Mitchell Deli in Fife

Fantastic lunch had by the both of us. Our server Eden was welcoming and friendly. Service was quick and very professional. The coffee from Noah was delicious, I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a lovely lunch date. Perfect.

Coffee from Noah was excellent, came out very hot and quick, the food was great and service was good, especially our server, Eden, she was lovely and very friendly. I loved their xmas decorations, I will visit again.

Lovely place to visit. We loved the Xmas decorations. Cake was tasty and service was good. Eden and Noah were really friendly and looked after us so well.

Went with some family. The food was amazing, the service received by Eden was amazing helped me with choosing the best option for me, the coffee and food was absolutely the best in St Andrews would be coming back when i can!!!.

Great service lovely food brought from Eden. Would recommend and visit again. Good atmosphere and ambiance. Good coffee from Noah 👍

We walked past here today but unfortunately we had already eaten. I just wanted to say how beautiful the shop looked outside and had to take a picture. The food looked lush and the atmosphere looked like a scene from a book.

We were served by Thya and we had a pleasant time. The atmosphere is warm, and the dishes are varied and very good. Thya even welcomed us with very good French and recommended some places to visit in St Andrews.

Dog friendly ! There is a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian options. Although we didn’t have booking the staff quickly provided us with a table. Quite popular spot in the Main Street of our town.

We visited on 15th August 2024 - an early supper. Our server Noah looked after us very well. He was attentive but not intrusive and responded to our needs with good humour and courtesy. Congratulations Noah - you made a (good) difference to our evening. Food was good as it usually is - we live locally so visit often.

35 mins for brunch to arrive when the restaurant was quiet. Hot drinks long finished before food arrived. 2 out of 3 brunches severely burnt (eg black sausages, leather-like bacon and tomatoes & toast burnt), but served to us nevertheless. The ambience/feel of the restaurant is nice and location convenient but unfortunately the food (ex cakes) is generally underwhelming. Shame really.

Lovely breakfast at Mitchells before attending the Scottish Womens Open Golf. Great choice of breakfast options and lovely coffee. All served by Iona who was very pleasant and very customer friendly.

Siamo capitati per caso in questo locale per il pranzo, offerta classica e tipica del territorio. Ottimo servizio al tavolo, un po’ lento il servizio per il cibo, per mangiare abbiamo dovuto aspettare 30 minuti. Il cibo comunque è buono.

This is a great spot and have visited before , disappointing experience today , we were seated around 11.20 , waitress was really nice and pleasant , we had a toddler with us , when we ordered we waited 40 mins for eggs B and sourdough toast so our child was on 1 with the long wait and although the food was presented lovely and it tasted great it was on the cold side so it was probably sitting . Don’t let this put you off a visit but this is an honest review in hope it is better for others .

Food was good, service a little slow but nice polite, helpful people. Nice atmosphere. Visited for lunch. There was a mixed clientele families, freshers, tourists and oldies too.

The breakfast was a nice combination of food. However, the fried egg was cold which was disappointing. The coffee was good and the staff pleasant.

The food is painfully ordinary, but there are dishes that are difficult to eat, the service is nice, you can satisfy your hunger here, but nothing more.

Outstanding fish and chips, daily menu pork belly was great too (super crispy roast potatoes although quite oily). Perhaps a little pricey for fish and chips but we would return anyway. The chunky chips were excellent and our waiter was very attentive!

We've come here often but yesterday found the standard had slipped considerably. Not enough staff, one vegan option which was a burger with fries served without garnish. There is a lot of competition in St Andrews so doubt if we will be back.

We visited for brunch as we had seen that this place offered an array of options for gluten free. We could not believe that the full breakfast was available fully gluten free. Such a delight. We had to double check with our server who had helped us the whole way, his name was Regan and he was great. We still can’t believe how much was available. The food was delicious and came as a large serving. Another great point for this place is they are very dog friendly! We will need to come back for the evening and sample the other menu as I have high hopes it will be just as good if not better!

Atmosphere good. That’s where it ended. ASIC hamburger with chips turned up 30 minutes later, both were cold. Plenty of staff on the floor but no one bringing the food out. Suggest you don’t go here… so disappointing.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Mitchell’s, especially the service provided by all the staff especially Regan! Regan was super friendly and provided us with excellent service. Thanks

We made an impromptu stop in St. Andrew’s while road tripping around Scotland. The hostess Kaelah was able to find us a table despite the restaurant being quite busy and us not having a booking. Food was all delicious!

What a lovely place! Thanks to Frankie and the rest of the staff for the excellent service and taking great care of us even though it was pretty busy (maybe call ahead if you're going for lunch to avoid disappointment). We were tired and our youngest family member was getting a little stressed while we dithered on where to go. I found this randomly on Google maps and we made a bee line for it. So glad we did! Sat in this wonderful deli, surrounded by beautiful plants - also for sale - we ate and drank a delicious lunch that satisfied a slightly fussy family of 5 (inc. 2 vegans and a 9 yr old).

a nice place. good staff. that's it 😂. We waited a long time for the order. and when we receive it. everything was cold. even cappuccino. I didn't like the food. maybe good for cocktails 🤗sorry🥴

The food was OK but overpriced and the service... "absolute car crash" - as someone put it in an earlier comment - sums it up perfectly. We waited terribly long for drinks as well as food, the Buddha bowl was a joke (the crispy tofu was actually soggy), the salad was soaked in a weird mayo sauce, there were no pickles in the pastrami sandwich and so on and so forth. Never again.

Mitchel’s in St Andrews chilled atmosphere . Lovely Bloody Mary’s and Iona was a very attentive server :) Other cocktails looked good too and not over priced .

Absolutely lovely place for breakfast. The interior is beautiful, staff were very friendly and the fod was very nice. I would definitely recommend the banana french toast! Delicious. I would also say the toilets were also very clean when I was there.

Fantastic lunch, great service, amazing burger and just lovely! (Thanks Eden) Nice atmosphere not imposing but quite private (we could hear each other whilst we chatted

This was an incredible place for a traditional breakfast. The ambiance was simply perfect. Our whole family loved it. Our server Frankie was so nice and made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend stopping by.

Lovely stop on our st andrews day trip! Thanks to Eden for lovely and friendly service.

Delicious veggie breakfast, coffee and great service. So good we came twice in a row!

Mitchells Fantabulous brunch!! Steak and eggs was sufficient as it had both steak and a single egg (a bit misleading as menu says eggS - plural). The steak was a bit fatty and the hash brown a bit cold. Drinks were lovely I really appreciated the tea flavored cocktails! Disappointed to find out that this seemingly kitschy and homey establishment is owned by the Scotsman Group which is a soul-sucking corporation. totally ruined my appetite. however the meal was scrumdiddlyumptious and we will be returning for friday morning brunch as long as we live.

Staff were very nice and friendly. However the breakfast took 50 minutes to arrive from ordering. The coffee was good but what was shocking was that the ‘toast’ had not even been toasted properly and on the homemade beans dish, the beans were definitely your regular out of the tin type. A fact which was not communicated at all when ordered and it really looked like the kitchen staff had given up with some half-melted cheese thrown on top.

Had a brunch with my wife, service was friendly but brunch disappointing. All overcooked. As for the atmosphere, the room gradually cleared as a big party was expected and the one remaining woman, on the next table,spoke continuously in a loud voice on her phone. We will not be returning.

Relaxed vibe, staff customer service was excellent, breakfast was great.

Busy time make them too greedy. In the period of the university graduations they are trying to bite far more than they can chew. With pre-ordered set menu they still could not manage it. Food quality was below average. Strawberry tart was the only decent course. Timing was poor. Staff was friendly enough.

Came here for the mid-week Steak Night which seemed like a good deal. However the steak was sinewy and worst of all tasteless. I get the impression most of the diners were one-time tourists not repeat customers. I won't be returning either - disappointing.

Cozy place, great coffee, exceptional carrot cake. Friendly staff. If you visit St. Andrew, you must visit this place!

We had a delicious meal here on 27th April. Atmosphere was great, lovely venue and Kaelah was super attentive and friendly. Would recommend!

What an absolute car crash! And so disappointing as it was a joint birthday meal. From the moment we walked in the service and attention to detail was beyond poor. So first question why ask on your booking information if it’s a special occasion then fail to acknowledge it? We tried to unpack that one later on but had the ‘we are a chain- info not passed on’ card played. Here’s some feedback - don’t ask if it means nothing to you. By asking you raise the customer’s expectations. Finally seated and given the menu. No offer of any additional info. We Order drinks. Waiter then wants to take the order still no additional info on menu like what is the cut of the day? Given ‘cut of the day’ is the first thing on the menu I’d think it’s a pretty big deal. So we ask what the cut of the day is. Waiter returns and tells us the special is bolognaise. I’m literally like what??? So again we asked him what is the cut of the day? Answer- there isn’t one. And also there’s no minute steak. I can only assume he’d been told to try and fudge the answer. So literally if you’ve come here expecting a cut of the day or steak of any sort there is none!! So we take this disappointment on the chin and go about ordering what IS available to us. My husband orders creamy garlic mushrooms and me a goats cheese salad. Mine - bog standard - something I could have thrown together from Tesco. Cheap iceberg lettuce and no other type of salad leaves. My husband had ordered creamy mushrooms - well omg!! Dry as a bone. No cream at all as you can see in the photo. A pile of dried up mushrooms. At this point I’d had enough. Challenged the waiter on the lack of cream. Told that was just the way they came. Literally he was practically horizontal. Asked to speak to a manager. Manager arrives. Listens to the whole story, tries to blame it on inexperienced staff and ignores the additional point of the kitchen and lack of ingredients. So she chooses only to deal with the starter issue. She comes back and tells us the chef said the mushrooms had been cooked in cream it just wasn’t visible now. Seriously you’re having a laugh. I’m thinking I’m being punked by now. Someone is gonna come out and have a laugh at our expense. Mains arrive. Hallelujah. Fish and chips for the teen celebrating his end of module exams is good. My pork belly nice bit with only one haggis Bon Bon when menu says plural. My husband’s burger - inedible! He described it like cardboard. Seriously- a burger. How bad can you go wrong. Basically told the waiting staff on clearing the table he wasn’t paying for it, it was that bad. Given our experience what discount do they apply to to the overall experience? Basically NOTHING!! They took the burger off and failed to even acknowledge how bad our overall experience had been for what should have been an amazing family night out. I am beyond disgusted. We holiday in St Andrews multiple times a year. There is plenty of choice and we won’t be returning here for sure. An absolute disgrace from food to ingredients to service.

No choice left, went through 4 things, didn't have any other left, which is a large chunk off the menu. Revisiting.. Really like the decor and atmosphere of this place.. But..!! Last time I visited this place, some 3 years, ago they had run out of nearly all choices, this time, again atmosphere is great, live local singer, great.. Waiter, bless him didn't have much of a clue! Didn't understand when we said our choices unless we pointed at it, no small hit chat to make us feel welcome, taking empty plate away when other person hadn't finished, may be new, but not much of a clue. Also I was disappointed by main meal size, had sea bass, it was really small size and not much veg either.. For £21 thought it was well overpriced. My daughter's mushroom starter was nearly cold.

My favourite place in St Andrews, staff are lovely and the restaurant is so cosy. Luxury oat milk hot chocolate is the best I've had anywhere 😊

My son had the pork belly and it was awful, full of fat and grit, must say good singer was on but the food wasn't warm enough and I wouldn't rush back !

Visited Mitchell eatery in St Andrew’s today . The service provided by Courtney was exceptional. Food was delicious and we would highly recommend eating here . Thank you to Courtney, such a lovely person. Next time will will try a scone!🙂

We booked last minute as we wanted a nice spot to eat dinner and we are very glad we came here. The service was great, the staff were really friendly and the food was excellent! Possibly the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. There was live music and the singer was brilliant, we really enjoyed our night and would recommend.

the establishment provides an inviting ambience complemented by Olivia’s commendable service, making it a desirable destination for a repeat visit.

Great service from Olivia. The food was delivered swiftly and piping hot. Lovely Scottish breakfast with high quality ingredients.

Courtney was such a lovely person and apologised for service even though the service was very good, it was just busy and they had a lot to do. Food was delicious and atmosphere great

Very mediocre breakfast, we were a party of three and all ordered the full breakfast, wait staff a little lack lustre but not rude, we all had eggs with the breakfast, 1 poached which was hard, 1 fried like rubber and 1 scrambled which was the best of the three, some of the breakfast items weren’t cooked enough, some over cooked and the only item cooked well was the bacon and hash brown, beans were cold in ramekins and out of the three toasts one wasn’t even toasted, we were offered a reheat of the beans and fresh toast but it just wasn’t worth it as the general breakfast was poor, whoever was in the kitchen needs to work on there timings. We also had coffee and neither of the hot coffees was hot enough, this was a celebration breakfast for my daughter so other than letting them know the beans were cold and toast not cooked, I didn’t want to make a big deal of the poor cooking, I won’t come back and I don’t recommend this restaurant to others as just wasn’t worth the money we paid.

Honestly, I'm shocked that they get away with putting out such low-quality food at such high prices. Several times now I have ordered sandwiches from them, and there's barely anything there between slices of half-toasted cheap white bread. Just now I ordered a chicken club sandwich—there was almost no chicken and a tiny slop of egg salad on three soggy pieces of white bread. Possibly the saddest sandwich I've ever had. Several times now I have promised myself "never again", but have ended up getting dragged there by others. This time, though, I mean it. The service is fine—the waitresses are sweet and this isn't their fault.

Staff were amazing! Food was fantastic. Went for a Mother’s Day afternoon tea. And it was made very special. The speciality cocktails are fantastic also!

Came here yesterday evening for dinner with my family and had a great dining experience. Lovely chilled out and relaxed atmosphere thanks to the wonderful service and friendliness provided by Kaelah. AND my daughter loved decorating her egg for Easter Sunday!!! Thanks and rest assured we’ll be making a b-line back here when we’re back in St. Andrew’s!!!

On holiday in St Andrews we were in the town centre and decided to go for a coffee. We chose to go into Mitchell’s. We waited to be seated and we’re left waiting and when we sat at a table we waited around 20 mins to place an order and not one person took notice of us this was anything bar good customer service as eventually we decided enough was enough and Walked out without being able to order anything and ended up going to the best place for value which was Greggs!

Absolute must if in St Andrews food was amazing and the best server ever kaelah who gave us the best dining experience in a long time highly recommend

Great lunch here today with young family. Made to feel very welcome. Well positioned in St Andrews - great quality food and excellent service.

Awesome meal. Big Forgans fan and this wee spot out fromt does not disappoint. Menu perfectly sized with great options all well executed. Lovely spot with great atmosphere. Really well looked after by Iona after walked in on spec. Couldn’t have asked more of the team and would recommend this to anyone visiting St Andrews. 5 stars plus plus!

Had a great time at the class hosted by the lovely Ruth. The event was tucked away up in the Hide, which is a great space for small private functions. We got to make 2 cocktails from the list supplied and came with a nice deli board (all ingredients were delicious). We all had a great night with great service. I would highly recommend this class!

Such a shame as we thought we had found the perfect place for food. We had to wait 50 minutes for even a drink to arrive, the burger was burnt (dry and black on the edges), the gluten free sandwich was on normal bread so was sent back (another long delay), the poached egg was hard and cold.

Cocktail masterclass was great fun. Really enjoyed making (and trying) the cocktails with a deli board to keep us going. Definitely recommend for small groups. Many thanks to Ruth for being such a wonderful host.

Popped in for dinner on our anniversary and could not have enjoyed our meal more. Live entertainment added to the relaxed atmosphere, with fab service!

My friend and I had lunch at Mitchell's on Saturday and generally found it a bit of a let down, and overpriced for how the food was. We were seated quickly and the service was all fine, but the food and drink was lacking. My friend had a tumeric latte which was unlike anything either of us have ever tasted when having other turmeric lattes. Alongside the tumeric flavour was a very unpleasant herby and oily taste - unsure of exactly what was in it but it was not good at all! We both ordered the club sandwiches and agreed for the price and it being sold by a deli, the bread was pretty disappointing - it was like cheap sliced white bread. The chicken was pretty sparse considering that's usually the main element of a club sandwich, and it wasn't particularly flavourful either. I'd normally expect a club to be served toasted and warm but they were fairly minimally toasted and cold. I think they'd been sat out a while, especially since I asked for mine with no tomatoes and there was clearly small remnants of tomatoes in some of my sandwiches (I wonder if perhaps the kitchen staff had just picked the tomatoes out of one that was already sat ready to go?). We did agree that the chips served with the sandwiches were excellent and my iced coffee was good too. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and the woman who served us was great, and the atmosphere is very nice too. In hindsight I wish we'd brought up the issues at the time, but the food was of the sort where it wasn't great but it also wasn't outrageously bad and we were hungry for our lunch, so we just ate it all and accepted it. I leave this review in the hope that the management can take something from it, however having had a look at some of the other reviews on here it seems similar issues have been raised often but mustn't have been getting dealt with.

Just back from an amazing dinner at Mitchell’s, was up north visiting family and fell upon this little gem. All staff are VERY attentive and the food is delicious. 10/10

Staff lovely but no Howard? The staff honestly were great, did not think my main course was worth the money, sea bass one little fish, it was lovely but as my husband said wow ur finished!!! He had the haddock which he said was well...

On a whim, booked Mitchell's for a Valentines Dinner. Two beef choices from the limited menu were not available. This only came to light when it was time to order, resulting in one of as having to order something else at short notice. Not having...

Very nice food. Kind staff. But the baked beans were all cold. Vegetarian haggis was fabulous.

Went to Mitchell’s for Valentines dinner and Howard took a very nice picture of us. Very nice staff. Very good dinner. Very nice aesthetic. Highly recommend.

Spending Valentines with the Mrs at Mitchels. Excellent service, excellent food, and a perfect time. I recommend the steak. Server Howard was lovely, took our picture and kept making us laugh. Also love his moustache.

Gorgeous atmosphere and super kind staff. Thank you for such a great experience

We went here for dinner last night and it didn’t appear to be full. They didn’t have the starter I had asked for so I chose soup which I was told was two different types, and then given one which wasn’t either of them. From the outset the service was very slow, the waiter did apologise and kept giving updates on when we would expect our food which was extended continuously. It was over an hour before we got our main course. Any time you tried to get attention he avoided our gaze, which when we finally were given the bill he actually acknowledged he had avoided us because he was having brain fog, and complained about the job from start to finish. When the bill came he had taken two glasses of wine off the bill in view of our lengthy wait. We did feel sorry for the staff so we asked if we could round up for a tip. Before this could be done he said he forgot to add his service charge, which to be honest we thought was quite cheeky after the whole ordeal. The food was good as were the drinks, but the service ruined it completely. We were upstairs and half of the customers were all speaking to each other about how slow the service was and how they too were being ignored, so it wasn’t just us.

Super accueil, très belle endroit, nous avons passer un bon moment. La nourriture étais bonne , super découverte, je recommande

Had a great lunch in this restaurant. Service from Howard was quick efficient and very friendly. Good choice of food on menu. We all chose something different and each dish was good quality and thoroughly enjoyable. Would definitely return again and recommend.

Found this place after a long day travelling in the car to St Andrews. We had an e evening meal with drinks. I had the meatballs, and my partner had the Shepherds pie. Both were very well presented & flavoursome. The atmosphere was very good...

Good food and great service from Howard

I enjoyed the coffee, the service was lovely. The GF Chocolate cake wasn't so good. The cake's texture was very much like a box cake mixture. The frosting's was very gritty with sugar. I would have thought the lovely restaurant, Mitchell's would have a better quality of desserts. I was disappointed.

Very disappointing lunch. Service painfully slow and once the food did arrive, 45 mins after ordering, we wished it hadn’t. The ‘grilled cheese’ was greasy and, well, under-grilled. The club sandwich was soggy, tasteless and generally tragic. The only upside was that they gave us a discount on the bill and they made a half-decent mocha. Our waitress was apologetic and pleasant but overall it must’ve been a bad day in the kitchen!

Great place for lunch in St Andrews - Excellent food and top class service from Howard. His pepper grinding skills are second to none. Thanks for an excellent lunch and afternoon tea.

We had dinner on our first nights stay in St Andrews. The staff are all very nice and can’t do enough for you. One of us had the Indian taster menu and the other two ate from the main menu. The food was great. The...

Lovely place. Food , I would say was pub like but nice all the same. We had burger and chips that was excellent. Howard , our server, was a character, and definitely an asset to the restaurant. The Manager, who help us with taxi numbers, was nice too. We'll worth a visit.

What a delightful spot, beginning with the outdoor decor of flowers and plants, and the lovely rustic indoors. As new locals to the area we have been a few times, but today met Howard who gave us the top rate service, along with a laugh...

All the staff are lovely - SPECIAL shoutout to Howard who goes out of his way to make customers happy. :) Great energy in the restaurant - good music at the right level. Looking forward to trying their themed dinners - Mexican coming up sounds...

Cute shop, staff were nice (it was quiet) but the food wasn't great. Grilled cheese was greasy - it was melted cheese on soft bread, as we're the fries. The vegetarian soup that was served with the sandwich was a broth, which isn't a pairing I would go for normally. It wasnt exactly cheap either.

We went here for Xmas dinner. Table was booked for 4 yet the doors didn't open until 4-15. Not the best start. Things did improve as our waitress was super friendly, even though she read back our pre-order to us and it was completely wrong. Soup for starters was amazing, mains could have been hotter and pudding was good. Would come back to try again.

Thank you to Howard for making our friends birthday lunch so special. The cake and singing happy birthday was a lovely surprise. Food was lovely and service was great.

My favorite restaurant in St Andrews. One of the best steaks I've ever had.

Had lunch near new year. Felt the menu slightly limited to brunch type food. It was delicious. All our table enjoyed our food. Service was efficient and friendly. Will be back soon, possibly evening time.

Went here for drinks on the 1st January. Service from Howard was excellent. Cakes etc looked delicious will definitely be back to try.

Wonderful atmosphere and fantastic service from Howard ( the pepper grinder) . We had a lovely time and highly recommend to anyone looking for nice food and service. And very doggy friendly 😊

Great lunch Howard’s outgoing personality made a great lunch and service. Staff very helpful to accomodate my daughter who can be a fussy eater.

Popped in when the place was very full and the woman was very happy to try and slot us in for a table 20 minutes later. After a quick look at the shops we were shown to out table and was met with the best...

Three reasons the Mitchell was a good random choice for lunch: 3) Food was great (delicious Fish n Chips) 2) Atmosphere was great. 1) Howard our “Pepper Grinder” server was hilarious, knowledgeable and such fun. Made the experience memorable.

Not enough staff on, staff that were on were lovely. Food ok....took an age to come and they forgot our puddings. I don't know what's happened to this restaurant and next door! Both used to be a treat. Won't be back even if it's getting...

Very disappointed with our Christmas Lunch at Mitchell’s in 25th December. It cost £49.95 per person. We were on the second sitting and staff seemed a little bit frayed. We arrived a wee bit early and they took us through to a holding bar table...

We went for Christmas Dinner and it was AMAZING. The food was delicious. The staff were really friendly and attentive especially Gracie and Noah.

Today we had Christmas lunch. It was absolutely delicious. We were waited on by Howard who was great fun, very entertaining, efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Ask for Howard, he made the day very special.

Very nice service! Especially Howard was very helpful! Thanks a lot for this perfect lunch Howard! Your the best!

Loved this spot! Stopped in for lunch while visiting St. Andrews - food was great and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend for brunch or lunch!

Annual Christmas lunch with my kids at Mitchell’s after some gentle shopping in St Andrews. Food fine and top service from The Pepper grinder himself ,Howard Davis, As always a relaxing happy Christmas event.

This is a fantastic wee gem of a place with the most amazing staff. We had lunch and the quality of the food was great as was the atmosphere. This is a very friendly restaurant. Our visit was made extra special by our waiter, Howard...

Brunch was fab and the staff outstanding! Today we went for brunch with my baby who is weaning, which is sometimes a challenge but Gracie and Ruth went out their way to make sure she was catered for. They went well and truly above and...

Loved the place, breakfast was so good, staff was very friendly, it was super cozy inside
