The Cake Fairy Tearoom At The Bay in Fife

Staff while friendly start off with a "sit in or takeaway" question rather than a hello or anything else which is a bit odd. The glasses that Costa use for coffees are actually very uncomfortable to hold and this is a nationwide Costa issue. They're also incredibly heavy. A few lights were broken / failing and therefore the store was pretty dim inside. Also not sure of the policy but allowing dogs inside is strange. Not talking service dogs here, just Joe blogs dogs. As they walked out the dog put it's head on two other customers tables probably trying to have a quick look what's there but clearly the customers didn't appreciate or like it. This policy needs changing as not everyone is a dog person or wants their cafe experience to be interrupted by dogs.

Lovely venue , decent selection of beers . We didn't eat here just had a drink and used the toilets that were spotless . There were TVs showing sports however I can't recall if the volume was in or music was playing in the background, either way it didn't disturb or conversation. It's a very high quality pub with some outdoor seating across the road that's next to the pier. I'd go back if I visit Anstuther again and maybe have something to eat . However this place is next food to The Anstruther Fish Bar

My mussels cooked well however the sauce was watery and bland. The lentil soup was too sweet, too many carrots in fact should have been carrot soup not lentil. The haddock was overcooked and my steak was blue not rare which made the steak tough. As anyone knows the cut of steak depends on how you want it cooked. Maybe on the menu as in steak frittes it should stipulate the cut. The service was excellent and nice ambiance however the food took ages to arrive and the restaurant was not busy. So a little disappointing we will give it one more go but not for a while!

Not a problem when requesting another table. Great food, enjoyed by all and a lovely waitress

Don't do meals but are always friendly and glad to see you. Recent report of going into liquidation is false, so they are still open for business.
