a lot of love (and money) has been poured into the renovation of this old pub - the place is full of beautiful hand crafted pieces, and everything feels sumptuous and cosy in a quietly luxurious way. How a pub should be!

This is a new restaurant that opened a few months ago and my wife and I visited it for the first time on Friday 20th Dec, staff were very friendly, place was busy and had a good atmosphere with plenty of room for diners comfort and you could chat and be heard without being crowded or drowned out by overall noise.

Fantastic meal. The menu changes daily I think, but we had starters of Jerusalem Artichoke + Goats Curd (fantastic), home-smoked sea trout (also lovely) and mains of Roe Venison (wow, perfect) and a huge, whole lemon sole, all beautifully cooked. We were pretty full by then, but finished off with homemade ice cream - Malt for me, Bramley Apple sorbet for my wife. We found the prices reasonable for this level of cooking - there might be 3-4 restaurants in Fife cooking to this standard, so Kinneuchar Inn has quickly joined the best in our wee Kingdom; and I think within that group it is probably the least expensive (and least formal as well, a good thing in my book). We spent £79 for 2, including wine, but I had the most expensive thing on the menu (the whole lemon sole), so it would've been easy to spend £10 less, or to spend the same for larger appetites.

An excellent meal and beer during our recent stay in Kilconquhar.

Visited here with my husband, son and my parents for Sunday lunch. Upon first appearance the restaurant has been transformed and looks beautiful however once we were presented with the small menus we quickly realised our initial excitement was to be short lived. The menu consisted of skate wing, pheasant, artichoke, lamb, pheasant and trotter pie. To accompany any of these random options you could also purchase a limited choice of potato and veg for a very over inflated price. We waited 40 minutes for our food and when it did arrive it was extremely disappointing with strange and unusual tastes. All in all an overly pretentious, over priced and small portioned restaurant. Bring back the good old pub food, that’s what people want...

Watching tv a couple of weeks ago, we saw a piece on Kinneuchar Inn and decided to book for Sunday lunch! The Inn has been tastefully modernised and the menu whilst short was excellent with everything we had being exceptionally tasty! Service was friendly and efficient and the value for money was great! Not sure I should be recommending as I don’t want our “find” to get too busy, but judging by the steady flow of happy customers the “secret” is already out!

Decor smart, a bit spartan but the food more than compensates.

After a long wait to be reopened it was worth waiting for. Went last night and had a lovely meal.
