Great pub and lovely decor etc. Amazing Sunday roast and never have one but the Chocolate and Guinness cake caught my eye. Amazing. Staff very friendly especially Susie who gets loads of feedback lol and rightly so. She's customer service 20 star. Also a mention for Gordon the chef 👌 Can't fault a thing. Super clean loos too. We were going to bring our 2 dogs but decided to have a break however when booking was not an issue.

We had such a great stay in one of the lovely rooms at The Boar's Head to celebrate our anniversary! The room itself was beautifully decorated with so many nice features and a lovely comfy bed for a great night's sleep. We really appreciated all the touches that made the room so comfortable - including comfy armchairs, a Nespresso coffee machine, complimentary dram of whisky, and a well-stocked mini bar. The beautiful shower room had a rainfall shower, fancy toiletries, and bathrobes. Every staff member we met was so friendly and accommodating. Knowing it was our anniversary, they'd even prepared a tasty plate of chocolates for us! Breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious and served in their restaurant where the fire was on and jazz playing in the background - what a great way to start the day! I had the most luxurious fruit salad with yoghurt, while my husband had what he said was the "best ever porridge" served with homemade jam, double cream, and oat crumble - these were "pre-breakfast" (what a great concept!). For the main breakfast we both went for the tripple stack of pancakes served with brown butter, maple syrup, whipped butter, and bacon (the kitchen kindly swapped bacon to homemade jam for my vegetarian version). The restaurant's main menu is just as delicious. We had a gorgeous dinner there the night before. There's such care and attention put into every dish, including the vegetarian options. They clearly use high quality ingredients and the dishes are creative and really tasty. We checked out very happy, well-rested, well-fed, and ready to enjoy a lovely walk at the nearby Falkland Estate. We'll definitely be back for another luxury stay at this beautiful boutique hotel and restaurant in Fife! And will recommend it to our friends, too.

This was our first visit to the Boar’s Head. We were warmly welcomed in by Suzie (waitress) who was cheery and helpful throughout. We had our young and excitable dog with us and Suzie made sure she was welcome too. We had the 3 course lunch and the food was first class. Smoked trout rillette and cauliflower tempura with carrot romesco and hazelnuts to start. Seafood linguine and white bean and miso stew with wild garlic gremolata and cavolo nero for the mains. Coffee and amaretto parfait and rhubarb and custard pavlova to finish. Everything was beautifully cooked and delicious. Can’t wait to visit again.

The food was delicious the waiting staff were excellent the ambience in the restaurant was lovely but the quantity of food on the plates was varied due to what was chosen. I would say that some portion sizes almost represented a taster style menu. I felt that what was being charged per dish seemed not to equate to quantity on the plates. I'm not expecting overflowing plates of food but enough to feel satisfied when coming to the end of whatever course that I am having. The photographs on your web page I feel gave a false representation of what we were to receive when visiting the restaurant.

Had a wonderful meal between Christmas and New Year. Suzy who served us was brilliant - great service, really attentive and even shared the recipe for the lovely Scottish Garden cocktail I had. We had the scallops, smoked trout, sirloin steak and venison. All was really stunning but the chicken skin crumb on the scallops made them the best I’d ever tasted. It was busy (rightly a very popular spot) but the service was prompt and all of the team were really welcoming. Amazing to find somewhere that is dog friendly with such great food, setting and staff. We will be back!

Went along to The Boar's Head for Sunday Lunch (4 people + 1 dog). The restaurant area is nice and cosy, exactly what you'd expect from a good pub. The food was fantastic, really simple and well cooked with good, local ingredients. Suzie our server was great and we couldn't fault the service - really attentive without being too fussy.

We went to Boar's Head restaurant last week for a traditional Sunday roast. We are discovering local places and we were really impressed by this one. The location is lovely, in the evening hours the area looks like some shots from Outlander (and actually is not far from an actual Outlander's filming village of Falkland). The restaurant itself is cosy, warm and just feels right for Small Scottish village. They have real fire! Food? Delicious! Beef was tender, veggies were perfectly cooked. They didn't overcooked a single piece of greens. Top notch! (There's nothing worse than overcooked vegetables which are served in most of the places). The chef know what he's doing. Horseradish sauce was so good I had to ask for second portion. And on top of that we had a cherry on top - the service! Suzy and Ross! Can't remember the last time I was so impressed by service. They are so good at what they do. They make you feel homely, welcome. You know these type of people that you just met but you feel like they're your long time friends? That's them! Suzy answered all my questions, making my choice of roast easy and straightforward. Ross made me fantastic nonalcoholic amaretto sour, and we chatted about the Scottish whisky and it's geographic characteristics for good few minutes. Again! Right people to do these jobs. #localdiscovery #braw #feedmyface #whatayorkshirepudding #omnomnom Will definitely visit again!

Staff were perfect, polite and well trained. From reading some of the reviews which are negative about this establishment is really surprising as I had and amazing experience.

Having visited this establishment on two previous occasions for Sunday roasts which were very good, I booked it again for a family visit for my wife's birthday.On arrival, there was long waiting times to be served. As it was busy, I understood this although it was a bit frustrating. After the starter was finished, another long delay waiting on the main course which was for Sunday roasts and one burger for my grandson. The roasts were lovely although very small portions. I noticed my grandson stopped eating his burger and left the table to go outside. I turned his plate around and saw that the burger was bright red and raw under the surface. I called over the waitress and showed her this raw meat burger which had not been properly cooked. She took the plate away back to the kitchen. The rest of the party finished their roast beef meals and by this time my grandson had returned to the table. I caught the attention of another waitress serving(possibly the owner). I explained again what had happened and informed her that we had all finished our meals and yet there was no replacement burger for my grandson. She went away to the kitchen and came back with a new burger and some chips. This time it was properly cooked and we all sat about waiting on him eating his burger and chips main course (which was £32 including the soup starter that was also left). There was no offer of a discount or no charge for this grossly overpriced burger and chips. I paid the bill and we left the premises extremely disappointed with this visit with what was supposed to be a happy birthday occasion. I am afraid that the Boar's Head have let themselves down quite badly with their poor cooking and greedy attitude.

A picture says more than a thousand words. These are the remainders of a piece of meat which is sold as ‘Special Beef’. The eatable bit tasted like an overcooked pork chop. No price listed on the menu, but the invoice showed a whopping 38 pounds, 50% more than the most expensive dish with a price on the menu. But the feeling of a rip-off already started with the 3.5 pound for the appr. 10 almonds as a first bite. Or the grey-green duck liver pate, which was throwed on a plate with some greasy bread. And no, a ‘discount’ of 8 pounds for the terrible meat didn’t change things. The only star is for the friendly service, but that is no reason to visit this place.

Anyone who doesn't give this place 5 stars is absolutely not worth your time or the light of day. We went here on Sunday 15th September for the 3 course menu for £38 per person and it was just an utterly incredible meal. We booked because it was my birthday weekend but we already knew about The Boar's Head from the recent Courier Food and Drink Awards where they were rightly crowned as Restaurant Of The Year! We also work in hospitality and have owned licensed cafes for 10 years, so we know how things work and how hard it is right now for anyone in the business in 2024. The team here know exactly what they are doing and - MOST IMPORTANTLY - they know who their customer base is and they make their customers feel special when thay are on the premises. Without those two things it's just not going to work. Thank goodness for like-minded hospo people that know how to make local, seasonal ingredients taste their best for a price that doesn't bankrupt you and leave you feeling cheated. The portions are huge, the service is friendly and extremely well timed, the price is spot on, the quality is exceptional and the flavour is out of this world. Book now because fairly soon they are going to be working to a waiting list so get in first before it's unobtainable. #highlyrecommended

Really one of the best meals I have had for a long time. Food was top notch with locally sourced ingredients. Lovely, helpful and friendly staff who really knew their stuff. The chef went above and beyond to tweak the menu so that my mother’s food intolerances didn’t interfere with her experience. I only wish I didn’t live 400 miles away and could visit often. Thank you all

The Boar’s Head never fails to disappoint. The Sunday roast is by far the best we’ve had and the deserts are also a win too. We were served by Katie who was attentive to our needs, making sure the food was out quickly for our tiny dictator toddler. Would highly recommend!

On my last visit under the previous chef I couldn’t have recommended the Boars Head enough. My most recent visit, with chef Reekie as the new head chef. I won’t be back. The food was well below par: flavourless, soup was tame and barely warm, pâté starter was fresh out of a packet, main course was a complete let down and tasted like a reheated meal. Had the female service staff not been so incredibly warming, friendly and incredible service - we would have complained. However I thought best to leave and simply not return, but on reflection I feel this is one of the most overpriced meals for sub standard food I have paid. Please visit for a trip to the bar and for some lovely service, think twice about ordering food - you’d be better with a m&s meal for two.

Booked in with my family for my brothers 21st birthday. 4/6 guests have a laundry list of allergies (including myself) and the chef and staff couldn't have been better! Chef Reekie went out of his way to make sure we all had something delicious to eat. Everything was absolutely perfect and I'd thoroughly recommend any item on the menu. I personally had a langoustine starter and a steak for my main course. Both were to die for. Due to our allergies my family and I don't often go out to eat and the team at The Boars Head really made my brother's birthday something special! Also a shout out to our lovely waiters Ross and Katie who were so warm and helpful throughout. We will certainly be back!

Wonderful little place with very good food and very friendly people. We stopped to get out of the rain while waiting for the library to open and even though we had no reservation they welcomed us. Excellent.

Fantastic place to go for a nice meal. Relaxing atmosphere and easy listening music. Great selection of wines and amazing food (especially the specials, the beef is to die for) all adds up to an extraordinary dining experience.

One of the few fish chips shops which serve gluten free food ( Sundays and Tuesdays ) . The whole meal was delicious, I had fish n chips which was served by very nice , helpful young lad ( brought gf sauces without being asked ) and very reasonably priced. All the staff very friendly , the place is spotless and a great atmosphere. This was my second visit and I will most certainly be going again , as often as possible …
