The Inn at Lathones Restaurant in Fife

Wir waren für 2 Nächte im Hotel und haben an beiden Tagen hier zu Abend gegessen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Bedienung außergewöhnlich zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Preis/ Leistung für die Qualität ok !

What an amazing buffet/lunch was provided from The Inn at Lathones restaurant for my husbands 50th celebrations. We visited for the weekend to celebrate and on Friday asked that a buffet be provided for everyone arriving. The staff went out of their way to cater to our needs, and even provided a gluten free plate to ensure everyone had an amazing selection. The food surpassed anything we had hoped for, and we cannot thank the chef, management and staff for their help.

My second time staying here and absolutely love it. Beautiful countryside setting close to St Andrews. I love everything about it here, location. Staff, super friendly. Food, very high standards. The interior feels very warm and inviting. I had a good laugh and chat with Jennifer tonight, all the staff are great I just didn’t get all of their names. However I have 2 major complaints, I’m only staying one night and there are so many inviting dishes on the menu!

Had a lovely meal tonight, as 1st time visitors. The restaurant is such a lovely setting, within the original coach house,from the 1600's. The food was so nice and very fresh. The waiting staff were very friendly and genuine, made us want to go back.

Last minute decision to go out for dinner and the Inn is only 10 mins from home. Had heard great reviews of the place and decided to give it a try. Immediately thrilled with the restaurant setting - so much quirky potential. The old barn would make an excellent setting if properly styled. There was obviously the start to something. Loved the fire place and lighting at the log stores. Very interesting and well styled. The other areas would do well to match that simple standard. The tables themselves were a bit fussy with white table clothes and settings. I can see the potential to be a high end restaurant and the aspiration to be one in some of the setting/styling choices but there are a few considerations to be undertaken (the bookcase of wine isn’t nearly as interesting as the wine cellar as you come in, the paint work is patchy, the radiators old fashioned, a huge cobweb hung above our table etc). As for the menu. I was disappointed not to see a seasonal menu and a daily specials board. We are in an amazing place for produce and would have expected to see local and seasonal produce on the menu. The menu choice was therefore quite limited (pub grub rather than restaurant choices). No fresh fish options!! All breaded or battered! Come on, we are in Fife! The menu itself wasn’t very high end, modern or fresh. There are some very good examples of modern stylish menu deliveries available but the menus themselves were cheap laminated sheets in an old menu folder. The dining experience these days is more than the food in front of you. It is the dining experience (of which the food and drink is a part but not the sum). The food. Unfortunately the food choice was fairly limited and not that exciting. We opted for two different starters; lemon sole goujons (with a shop bought tartar sauce) and truffle pasta. Seasoning wasn’t quite right and the salad with the goujons way over dressed with a shop bought French dressing. The pasta was rich and needed an oil (wild garlic would have been nice) to cut through the richness - which became a creamy pulp in the mouth. For main we had chicken parmigiana and a sirloin steak. Again seasoning for both dishes was way off. The chicken meat itself was under seasoned and the tomato sauce (which tasted like a tin of tomatoes/purée) was missing any seasoning at all. No herbs, garlic or anything. The sauce seemed like it was just a tin of tomatoes poured onto the chicken. We took most of that away to feed to the dog at home. The fries that came with the chicken were far too salty to be enjoyed. The steak was tasty but inconsistently cooked. I ordered a blue steak and most of it was cooked medium-rare. The steak was seasoned well. I’d actually order that again. The sides were overly salty garlic mushrooms, grilled tomato and overly salty fried onions. The balance of seasoning was terrible. The truffle dauphinois potatoes were actually delicious. Dessert could have been spectacular but again where was the seasonality - we opted to share tarte tatin but again we were disappointed. The tarte (although small) was delicious however all the shop bought caramel sauce and so called raspberry coulis destroyed it. The caramel far too artificial and sweet and the raspberry way too bitter. A home made coulis would have been delicious. We had coffee and two g&ts before leaving. For our meal - 2 starters, 2 mains (one steak) and one dessert, two g&ts and a coffee our bill came to around £85. Service was good, settings could be amazing but the food let it all down. The chef either isn’t tasting or has no taste buds. The menu limited and not seasonal, fresh or inventive and for the cost vs quality it wasn’t really good value.

Come per l'albergo abbiamo avuto una bellissima esperienza! Eravamo stanche e il tempo orribile quindi ci saremmo accontentate di poco. È stata invece una magnifica sorpresa! Cibo ottimo, locale piacevole, ambiente curato e tranquillo, tavole apparecchiate con cura, ottimo servizio e buon vino. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente!!! Fantastico!!! Molto chic!

The food, the food - well you won't be disappointed. Starters of muscles, garlic mushrooms and baked Camembert were thoroughly enjoyed following by the most amazing locally caught haddock and chips. The portion did not warrant a starter. The breakfast menu was extensive - not like we have seen in a while - and all meals were excellently presented and tasted wonderful. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly and we wanted for nothing.

My husband & I decided last minute to pop in for food, & we were not disappointed. We hadn’t booked but the staff could not have been more accommodating & sat us at a table in the beautiful stables restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious & the service was impeccable, I cannot commend the staff enough. We were made to feel so welcome & nothing was too much trouble. We live locally & will definitely now be regular visitors.

What a beautiful surprise this restaurant was. When you’re eating at a property outside of town you never know what you’re going to get, but this was a destination that I would have driven from St. Andrews to dine at. Funny story- we had eaten lunch at the Road Hole at the Old Course hotel in St. Andrews that day and we were really disappointed. They had accidentally given our lunch order away as room service so we didn’t get food until almost an hour after we were seated. And my salmon sandwich was as plain as plain could be. I had such high hopes for such a famous property, and the servers spent more time talking with each other than looking after guests. But then we get to Inn at Lathones Restaurant. The service here was impeccable- attentive but not overbearing. Every request was executed efficiently and immediately. Honestly, what I got here was what I was looking for at Road Hole. And the food at Lathones was divine. It was shocking to get such elevated presentation at what I thought was a humble inn. Humble my foot. It was the best food we had around St. Andrews. We count ourselves lucky to have stumbled into such a beautiful experience.

Ate in the restaurant twice during our break and the food was amazing both times. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. In short, I would definitely eat hear again and happily recommend this restaurant to anyone, you won’t be disappointed.

We were staying in lundin links, away for a short break from Glasgow we had dinner here on the Sunday night, one of the group was in a wheelchair, we were made to feel so welcome and the young man who greeted us and served us for the night was really helpful and made our experience great too! He was so attentive, checking if we needed anything throughout the evening! Nice amount of time between courses, The food was great, haggis and black pudding started was delicious as was the ham hock starter! The steak pie was full of meat and cooked perfectly! Chicken and haggis main course was really tasty and my partner was very impressed with the mixed grill too! Chocolate fondant dessert was lovely but the tart Tatin was absolutely beautiful served with soft vanilla ice cream, the apples were caramelised and delicious! Really great meal and super service! Will definitely be back when we’re in the area again!!

We ate on 4 nights here as part of a DB&B break at the Inn at Lathones. The Piece de Resistance is the restaurant which recently opened in the former stables. Very ambiente, with bar and an impressive log burning stove. Our meals and the service were excellent in the Stables Restaurant by the big log fire. Good choices on the dinner menu, all delicious and generously portioned. Starter+Main+Dessert is definately a challenge! Bar prices are slightly upmarket high street, between £4 to £5 for pints or spirits with mixer. No hesitation in recommending.

We ate in the restaurant at the Inn at Lathones, and had an excellent meal and it was all most enjoyable with a good ambience. Food was all lovely.

all the food was great !! well presented and if requested different sauce or stuff for kids , the chefs were happy to do thier best

The Inn at Lathones is a great place to stay. It combines an old Inn, coach house and restaurant, dating back to 1600. It is full of history, character and charm. Only 6 or so miles from St Andrews, it is the perfect place for a quiet relaxing break with easy access to other surrounding areas, including Leven and Crail. The restaurant and bar are cosy and the open fires were a real treat. The food was our highlight and Dinner and Breakfast were absolutely amazing. I loved the evening meal opting for the rib of beef and to finish rhubarb 3 ways (crumble, trifle and sorbet)😀. Lee created these dishes and they were quite simply delicious! No surprise the Inn has won awards, year on year. All the staff work very hard. Special mention to Lee the General Manager who couldn’t do enough for us during our stay. We will definitely return and could not fault our stay.

Dinner and Breakfast was delicious - breakfast poached eggs were done to perfection! Food all fresh and cooked to order, no boil in the bag rubbish here! Staff were very helpful and attentive. Dined here as part of a DB&B Deal... 100% worth the money! I would have paid more! Thank you 😊

A group of us attended a track day then stayed over for a meal and beers. Great wee hotel and the only downside was the bar closed at 10 which was not ideal when 5 guys were looking to blow off a bit of steam

Fuimos a cenar temprano ya que nos quedamos cerca, al principio parecía un poco inconexo, nos sentamos en el bar y tomamos un pedido de comida, luego, cuando la comida está casi lista, se nos muestra una mesa de restaurante. Esto no sucedió más tarde una vez que el restaurante estaba más lleno, por lo que podría haber sido porque teníamos una reserva un poco más temprana. La comida es bastante cara, pero todo lo que teníamos era de alta calidad. El personal fue muy amable y atento. Una vez que el restaurante se llenó más tarde, hubo un ambiente mucho mejor en el lugar. En general, una buena cena en un ambiente acogedor, volvería!

Habiendo conducido más allá de este lugar muchas veces pensamos que lo intentaríamos. Hay estacionamiento disponible detrás del edificio. Cuando entramos en el edificio nos recibió un empleado que nos dirigió a través del área del comedor. Es un área grande con muchas mesas de madera para comer, pero al mismo tiempo no se sentía abarrotada. Hay 2 chimeneas en la habitación, así que puedo imaginar que es bastante acogedor en el invierno. Nos sentamos al lado del bar y pedimos nuestras bebidas y nuestra comida, pedí un café con leche, pero me informaron que la máquina aún no se había calentado, así que opté por un café. Después de que salieron los cafés, nos llevaron a nuestra mesa en el comedor principal. Poco después salió nuestra comida (dos porciones de pescado y papas fritas). La comida era realmente agradable, sin embargo, el pescado podría haber sido más grande para los 15 que pagamos. El servidor (solo uno en funcionamiento) fue educado, rápido y bien presentado. Buena comida para un almuerzo ligero en el bar, pero un poco caro para el tamaño de pescado que se sirve.

Nuestra familia disfrutó de un maravilloso aniversario de boda hace algunos años, así que cuando tuvimos un cumpleaños importante que celebrar, pensamos que volveríamos. Me temo que las normas se han deslizado. La reserva telefónica que habíamos hecho no había llegado hasta el personal - ok, el personal amable afortunadamente encontró una mesa para nosotros. Pero más seriamente, la discusión que habíamos tenido antes de reservar que uno de nosotros era intolerante a la lactosa y al gluten (un problema médico real) no se había comunicado, por lo que las opciones en el menú eran limitadas (no se permiten postres). Aunque tenían una lista de alergias para el menú, bueno. Los problemas posteriores se centraban en el servicio no enfocado: olvidarse de un entrante (una porción caliente se enfrió mientras todos esperábamos); necesidad de pedir copas de vino (asumieron que simplemente reutilizaríamos las copas que habíamos usado para diferentes bebidas antes de las comidas); trayendo el lado de verduras tarde; solo ofrecía un lugar para colgar abrigos cuando los nuestros estaban amontonados en una de las mesas (es decir, después de que nos habíamos mudado del salón al restaurante). Un montón de cosas pequeñas, no hay pan para la mesa (la mayoría de nosotros no era intolerante al gluten); plástico, no flores reales, sobre la mesa (finales de la primavera, así que hay muchas opciones silvestres); Los platos no se calientan completamente, así que los alimentos se enfrían rápidamente. La comida no está muy bien preparada: sabía a carne bastante barata (platos principales) y pescado (salmón y gambas no es la mejor calidad) y posiblemente no esté recién preparada para los elementos clave de los platos principales. Lista de vinos muy pobre. El personal es básicamente amigable, y el lugar es / ha sido perfecto como una posada de entrenamiento tradicional, pero necesita mejorar sus estándares si quiere que nos devolvamos. Una lástima, porque regresamos con buenos recuerdos de hace 7 años.

Just returned from a 2 night break with my daughter for her Birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed our Stay. The Staff were so friendly and worked very hard to make your stay pleasant. Rooms and food were good too. Would recommend.

stopped for a break - well situated for St Andrews and the East Neuk , open fire and a good selection of wine - just the spot to while away your afternoon with a book.

Dropped in here whilst out for a wee drive for lunch. Excellent food, excellent service and we will be back for a holiday. Loved it. Thank you.

Duncan fue nuestro servidor (y quizás cocinero) para nuestro almuerzo para cuatro. Uno de nuestro grupo comió la sopa, dos de nosotros comimos haggis y queso panini, y uno de nosotros comió sopa de tomillo con zanahoria. Ninguno de nosotros podría criticar el servicio, la comida o el tamaño de las porciones. El joven servidor incluso se tomó el tiempo de explicarnos sobre los vasos de agua de peltre. . . No lo arruinaré por ti, te dejaré descubrirlo por ti mismo. Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta. También es un hotel, y permite perros! No estoy seguro de cuántas habitaciones tiene, pero las que están en el área del patio serían perfectas para los dueños de mascotas. Un día pronto subiremos para quedarnos un par de noches y traeremos a nuestros tres perros. ¿Con ganas de hacerlo?

Abbiamo cenato qui dato che arrivati tardi dall' aeroporto per poter pernottare nell'hotel omonimo a stomaco pieno virgola il personale ci ha fatto aprire centralmente da cucina e ci ha preparato qualcosa di caldo, buono il pie un po' meno i toast.

Omg!! This was the best meal hands down. What an awesome place. It might be a little of the beaten track but my god was it incredible. Highly recommend the lamb and sticky toffee pudding. Best meal I hav eaten in Scotland 💗💗💗

We stayed in the excellent hotel for 3 nights and had Breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. I cannot fault a thing food was outstanding and the staff were excellent so accomadating.

We were staying near the Inn at Lathones, so decided to pop in for dinner. The bar staff welded us & we took a drink in the bar are whole choosing from the menu.

The lounge just off the dining room as quite busy with what looked to me like golfers there for a few days break but lovely atmosphere for a quiet nights drink.

Restaurant en bord de route, le cadre est joli et repas apprécié en revanche quantité légère mais de qualité concernant le plat.

Had a lovely meal here a couple of years ago so booked for my friend’s birthday meal. Asked at booking if we could bring two dogs as on holiday and couldn’t leave them in accommodation. Website says pet friendly and I was told on the phone that would be fine. We had just arrived when a man (I assume the manager from his officious tone) stopped us and said - “no dogs”. I politely explained we had booked and were told the dogs were welcome. “No dogs” - at first he refused to accept I had been told this then asked who I’d spoken to etc and he worked out who it was. The young woman was not on duty and I don’t envy her next shift! We didn’t have many other options after 8pm for 5 adults & 2 dogs in the East Neuk of Fife for a birthday celebration. So after much bemoaning and telling us what he couldn’t do to accommodate us we were ushered into a large empty function room with lots of furniture and two separate tables which we pulled together. A young lad was told to set up the tables and proceeded to sigh loudly several times. We thought perhaps he was just embarrassed by the awkwardness of the situation but as time wore on and many more loud sighs were heard along with his regular comments such as “oh I really want to go home” etc we realised he really didn’t want to be there - a feeling increasingly shared by us!!! We asked if he could turn off the very bright centre light and put on the wall lights to try to engender some slight ambience. This he did - one pale green wall light spookily flickered for a while and then went out. The radiators remained cold despite the rest of the building being warm, no napkins, no candles, no water despite regular requests to the young ‘waiter’, as a nod to the birthday I was promised ‘something special with desert to make up for our discomfort’ - nothing except the ordered deserts arrived. We did receive a complementary bottle of wine. The young lad left before we had finished our meal and the manager agreed he had wanted to go home two minutes after he arrived for work! The whole place had a tired and unloved feel. The only saving grace was that amazingly the food was very good. My friend said she was unlikely to ever forget that particular birthday- thankfully we managed to laugh about it but I for one was left embarrassed and wishing we had been anywhere else. You really couldn’t make it up - echoes of Fawlty Towers.

After staying at the hotel, we went for breakfast. The restaurant is really cosy and warm with a real family feel. I had a full Scottish Breakfast and it was really really good, would definitely go back for another breakfast.

Stayed at the hotel for four nights as was golfing in the area and dined at the restaurant on two of the evenings. There was plenty of choices for each course, all reasonably priced. Food came, well presented and tasted great. Very good value.

I have already reviewed the restaurant as part of a hotel review. In summary; it’s OK. Desert was small, breakfast miserly, fajitas nice apart from the half frozen sour cream. 4 mains on the menu & both nights something was sold out.

Food had clearly been cooked in a cold fryer as was soaked with oil.. award winning chef.. don't think so.. very poor for how much money you are spending here .. Would not recommend ..

This restaurant takes you back in time with its exposed brick, fireplace and cut logs sitting nearby.

We had a superb meal here that was very good value and mine was freshly prepared to meet my special dietary requirements (gluten free and dairy free veggie). Scott made it clear from the start that this was not a problem and the chef made me a delicious butternut squash and sage risotto. They even make their our dairy free ice cream. My husband had a mackerel starter and chicken mains that he said were excellent. Will definitely be back next visit.

Excellent place to stay,food was excellent,service was great.not to far from St. Andrews bay.fantastic

As a golfing party of 16 ordering individual meals, they were presented beautifully, together, perfectly cooked and tasting out of...

Gran atención, buena carta y muy buena cocina, el sitio muy acogedor. Estaba en el mismo sitio donde reservamos para dormir y valió la pena.

Can't rate this highly enough. Beautifully laid party table, food awesome and cooked to perfection. Delicious. ( more than one...

We (four Bavarian Golfer) have had a gorgeous time at the Inn, with great and tasty food! For us it...

I went twice and loved both vegetarian dishes (Halloumi and Couscous). The real stars are the homemade bread in the...

My husband and I have been traveling for over a week, with many fine meals, but this is the first time we've wanted to take photos of our meal! Dinner at The Inn was lovely, starting with a cocktail in the bar while our meal was prepared. Our grilled cheese app was excellent, my ham and chicken pie was divine, and my husband's cod special tasted as good as it looked. Finally, we chose the inspired "rhubarb trio", a delicious and unique dessert. We can't recommend The Inn at Lathones Restaurant enough!

Lovely cosy atmosphere in bar. Then in to dinner which was delicious. Well cooked. Hot. Great choice. Dietary requirements was first thing asked. Nothing a problem..In restaurant for breakfast. All food dinner and breakfast freshly made.

Essen war sehr, sehr gut. Mit allem drumherum - warten in der bar, gesetzt werden, etc ein schönes Erlebnis!

Food of best quality cooked to order. I would imagine some of the best food in St Andrews, traditional Scottish Inn a little quirky definetly worth a visit. Dont be put off by outside appearance its just a bit tired looking

Breakfast and Dinner were consumed at the Inn even though the guys I was traveling wanted to go elsewhere, I didn't because I have been in that area before. Had a blast every night at dinner as each night was a little different menu wise and drink wise.

Cet hôtel n'est pas à St Andrew mais à 8Km.Malgré une première impression négative , car très proche d'un route passagère ,cet hôtel nous a surpris. Les chambres et la salle de bain sont très grandes, propres , literie confortable.Le personnel est adorable.Ne pas hésiter à y diner, cet hôtel possède un restaurant où les plats sont excellents.

4 of us ate at The Inn at Lathones Restaurant. It's on the main road between Leven and St Andrews and incorporates over 20 separate accommodation rooms which, when we ate there, were mostly fully booked with visiting golfers.On the managements advice we booked an early evening table as it gets very busy later (even in a mid-week).Very attentive staff welcomed us, sat us down for a drink and then took our order including being very helpful with offerings of Gluten Free food for one of our party.The food was prepared and we were taken through to a lovely beam-roofed dining area where we enjoyed 3 courses of lovely food served in a very attentive manner.The Inn has plenty of off road parking right next to the restaurant and accommodations which all on the level if you were, as one of our party was, a little unsteady on your feet.The Inn is close to St Andrews, Leven and the whole East of Fife coastal route and we would not hesitate recommending it to anyone passing through the area!

Stayed at this hotel as there was no where else near St Andrews to stay, decided to eat here as it was a horrible night outside and we regretted it. Firstly when we came into the bar we were abruptly told to sit down on the sofa and he would be there in a minute, which was actually 10 mins, we were given menus and asked what we wanted to drink i had a pint of lager which was OK priced and my partner had a normal Eden mill beer which had no price on the list but turned out to be £4-55. We actually ordered the cheapest thing on the menu which was 2 burgers and chips which were £27 for the 2 of them, so to sum it up this place charges 5 star prices for a 3 star establishment with 3 star service.

Visited this restaurant on a recommendation and we were glad we did. It's quaint and the staff were very friendly. The food was fantastic and the service was faultless. We'll be back for sure.

My sister and I stayed in Largoward and there weren't many restaurants within walking distance. It had been a long day and although there wasn't a footpath, we walked along the road about 1 mile to The Inn at Lathones Restaurant and were seated in the bar area immediately. We ordered our food and once it was ready, we were seated in the dining area which was clean and pleasant. Our favorite part of the entire evening was the food - it was outstanding! We both had the chicken & smoked ham pie which was warm and delicious. If we would've been in the region for more than one night, we would have definitely gone back!

Staff were helpful and friendly. Room was in need of a thorough clean, inside of window frames dirty, outside glass on patio doors, patio furniture and decking covered in bird poo. Over the two nights we stayed I never see any cleaners working around the Inn

Mmm.. where to start. The room was horrific, as was the bathroom. It looked like it was built in 1981 and had NEVER been touched again.The bathroom was like my grandma's - and she has been dead for nearly 30 years - it is honestly the worst hotel room i have seen in the last 20 years.The shower, I believe a prototype electric shower from the 70's, had two settings - nuclear fallout skin removal or cold. But don't worry, there was a bidet. As of course our priority in booking a room in 2017 is the need for a bidet. The towels reminded me of waterproof sand paper - washed so many times over so many decades that the ability to absorb water had long since ended.The room was bang on the main road and the windows were single glazed and didn't shut properly. I heard every car that went past with Dolby Atmos clarity. And! Be careful not to break your toes on The two raised grates outside The Room! The white radiator had now turned black over time. I think The walls may have been white in 1981 but now they are a nicotine-fested lung yellow. The TV was 12" and didn't work,It just had an error message on it in Portuguese. The restaurant was so tired and worn out that you could see the route everyone had taken from chair to buffet over the last 40 years. Pease don't try the concentrated orange juice!The best way to quickly assess if the owners care about your comfort and happiness or just their margin is to look at the toilet roll, and the sausage served with breakfast. The toilet roll was 1 nanometer thick and reminded me of school toilet roll in 1979. Tracing paper. The word Andrex had never been uttered in this establishment.The sausage was one of those that stays pink, no matter how much you accidentally over-cook it. If it was locally sourced than I can understand that, as there is an Aldi at Cuper 3 miles away.The place was in farmland on a busy road with no footpaths so you couldn't go for a walk, and you couldn't really sit outside as the aged B&Q chairs were 30% bird excrement. You could stroll around the car park and marvel at the contents of the skip or tge depressing nature of the attached caravan site.Given the arrival of either a £1million makeover or an exorcet missile, this place could actually be quite nice.Unsurprisingly when we checked out no one asked if we had enjoyed the stay. I have a feeling that they knew the answer already.

After a long day of touring and hiking, we were looking for a nice inn or pub to round out our day, but it was getting late and we had a large party (11). Despite the fact that they were planning to close at 9pm, the Inn at Lathones not only accommodate us, but also served up some delicious whiskeys and a fine, multi-course dinner for all of us that included a lovely soup and starters, great steaks, fish and lamb, salads, and dessert.Our servers, Scott in the bar and Jess in the dining room, could not have been more friendly and attentive - recommending excellent choices for starters and mains and re-orienting the dining room seating to allow us to sit in comfort. Highly recommended!

We were given a gift of dinner for 2 at The Inn Lathones, never been before despite living fairly near, and not sure what to expect. Firstly, we were welcomed and sat in the enchanting lounge with a log fire and comfy leather sofas. Enjoyed a pre dinner gin from their varied selection with drinks advice from the manager. When we were seated at our table, we were delighted with the water cups, which very ''Game of Throneish''. We both decided to have the soup to start with, which was served with freshly baked rolls, made daily and so amamzing we could have eaten a whole plate of them!! My husband had his favourite, haddock and chips, which was light, fresh and in a crispy batter. I decided to have the sea bass with gnocchi and thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a wonderful combination. After all this, we shared (almost shared) the Tonka bean pannacotta, it just melted in your mouth, so delicious my husband only got a little taste.The staff were friendly and efficient, the surroundings clean and welcoming with an airy restaurant which din't have tables packed in tightly together.We will definately be returning soon. Highly recommended.

Dropped in for a spur of the moment lunch. Staff very welcoming and friendly. very good food in quaint surroundings. well worth a visit,

From entering the reception the welcome wasreally friendly the menu was extensive to suit most customers cant wait to return

We stayed here after attending a wedding at Kinross House on Saturday. Staff were very friendly when we booked in and showed us to our room promptly. We were asked if we wanted to eat in the restaurant and booked a table for 7.30pm. We went to the restaurant around 7.20pm and were told they were running a little late as they were training two new staff members. We asked at 8pm if our table would be ready soon, we were told "shortly " we eventually were seated at 9pm. I have a medical condition that means I cannot eat too late in the evening and was struggling and had to leave half way through my main. My wife went and explained to the manager that we would need to leave. He told her " here's a tip, tell the restaurant in future" well here a tip seat your guests sooner than 1 and a half hours after they have booked.

We stayed here after visiting St Andrews and certainly made a good choice!The bar was cosy, relaxing and welcoming. The staff were helpful and very efficient.Everyone chose different things from the menu and everything was amazing! The venison was tender and had a beautiful flavour, steak cooked to perfection and the haddock was big and beautiful! The flavoured homemade bread blue cheese and leek was the best ever! What a treat we loved it!Overall a wonderful eating experience all round with nothing too much trouble.

Si vous séjournez a l'hôtel prenez le temps d'y dîner et surtout le scottisch breakfast ! Il y a aussi une salade de fruit rouge à ne pas manquer !

Stayed over at the Hotel and chose to eat in the restaurant. We were not disappointed. We had 3 different meals from the reasonably varied menu and all were beautifully presented with fresh ingredients.The Pork Stack I had was particularly impressive.Service was attentive and unobtrusive.Good value too. Definitely recommend.

Last summer two friends and I had lunch at the Inn at Lathones and could not sing its praises high enough, so when my husband suggested going somewhere special for a post Christmas treat there was only one choice. We drooled over the images of beautiful food on their website and booked taxis both ways from home so that we could relax and have some wine with our meal. The log burner was cosy, the leather sofas were sink into comfy and we ordered two glasses of a very nice sauvignon blanc to enjoy while we perused the menu.What the website didn't tell us was that during winter months there is no a la carte menu, only a bar supper one at £15.00 for two courses and £18.00 for three, with nothing on it that I couldn't make at home. Stuck there with the return taxi not due until 10.15pm, we ordered starters of black pudding with poached egg, hollandaise sauce with crispy bacon rasher and a goat's cheese and red onion marmalade tartlet. Both were excellent. However with only a very basic choice of steak pie, roast chicken, burger, fish and chips, salmon and a veggie option my husband reluctantly chose the fish and chips and against my better judgement I ordered the burger. This for our "treat". The fish was fine but both portions of chips were overcooked to the point of being on the new carcinogenic hit list. The burger was like a thin piece of rubber with an unpleasant texture. The two bacon rashers atop it were thick and undercooked and the topping of blue cheese was parsimonious to say the least. The side pot of salsa (I suspect El Paso) and the slightly oily coleslaw were unappetising. I could only manage three mouthfuls.We asked for the bill and the waiter said "I knew this was going to happen. Just pay for the wine". We did and escaped into a hastily rearranged taxi. Utter, utter disappointment. And, by the way, I cannot stand waiters who address customers as "Guys".

We have just returned from taking a friend to lunch at the Inn at Lathones. Located 6 miles South East of St Andrews, this 18th century coaching inn offers excellent food, function rooms and 21 bedrooms. We were greeted by Dave who took our jackets and coats and placed us in front of a wonderful wood burning stove. We sat in very comfortable settees and the lintel over the fire was engraved with the date of 1718, the year the Inn was built. Dave returned to take our drinks order and then brought the menus. My wife had a glass of Sauvignon and Dougie chose a Merlot. I chose a low alcohol beer of 0:005% ABV with the delightful name of Hee Haw! We opted for the two course menu for £15, which was just as well, because we were full after the main course!My wife and our guest ordered the sweet potato and rocket soup and I went for the black pudding with a beautifully poached egg, covered in Hollandaise Sauce and strip of perfectly cooked bacon. We all went for the battered haddock, they with salads and me with peas. (I don't do healthy!) I asked for an additional portion of the homemade tartare sauce and the portions were very generous and beautifully cooked and presented.Chris and Colin were in the kitchen doing a great job and I also spoke to Assistant Manager Scott. The Inn has a function room which can cater for 50 and the Dining Room has 30 covers. It is very popular with wedding and funeral parties and I could see why.Everybody was very pleasant, the service, food, drink and ambiance first class and if I were coming the St Andrews area, I would certainly visit the Inn at Lathones!

This was my second time here and my husbands first, we were not disappointed the staff are lovely and helpful the meal was absolutely delicious and the home made bread was out of this world an added bonus was the cosy log fire top marks to the chef and staff x

Delicious food, which was equally as appealing to the eye. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff! Will be going back!

I stayed at the hotel for 2 night and ate at the restaurant for breakfast and evening meals.The food was excellent with a good choice of meat, fish and vegitarian options.Breakfast was great with a good choice.All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The chef has talent - thanks for a great stay.I will definitely try to get back to eat again.

The Inn at Lathones is a very special place to us. We have stayed here and eaten in the restaurant a number of times over the past three years as our son attends University at St Andrews. There is always a warm welcome after a long journey.The staff are friendly, polite and professional in their manner. This was an old coaching inn and it exudes charm and character from a bygone age. Food is good value, delicious and always served well. It is especially enjoyed by a couple of hungry students who usually accompany us when it's time to eat! It's good to relax by the open fire after a meal and have a drink and a chat. The rooms are warm, comfortable and clean. Last weekend Michael and Brittany were on duty and they were both very helpful and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here and we have consistently found this each time we have stayed. It's always a delight to stay at this charming Inn and we very much look forward to our next visit. Many thanks thanks to Scott and his wonderful team.

Great service, relaxed yet attentive. Wonderful fresh beautifully cooked dishes. Not a huge choice, but who wants lots of things to say no to! I ate here to nights in a row and would happily have eaten again were my trip longer. Highly recommend.

Struttura fatiscente, sporca, pessima in tutto !!! Personale sgradevole e maleducato, abbiamo trovato peli e capelli nei letti, che dovevano essere puliti. Camere sporche e non tutti i giorni pulivano le camere. Siamo stati appellati grezzi solo perché pretendevamo la pulizia nelle camere, ma alla fine i veri grezzi sporchi e maleducati siete voi. Struttura che non merita una stella! State alla larga sia dal ristorante che dall'albergo!! PESSIMO!!!! Meglio dormire in tenda sulla strada!! VERGOGNOSO!!!!!!!

This is more than a gastro pub, but it is not as expensive as alternatives elsewhere. It is probably easier to dine here if you are staying at the Inn, as it is 20 mins to most other accommodation nearby. The steaks that we have were cooked perfectly and the sweets were excellent.

Superb ambience, food, staff and standards of cleanliness that I just cannot recommend highly enough. Food wasn't too expensive or too inexpensive just well priced. 5*+++++

We passed this restaurant on several accasions without stopping. What a mistake. We took friends there for somewhere different to go. What a lovely place. The staff were superb and went out of thier way to help us. The food was amazing, with the steak pie taking top honours. Will certainly be going back there.

Visited for dinner on Friday 9th September. Meal was excellent and waiting staff very friendly and efficient. Very reasonably priced menu.

Having planned a special event, delayed for one reason or another for six years, my wife and I were renewing our wedding vows.We had a family group of 19 plus two babes in arms for the family gathering.We also had a list of expectations and requests.I am pleased to say they were all met and in all cases surpassed.The small informal service was held in the court with a back up option in case the famous Scottish weather intervened.We were lucky and the sun shone ..... as ordered.This concluded, we retired to the stable, a sympatheticly renovated stable that had been tastefully changed into an atmospheric, pleasant and comfortable environment.The magical moment for me, apart from the renewal service was my wife's face when she saw the table lay out, the place settings and the candles the ambient lighting and music. It was immediately worth it.Despite the quite large numbers attending the meal service was exemplary, the food fresh, hot and in all cases cooked to perfection.Scott, who was our host had pulled out all of the stops and then some.Highly recommended and not just for special occasions, there were also casual diners to contend with.We never noticed, as far as we were concerned we were Scott's only customers.Thank you.

Excellent service and food. I enjoyed a very nice steak, cooked just as I had ordered it. It was a quiet night with no other dinners in, but the staff were very friendly and the service good.

we ate in the bar area - lovely food - very good service and an amazing selection of gins ! they let my husband try a selection of beers before he settled on one - he seemed to enjoy it !

Llegamos a un hotel rural en las afueras de St. Andrews, una antigua establo.De entrada una crema de cebolla con albahaca, plato fuerte un lomo de cerdo, con pastel de papa y ensalada y de postre un queque chocolate con salsa de caramelo y helado, buenísimo.Acompañado de una cerveza local T

This is a hidden gem with fantastic staff and incredible food. Rooms were basic but very clean and well presented . A must for anyone visiting St. Andrews!!!

My boyfriend and I have visited the Inn at Lathones twice now and have really enjoyed it both times. We are yet to try the food as when we have visited it has just been for a couple of drinks, however, the menu looks delicious and I can't wait to try the braised steak pie. The restaurant is usually busy around dinner time and the pub has a warm atmosphere with friendly staff. Dogs are welcome in the pub too!

Food was beautifully cooked, good selection of dishes, desserts STUNNING! Quite pricey for dinner, but worth it for a treat.

Had lovely family meal recently in this friendly local hotel. Dined here a few years ago and was disappointed but Inn has changed ownership and dining room and accommodation and menus have all been updated and greatly improved. Staff were very welcoming and meal was delicious.

We contacted the Inn at Lathones to book a meal for our family at quite short notice as we had stayed there before and enjoyed the experience very much.They were very busy but made the effort to fit us in anyway. Our group consisted of 5 adults and 3 children, ranging in age from 3 to 61. The staff made a great effort to treat us all well and the children were supplied with balloons, which gave the meal a party atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their food. The kids menu dishes all went down well and plates were emptied, although the children were tired after a long journey. I had the lamb, which was delicious and my son in law really enjoyed the steak. All the staff who served us were friendly and helpful and I would recommend this place to anyone who is in the area.

Another fantastic meal had at the inn. How anyone can slate the food is beyond me. I have dinned at many restaurants and can honestly say the inn is one of the best and the breakfast rolls are to die for a new flavour every time. Fresh food cooked very well how can anyone complain.

Another amazing meal at the inn we dinned 2 nights during our stay and both nights could not be faulted. Lovely food and a great atmosphere definitely freshly prepared and amazing flavours hats off to the chefs they do amazing work.

Excellent food and service. Love enjoying a quiet drink by a log fire while waiting for the first course to be ready.

First class, lovely fish, great puddings, nice dining room, cozy bar. We had dinner and breakfast which was also really good. Excellent eggs Benedict!Add to that amazing value as a DB&B deal, we loved it. Well done, we've paid much more for meals not a patch on this.

I visited this hotel with my family, not knowing what to expect and from the minute I arrived I was impressed. The bar area is very homely with fire and nice atmosphere.The food was exceptional and the Manager couldn't have been more helpful. I will definitely be back here and I was told by a friend that they have a new cocktail menu starting which I am looking forward to sampling.I will definitely be back and the same goes for all of my family that came with me. Top hotel and restaurant!!!

This property was a nice surprise. Lacks curb appeal but very nice. Located just a few minutes outside St. Andrews, but feels more remote and very cozy. Rooms modern and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful

Fantastic food, we had a 3 course Christmas menu and it was delicious. Very talented chefs and the waiting staff were very pleasant. Great place can't wait to come back and try the new menus. High tea looks amazing.

we came along for a Christmas meal and we were not disappointed, Food was first class. we will definitely be back to try all the other menus. Cant wait!!!!!!

There are only a very few places offering a traditional high tea in Fife but The Inn started offering them yesterday and we were the first to book for my wife's 60th. After a relaxing drink in the cosy lounge when orders were taken we were then taken through to the dining room for what can only be described as a feast. A High Tea in Scotland is toast, a main course, followed by scones and cakes with tea and coffee. Done properly this is heaven for those with a sweet tooth and boy was this offering heaven! We had a good choice of delicious mains, lashings of toast with plenty butter(not in stupid little packs) and good jam( in little pots). The selection of home made pastries and cakes were to die for(I just about did cos I ate seven as well as a scone with cream and jam and several slices of toast!) Cream merangues, choux pastries, cloutie dumpling to name but a few. A big pot of tea and coffee were also on the table. And then an invite to take away what we hadn't eaten! We will be back very soon possibly with a dog to enjoy the hospitality in the new, equally cosy, dog friendly room. So keep this a secret so I can get a table and I am away for a cuppa and one of the cakes I brought home.

First visit to this restaurant for dinner during the Christmas season. Cosy bar area and dining room. We were 2 diners in amongst a large Christmas party group, so things were a bit slow and we were forgotten about initially, but the staff were very apologetic. The food was very good and prices were surprisingly cheap- 3 courses for £15! The beef pie main course was a winner! It is in a remote area, but very close to St Andrews (10 minute drive away).

First thing is that this hotel has nice rooms with views over the fields so if you're going make sure you ask for them. The food is good and there is a nice ambience to the place but be aware that if you order dinner for a time that you'll find yourself waiting in the bar for quite a while

The food was lovely, the service excellent and the ambience over all was delightful. We will definitely go back.In particular the staff were very good with the children who were made to feel most welcome which meant the adults could relax.

Great hotel , lovely room and fantastic food. Friendly helpful staff. Location is remote but beautiful.

Lovely old coaching house. Had a lovely dinner here. The food was excellent and there was a big variety of dishes. The bar has an open fire and is very cosy.

We went here for an evening meal while staying in Crail, knowing nothing about the place but having read some good reviews - from the outside it doesn't look too impressive, so I doubt that we would have chosen to go there otherwise. We were not disappointed - there is plenty of parking, and the lounge where you sit to peruse the menu over a drink is very comfortable. The staff are excellent, the dining room is beautifully laid out and decorated, and - most importantly of all - the food is superb, by a long way the best that we had during our holiday and extremely good value for money. Everything was good, but the blue cheese mousse was a particular delight. Overall, first class.

Fantastic food and very friendly and welcoming staff.I can highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding .
