The Glen Tavern in Fife

Myself and 4 friends went for lunch explained at the start separate bills ---no problem. I had Garlic mushrooms they were terrible tasted strongly of vinager had breaded fish very overcooked breadcrumbs hard had to ask for sauce no tartar sauce served with fish had to ask for that as well said we would wait a little before asking for drinks had to try to get waitress attention for. drinks when bill came just gave us a total bill and said we could work it out ourselves at no time during our meal we were asked if anything was ok so at end of meal we had to sit with pen and paper and work out our individual bills was told I would not be charged £3 for sweet as couldn't eat mushrooms didn't notice till after was charged as we were all trying to work out bill Bad Bad service

We came in today for our normal dishes and we were very disappointed to say the least. We asked for 2 pints of cola with our meals...we were served half pints...I ordered "creamy garlic mushrooms for a starter and cheese sticks for the other starter...the "Creamy Garlic Mushrooms" was in a dark brown/orange resembling baby food...this tasted EXACTLY like there special of the day "Mushroom Stroganoff" but i was passed of by the waitress saying we use mustard in the recipe and this how we normally make it. This was NOT creamy garlic mushrooms and I would not recommend ordering from the menu unless you want to be disappointed. The mozzarella Sticks were straight out of a frozen bag along with the chips on the main meals 😔 this will probably get removed as there are no bad/constructive reviews on here...hence it will also be posted on TripAdvisor as management can't remove it from there !! no apologises from staff or reduction in our bill...WE WON'T BE BACK !!

The 'whole tail scampi' is a misrepresentation, it was more like frozen processed fish coujons .also 1 guest had fish but a good portion was batter only Prices are good but would rather have better quality with an extra £ or so. Staff very accomodating and friendly., top marks to them.

This is my new local and I shall definitely become a regular. Great food and beer selection at very reasonable prices. Service was very good too.

Traditional pub setting but focus on casual food in a great atmosphere. Prompt service with a smile. Children's menu also available

food did not impress us but the service was very great and the price is reasonable. The beer was really good.

Staff were lovely, and the food was delicious. I had the battered fish burger and it was a very generous portion. The sticky toffee pudding was a highlight, again , very generous portion.

Had a lovely lunch with my Son. Food was great along with the professional staff.

First time here for a last minute / couldn’t be bothered to cook dinner. We had 3 steak pies, a pizza and the sweet waffles for dessert. Was all delicious. A warm welcome, great service and cozy atmosphere. Would recommend and definitely be back.

A reasonably good meal in the whole but not great. Salmon and fish were very good but the chips were simply awful. Quite a nice place though. Staff very friendly.

Thank you for another thoroughly enjoyable meal. The steak pie was a must and the spiced apple crumble was out of this world! The pleasant merlot red wine complimented our meal and went down very well. Home cooking at its best! The service was excellent, very attentive and helpful even taking our photos. Roll on the next time!

We are unable to give a positive or negative assessment of the food and ambience. Twice we tried to get a table there around 7 p.m., we were turned away twice on the grounds that the kitchen would now close due to a lack of customers. The second time the sound became a little rougher... The lady at the bar tried to mediate by saying that she would consider another visit on another day of the week... Given the fact that we were turned away twice and treated unfriendly by the landlord the second time, we will neither visit this location again nor recommend it in any way.

We had lunch on Saturday and again thoroughly enjoyed our meal.. Food is always brilliant and the staff couldn’t be more friendly or helpful. Best place in the town for food 👍

Steak pie was out of this world!

Best meal every one where nice and pleasant 😋

Not really wheelchair accessible as there was a step to get over at the entrance. Breakfast was good. However, let down by poached eggs not being available ("they don't have the equipment for it" ?!). A cosy wee place giving a great atmosphere and the staff were cheerful and pleasant.

Best steaks we've had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Their lentil soup was fantastic too. Highly recommend if you're after some good food in a friendly atmosphere.

Unexpectedly had some time to kill so popped into the Glen Tavern for lunch. We were delighted with our meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food was yummy and extremely good value. Everything was freshly done, my husband had a burger which was thick and juicy, even home made onion rings, imaginative side salad etc. I had 'dirty fries' which were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place, looking for an excuse to go back!

Nice big portions of food and a lovely staff and atmosphere.

First time in the glen tavern and it certainly wont be the last the food was very good i had the steak pie which is the best i have ever tasted in a bar /restaurant or shop bought. Apologies to the staff i forgot to leave a tip and will make sure i dont on our next visit.

The way the manager spoke to a mother of two about the mess the children had made was absolutely abhorrent - we won’t be back

Mum and I visited Dunfermline on Friday. We had steak pie and chips it was absolutely delicious.And the service was excellent.Would go back again

Great place for something to eat. We had steak pie and chips it was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone

My friends and I have been for lunch in the a Glen Tavern quite a few times now, where we quite often choose the lunchtime special - 2 courses for £9.95. The staff are really nice, and the service is efficient. If you're looking for some nice pub grub I definitely recommend.

Had lunch there on Saturday 10th, really great soup was delicious, and scampi was tasty, staff were friendly too.

Excellent food, great service and staff in a relaxing atmosphere

Brilliant dinner of Ham salad and chips. Good ham, not the plastic stuff. And there was amazing Folk club afterwards with the amazing Elsa McTaggart singing.

I came here with the family for food and a couple drinks. Me and my partner ordered 2 pints of moretti on arrival and it tasted very off, which happens quite often it isn’t a big deal. When the mrs brought them back and told them politely, she was told with a bad attitude “this is just how moretti tastes” topped the same pints back up an handed it back to her. First time I’ve ever had to write a complaint about service anywhere but unfortunately one person has ruined this place for me with a terrible attitude and pissed me off.

Still the same, as below Lovely friendly and attentive staff, tastey food, still as good as ever 👍😋😋👌

Excellent kind and personal Er had a lovely ginner

Menu of the day very good! Soup of the day and vegetable lasagne for £9.95. Drinks, in our case two large apple juices for £5.60 both. Friendly and fast service. Highly recommended if visiting Dunfermline Abbey.

Not all like walking into a pub, it has a really friendly atmosphere, the meals are tasty and well priced. The staff always have a smile.

Posto perfetto perfetto per una pausa informale! Siamo stati a cena durante il nostro tour per la Scozia. Cibo ottimo e buonissimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliatissimo a chi si trova da queste parti!

Went today for the first time couldnt fault it,food was lovely and fresh,staff were friendly,reasonably priced,we will definitely be back, only thing i would suggest is a better vegan menu,as there wasnt much choice for my son.

Had a lovely lunch for 4. Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Served by two lovely polite waitresses.If I was to be critical of anything it would be we probably could have had a better situated table. Will definitely be back.

Great food and friendly attentive staff

Great value for money, always enjoy visiting Glen Taverm, been visiting for over a period of 50 years. Always nostalgic moments

Busy, friendly, great food and drinks.

Amazing food! My fish & chips meal was spectacular 😁 Cheap & good quality food & lovely customer service 🥰

Excellent food and a great price to go with it. Staff very friendly and are focused on the customers. Go on worth having a shot (not the liquid type), you won't be disappointed.

Outstanding wee place for a bar lunch. Ten quid a head for a soup and cheeseburger. 10on10

Very lovely food staff very friendly and polite a very easy and lovely place all round strongly recommend thank you again

A bit dark inside, but the food is super, the staff so helpful and well-trained I will definitely return

Food and staff service was very good and food lovely.

Really great food cnt fault it at all

Great food. Excellent service. Drink and food prices very reasonable.

Great bar lunch with friendly staff and great food, great menu too.

Easter Sunday lunch with my sister, neice and nephew. The food was superb and the service was excellent.

Excellent bar lunch. Great food and service

was here for Sunday lunch and it was awesome, definitely try the haggis pakora

First time visiting, service and food were excellent, every member of staff were helpful and attentive, nice atmosphere too. Fabulous value for money from a brilliant menu choice, something for everyone.

Absolutely terrible customer service from the manager. His attitude is appalling. The food was not good and he could not care. He also clearly is not a fan of children, given he complained that my 2 year had his foot on a chair (want to note, he was not standing or jumping on the seat, the back of his foot was touching his seat). We were told they don't put sauce on children's pasta so it comes completely dry and 2 of the adult meals were cold. The manager, Graham, just shouted at us and told us we are free not to come back. Used to be a great place - gone downhill now and I wouldn't go back or recommend. Avoid.

Disappointed as used to be a regular visitor pre Covid. One of the mains came out freezing in the middle so was unable to eat, sauce in the wrap was a horrible salty flavour and chicken tasted like jelly. Mentioned this to one of the staff and the owner rudely argued back saying ‘people order these everyday and no one has ever had an issue so must be you’ had mentioned about us not enjoying the food to what he replied ‘why don’t you put a bad review all over Facebook?’. Utterly disappointed if I’m honest, not even an apology from the owner and he couldn’t care less, he would rather just argue with customers in the middle of the restaurant.

What a fabulous meal we had here. One of the tastiest home made curries ever tasted. Staff were so lovely! Made to feel very welcome and the service was fast. Going to go back for lunch before we head home!

Fantastic bar/bistro within the Dunfermline area, great food with a wide selection of options that won't disappoint. Staff are always on hand and really attentive, highly recommend a visit if you haven't already been.

Went for a buffet breakfast as a group of around 30. Staff were very attentive and helpful, food was plentiful and freshly cooked. Will definitely be back.

What a lovely, atmospheric little gem of a pub, with an adjoining restaurant. Service is friendly and personal, and food is terrific with wholesome portions. Will definitely be back!

Very sweet place, we went there on a monday evening for dinner on our Scotland trip, and had nice food (and that's coming from french people :p), the waitresses were kind and the food came quickly. Can recommend the steak pie !

Sunday lunch with my wife last minute. Polite staff in a friendly,relaxed,informal atmosphere accompanied by fantastic food served promptly and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended and will definitely be back. Thank you very much.

Not been to the Glen Tavern for a long, long time. Not disappointed food as ever good honest fare. Good atmosphere good staff and just what was needed for a chat with friends.

Excellent gf menu, service and staff very helpful

Visited here as I got a voucher for Christmas. Restaurant is lovely, staff are friendly and nice. Food is piping hot and arrives quickly. My husband and I loved it and would recommend. Prices are responsible as well compared to other restaurants. Excellent customer service. Thank you 😁

Love this place. Such a friendly cosy restaurant. My husband and I visited today as we received a voucher for Christmas. Food was piping hot and delicious. We were served quickly and didn’t wait between courses. Staff are excellent and very attentive. Prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants. Sarah the owner is lovely and also Graham. Thank you to Ciara and Kelsey who served us. All in all a lovely visit ☺️

Out with 4 mates for a Turkey dinner (quality) the staff were very helpful and friendly the food was excellent will definitely be back 💥🎅👍

It was a visit for lunch. I often frequented for lunch a few years ago. I loved it the staff were friendly and service was quick. Good food, what more can you ask for.

Great food and a lovely little pub.

Another great visit food excellent staff so lovely and friendly and professional, cozy friendly atmosphere Even had a dairy egg free sweet choice 😀

Out for a catch up with friends, great food, service. Staff really helpful and friendly.

Lovely food that is not too expensive. Top notch staff !

Fabulous Christmas lunch today with excellent service from a very young experienced staff. Garlic mushrooms were very tasty but a little too salty. Turkey dinner was perfect followed by sticky toffee pudding.

Fantastic food and staff are amazing, nothing is to much trouble

Good festive menu on offer with good choices. Food well presented and good selection of vegetables.

Nice wee pub opposite an entrance to Pittencrieff Park. Friendly staff, nice pub grub. Nice little sun terrace.

After returning from Cullross, I stepped into this fabulous old type public house... Beautifully laid out.. Smart looking ladies serving.... And I met the owner/manager... Was asked to stand in a corner away from the ambience of the the crowd, no salutations given.. And a beer placed in front of me... Ruined that part of my holiday (momenteraly) however... In such situations.. I tend to vote with my feet.... To give the benefit of the doubt (I'm hoping he was having a bad morning) And I'll leave it at that... DJ McGuigan 🇮🇪 ☘

Visited pre covid back 15th November 2023 same 2 issue s. Cold steak pie served on cold plates and vile cheap tasting tea sadly no tip wholly disappointing.

Unfortunately tasty enough food convivial atmosphere. Last here pre covid visited again 15th November 2023 same issue cold steak pie served on cold plates and cheap horrible pots of tea. Hence no tip visit ruined, sadly waste of money and disappointment.

Totally blown away by this place. The decor is good and we were seated having booked ahead. Had the haggis pakora, incredible!!!. Haggis chips were terrific value and burger with haggis was a great addition. Desert we tried was chocolate fudge cake which was insanely good and well worth the extra. Service was terrific but only lost one star for it being a little on the chilly side inside but it was a chilly night. Terrific value for money and will be back here again.

Another fabulous meal at the Glen tavern. Can’t fault this place. Great food and excellent customer service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent value for money, great service.

Went for a meal with a friend of mine , we hadn't booked a table but after 5 mins we were sitting at one , very nice staff not intrusive but attentive. Great food at a great price. Lovely wee place. Thoroughly recommend it.

Steaks were just a treat and great service as usual

Having had a couple of bad dining experiences here (admittedly during the Pandemic) we were a little reluctant to return, but did so on Monday 30th October and can say we were both very glad that we did. The likes of Wetherspoons and Seven Kings (both, no thanks !) aside it's quite difficult to get a pub lunch in Dunfermline early during the week so we decided to take a short walk down and give the Glen Tavern another go. From the minute we walked in service was absolutely excellent. Girls on the bar were polite and friendly, and the waiter - who was on his first day no less - was superb. Both went for two courses of starter and main and both left very empty clean plates. Combined with 2 cracking pints of Moretti our bill was still less than £38 - which in this day and age is genuinely outstanding value. Very glad to see this place back, bang on form, for the service and more importantly the food. Certainly won't be leaving it so long until we are back again !

Great place to eat, plenty delicious homemade food choices, had lunch here on a very wet Wednesday afternoon and there were quite a few diners in at the same time. Highly recommended the macaroni! Staff attentive and polite. Prices are very fair and portion sizes good. Delicious shortcake cheesecake for pudding.

This place truly is a great find, My family and I went along today on a cold wet Sunday afternoon , we were warmly greeted and shown to our table, the staff were attentive and very helpful. As for the food, well all meals were very tasty and delicious and worth the money. We have no hesitation in recommending this place to our friends and family. We definitely will be back soon thank you Glen Tavern Dunfermline

Lovely food, attentive friendly staff. Got the fussy parents seal of approval, all good 😁

Lovely place to go, friendly, pleasant atmosphere and ordinary everyday food, well presented and well cooked, best place to go for Sunday lunch or anytime, would thoroughly recommend it, well done Glen Tavern, we need more places like yours

Found this place on way home and had a lovely impromptu meal. The chinese chicken curry and steak pie were very good and piping hot. Not huge portions but plenty. We had double nougat wafers for dessert. Excellent value, good menu and the staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive.

The Famous Steak pie definitely lived up to its name!

Only called for a quick drink, staff friendly and prices reasonable.

A great meal the food was lovely well done to the chef. The waiting staff were pleasant and polite and met with our every need. Worth a try if your near the park

Best place I've eaten in town for a very long time. Tasty food . Great service and pleasant atmosphere
