The Conservatory At The Old Course Hotel in Fife

Food was great and staff excellent

We were here to do the archery and air rifles, and the the clay shooting. What a fun morning. We were put in a group of 6 the instructors were both excellent. The gentleman on the clays and the young man on the arrows and air rifles. We had a tea and a cake before driving home. Excellent morning.

My husband and I took our 2 year old grand daughter to the soft play area at lunchtime last Saturday. A lovely guy showed us in and got us seated with a high chair. We both had macaroni cheese with chips ( I asked for garlic bread but they had run out). The mac cheese was from the adult menu but our grand daughter had nuggets, chips and corn on the cob from kids menu. The mac cheese wasn't the best I've ever had but it was OK. Didn't like the chips. The salad was nice. I was back last night, 3 adults and 4 kids. I had the kids mac cheese as I wasn't overly hungry. 2 of the children had this aswell. They're 11 years old and the portion was tiny. Basically a table spoon in a small ashit type plate and 2 tiny bits of garlic bread! It was also nasty and stodgy. We eat out a lot and for the same price, we could have had 10 times better meals anywhere else but chose here for the soft play area. The other 2 adults had the nashville chicken burger but again said it was just ok. The restuarant was quite cold, floors were dirty, main toilets were disgusting, very short staffed, and we waited 25 minutes to order our 1st drink, then another 15 minutes to order food. Will give this place a miss from now on.

Having always enjoyed meals at The Doll’s House we imagined this was a mere name change, and were drawn in by the offer of a reasonably priced set menu all day Wednesday and Thursday. Inside the decor was smart enough and the waitress pleasant. However they were unaware of the set menu offer clearly advertised outside, and then said they’d still put our meal through at that price so long as we didn’t order anything expensive ! This wasn’t easy as five dishes were already sold out by 7.30, leaving little choice. The soups were ok, as was my deer, but my wife’s ratatouille was the most ridiculous item I’ve ever seen offered as main dish- three slices of undercooked courgette, a few tomatoes swimming in a watery sauce. We skipped desserts and were presented with a bill of £72, the manager having forgotten her promise. On appeal she applied a discount, but £58 was still very expensive for an experience that could charitably be described as poor. I’d steer well clear - there is no shortage of places to eat in St Andrews.

We had a lovely afternoon tea today. The food was excellent and plenty of it, great value for money. We would definitely recommend Bibi's.
