The Larachmhor Tavern in Fife

Seriously surprised by some of these reviews. Popped by yesterday with my kids so we could try some local fish and chips as a takeaway. They were absolutely delicious and cooked fresh to order (smoked haddock and chips). Kids demolished the lot! And that's after a free lolly from their witch 😁 Staff were so super friendly that I was threatening to leave my youngest to help with the dishes. Definitely not the cheapest chippy I've had but it is what it is, you get what you pay for. All the prices are clearly stated before you order any food so the bill shouldn't be any surprise at the end. Thanks for a great lunch. When we are back over that side we will definitely pop in again 😊

A real treat while visiting Pittenweemn. We were visiting with friends who live in Scotland and came for the viewing and swimming in the Tidal Pool. Lesley was out host and could not have been more charming and attentive to our needs. We had a dog and were able to eat with her at the table. I loved the quirky pop art decor and the food was excellent. I have every confidence that I will be coming back next time I am in the area and wholly recommend it for the warm welcome and fresh cooked food.

My wife and I popped in recently after a day in the East Neuk, and were fortunate to secure a table for two before the bar and small restaurant areas became very busy. Other reviews have recognised the quirky decor mix. I ordered a mixed fish supper comprising a regular fillet and a smoked fillet. The former was delicious, and the latter less to my taste. A very large portion, which allowed me to share some with my wife. Her choice of crispy chicken (we were advised this was a new addition to the menu) was disappointing as the chicken pieces were small and very, very crunchy, and on reflection it may have been better to order fish. C’est la vie. All in all a mixed experience.

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a very long time. A bit pricy but hey ho Not much else I can say as that is all we had, but I need more words here apparently!

We decided to stop here for my mums birthday lunch following a lovely walk along the coastal path. We ordered the Cullen Skink. When it arrived it was cold and the fish was strange - translucent in colour and almost gelatinous texture. My mum very politely said to the girl serving that the fish was undercooked and the soup was cold. The lady was so rude to my mum, she immediately told my mum she was wrong and that the fish was cured and it’s meant to be like that! My mum did not argue but said that it was cold. The lady then took the soup away and agreed to warm it up. She returned with the soup now hot but the whole experience was terrible. Totally ruined what should have been a nice birthday lunch. I was upset because the lady was so rude and condescending to my mum. A good day spoiled! Please avoid this place - I wish I had read the reviews before we went!

Langoustines were awful, had to stop eating them. Kept thinking the next one can't be this bad, but yes it was. Awful, difficult to actually bite through them, they were like rubber. Charged the full price, proprietor couldn’t have cared less. Pass this place by.

Walked in with the dogs from Elie. Complimentary nibbles for us and the dogs. Tasty fish & chips. Very friendly staff. Spotless Yes a mixture of art but is that really a bad thing? I don’t think so! Catering for all tastes. It wouldn’t do if we were all the same. Will definitely return! Oh and an offer of a minibus back to Elie but got the bus instead as we didn’t like to put the owner out. 5/5👍

Remember this place as a very popular old fishing village pub always noisy and bustling with custom, but upon walking in was confused with the bizarre decor of neon, Marilyn, fishing murals and photos. It's lost its charm. We were welcomed well with attentive service. Food was fine but expensive for what we had. Won't be rushing back, which is quite sad as it's in a beautiful location.

After walking the coastline we decided we needed a light bite to eat and as there seemed to be nowhere else open we stopped here. First thing that meets you is the takeaway area then through to a bar then around the corner to what appeared to be somewhere reminiscent of a 70s seaside cafe but thrown together, not quirky . We ordered 2 BLTs, bowl chips with mushy peas, one medium white wine , pint Guinness and glass of tap water. Our BLTs were very disappointing , bread was toasted to an inch of its life and ripped the roof of your mouth , one piece of bacon . Small dish with coleslaw , another small dish with a strange mix of some sort of salad . Chips and mushy peas were ok . But really £33!!! Yes we should have complained but it was getting busy and we were needing food after our long walk. So be aware .

Fish and chips absolutely delicious! Staff welcoming and friendly. Hygiene very good and tables, seats etc all wiped after customers leave. Had not been I. For a few years but this place does not disappoint! Will be back when back in East Neuk

Great for drinks and banter, this place is trying to be everything, pub, restaurant, takeaway etc and works for me. Enjoyed the bar chat with Ajan and Leslie. Anyone not happy with the service should get out more.!

Dog-friendly really did mean dog-friendly here, with our pet given water and ham, and allowed up on the bench as it could be wiped down. Great chips too and knowing we were all so welcome made for a relaxing meal. Really grateful for the great service.

Lovely welcome, quaint bar and excellent food. Gluten free battered smoked haddock was amazing and real chips...yum!! Highly recommended 😊

Was looking for a dog friendly place to eat, but weather improved so we went for takeaway. The haddock was amazing....as well as the smoked haddock and chips. Would definitely return ....all the way from Edinburgh 😀

My belly can attest to the fact that I’ve enjoyed a few chippies in my time and I can safely say that this one is the best I’ve ever experienced. The fish was delish!

Harbour master recommended we tried here and we are glad we did! Had a cold beer sat on the front beer barrels on the street, watching the world go by. Superb fish and chips. Snacks and water for the dogs on arrival - whats not to love! Don’t bother queuing for 50 mins at a more famous establishment! Come here!

Ate here twice while staying in Pittenweem and the staff were so friendly and full of fun . Our little pooch was spoiled with treats and we were spoiled by the fabulous food 😋 Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

The only thing that saved the day were I like my chips crispy and these were very nice..but reheating sauce many times in microwave right in front of you not something I would usually accept.. Also Very expensive.. Small chips and tiny pot of curry sauce was £5.50... Takeaway. Unfortunately they now don't have any competition, so if you want a chippy this is it. Crispy chips saved the day.

Our family of 3 traveled to pittenweem to meet up with our English friends this weekend. On arrival on Friday, we had excellent takeaway meals and complimentary poppadums with homemade spicy onions while we waited Staff were so friendly. We returned on Saturday for dinner and 5 clean plates told the story. Smoked haddock stuffed with prawns in a cheese sauce was amazing. Sunday lunch was fillet steak with all the trimmings- again 5 clean plates. While we were waiting for our lunch, the owner brought us langoustines, showed us how to shell them and he also gave us king prawns so we could taste the difference. Again, these were complimentary Guys, you made our weekend break. Thank you

I keep hearing above fish & chips in Anstruther but oh my goodness these were the best. Could knock spots of their neighbours in nearby Anstruther. Friendly staff, freshly cooked and what delicious fish (batter not too thick). Will be going there again. Delicious

An unusual place, lots of character, but very friendly and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Also, great seafood options very tasty.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Staff welcoming, friendly and attentive. Good value. All great. Thank you.

Wonderfully fresh fish in the Cullen Skink and the fish & chips we ate there. Just bottled beer first night some on tap second night. Right by the harbour with an outside bench to seat 4. Very friendly and accommodating service - recommended.

Went here for a spur of the moment lunch to get inside from the bad weather. I’ve been before but we got another very warm welcome from the lovely owner. I couldn’t go past the Cullen Skink and it did not disappoint. Gorgeous smokey fish in creamy soup with onion and potatoes. Very generous serving and a meal in itself. Fish Pakora and haddock and chips also excellent. Nothing is too much trouble here. Just a few miles from the popular fish restaurants of Anstruther - but well worth the trip.

Dropped in for lunch and ordered off the excellent sea food menu . I took the Haddock and Chips and my partner took the hot salmon and chips . Both were superb although the service was slow but it was worth the wait .I can see this being really busy in the evening at this time of year . We will be back soon .

My husband had the Cullen Skink - the best he’s ever had. I had some excellent crab pate 😋. Definitely worth a visit to renenergise for the remainder of our walk back to Anstruther.

Nice meal went for the half smoked half normal haddock in batter. Wife had the seafood tagliatelle and said it was really good. All in all both couples really enjoyed our meals

What a wee find this place was, we were met with a warm friendly welcome by the lovely owner , food was ordered and didn’t disappoint fresh tasty Prawn cocktail followed by fish and chips will be back.

Stopped here for lunch today. We chose the prawn and crayfish cocktail and the 4 in 1 starter with a bowl of chips to share. Firstly, very safely run, owner had face shield on. Plenty of hand santiser everywhere, even on each table. Also track and trace in operation. Salads came and wow they were big for starters, lovely chunky brown bread, chunky chips piping hot and plenty of seafood in the meals. Absolutely delicious. We may return before the end of our holiday!

Must say, had a lovely couple of pints (last indoors for a couple of weeks) and then took takeaway fish and chips home, absolutely excellent xx

Lovely bar that sits on the harbour and offers a great selection of dishes to tempt your taste buds. We ate and drank in here during our stay and the staff were friendly and it offered a nice ambience. The food was lovely and portion size was quite big for the price ! Lovely visit for us and would happily visit again in the near future.

Tiny rustic pub/restaurant right on the harbour. Lovely food, free pick up service to and from St Monans to restaurant, same young man picked the 6 of us up, served us throughout the time we were there and then took us all back home - excellent service. Starters are HUGE! Eight large pieces of black pudding tempura, same with haggis starter (ask staff to box it up & take it home), seafood linguine bit too smokey, langoustines delicious, all main courses enjoyed, especially all the fish. Bottles of hand sanitizer on all tables, staff wearing visors. Would definitely return.

We stopped off here after walking some of the Fife Coastal Path recently and we weren't disappointed. Sat inside, and had a drink, only one local ale on, but it was good We then decided to have something to eat before we continued our walk. All food was freshly made, piping hot and very tasty. The Cullen Skink was so creamy and full of fish, absolutely delicious. A bit confused as people were getting served at the bar, where as I thought with covid, the new rules were that all hospitality had to be table service?.Everything else on the COVID-19 measures were fine, details were taken and hand sanitiser at entrance and on all tables. Lovely little place and good value for money.Will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing! Dined here with my husband and parents, couldn’t fault it spotlessly clean very polite and friendly staff and the food was exquisite 100% would recommend and will return in the future Thanks The Kelly-Robetson’s

We propped ourselves on the beer-keg seats outside for a beer and then fancied some lunch... Lovely wee place with great, friendly service, nice ales and a stunning breaded haddock for lunch. What more do you need?

We stopped in at the Larachmhor on our way home after a few days in the East Neuk of fife. Both my wife and I had Cullen Skink soup and were not disappointed. Full of fish and creamy flavour. We were also fortunate enough to have a good chat with the owner and she was very charming and welcoming. We will certainly return on our next visit to this lovely little town and restaurant.

Appalling rudeness from the manager. After failing to produce food within the advised timescale, the manager seemed to pretend good service was being provided, instead of apologising for the delay or giving clear information; instead fobbing us off before becoming extremely rude and openly obnoxious, 'what did we expect, everyone else had been waiting for over an hour' etc. Then asked us to leave! Bizarre way to behave towards customers. Pretty snippy with the staff too. How unpleasant. We're clearly not the first to have this treatment either. Not sure why they're operating in a village where all other businesses thrive on community and good reputations. Avoid at all costs.

We went on a Saturday afternoon (quite an early dinner as we skipped lunch). There are very few tables inside and the table we got was a bit in the way... only one member of staff (who was wearing a visor) was very nice and efficient. Another wasn’t wearing a covering at all and another one had the mask under his nose... not impressed! The place looked a bit disorganised, I mean it’s Saturday evening, it’s busy of course! The fish was lovely though and the suggestion to have it baked was a good one! Thanks to that one member of staff!Would go back for the fish, maybe on a quieter day.

I popped in here with my 2 children for a meal. The staff were extremely nice and professional despite the COVID challenges. The childrens fish and chips they said was nice. I had the seafood linguine and enjoyed it so much, it was one of the nicest pub meals I have had in a while. Really tasty and home-made and comforting.

popped in here for fish and chip Certainly wasnt disappointed. The fish was so fresh you could smell the sea. lovely big plate of fish chips and peas superb service and reasonably priced. The added bonus for us wa its dog friendly. Our two dogs were happy to tuck under the seats with a chew provided by the staff. They were also given a bowl of fresh water. Fantastic find fir us.

This is very welcoming in a brilliant situation down at the harbour. Very friendly owner who didn’t stop working all the time we were there. Social distancing was easy, and there was sanitiser on each table, but they were also being sprayed and wiped whenever anybody left. Now the food... not a huge menu - but that’s because everything g is spanking fresh rather than hauled out of a freezer. We had a fish pakora starter which was heavenly and I could easily have eaten this as a main course. The Cullen skink(smoked haddock soup) was divine. This is listed as a starter but is absolutely great as a main. Filling and just totally delicious. A couple of cold beers and all was well with the world...

I have just spent an evening in the Larachmhor Tavern. The food took 40 minutes to arrive. But, the food was abismal in my opinion.Before I go into detail on the food the place is too small. I was crammed into a corner no more than 2 by 3 metres with four tables. At one time each table was full leaving a metres distance between any of the 10 people in the room. Do not have the pizza, the dough is thick and barely cooked whilst the pepperoni was discoloured and to me tasted off. The fish is also subpar, albeit fresh the cooking is very bad, dry and tasteless. From my seat I could see into the kitchen where the majority of food could see a visit to Chef Microwave.Please for your safety, wallet and taste bud I would personally not go here again.

I think it’s the worst restaurant I have been to. We arrived here at 18:30 and received our food at 19:45 which is appalling. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and the pepperoni was to my eye and opinion mouldy! My Father's prawns were tasteless in his opinion. The service was alright but not the expectation I wished it to be. For the amount of time it took to cook and prepare the food none of my family members enjoyed as much as they wanted too. I do not recommend.

Ate here with friends we all had fish dishes we all enjoyed what we had, the half and half fish dish was delicious, also my friend enjoyed the mussels he had, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Next time we visit Piteenweem we will definately go back.

We had fish pakora. Scallops blackpudding . 1 glass of wine . Split the meal £127 for us with £20 quid off because we complained. The Scallops were absolutely disgusting. Rubber .tasteless . Rank !!!. Bacon with them.. you could not get fork through it because it was burnt. The blackpudding ...well that was putrid. No social distancing or hand sanitizer. Complained about meal .guy argued back . Do not go here . Ever ..worst meal I've ever had in a pub/restaurant . !!!

Had a lovely plate of fish and chips. Small pub/restaurant but some thought had been put into social distancing and cleaning. My husband went in for a drink and before he was allowed to sit down the area occupied by the previous drinker was sanitised.

Went for sit in dinner and had a delicious fish and chips supper. Food was really delicious however this pub is lacking when it comes to Covid-19 precautions. Some aspects to be praised such as hand sanitizers at entrance and tables spaced. However no face masks being worn by staff when close up to customers. Fan in dinner area which is contrary to safety standards as thought to move flow of air and spread any viruses should they be present. Finally I was concerned to see staff using the same cloth to clean bar, tables and chair seats. Not sure I would want to eat at a table cleaned by a cloth that had cleaned seats. I think with further changes customers would feel safer and less likely for Tavern to be closed down

We were on a walking holiday along this beautiful coast (Fife coastal trail) . We found almost no food /drink facilities that are actually on trail or open (most start only Thur-Sunday )until we came to Pittenweem . We were welcomed by the Dublin born owner who was excellent, friendly and attentive . The pub has a lovely feel to it and I could literally have spent hours there . It’s across from fish market and I was hopeful of getting some quality East Coast fare . I was not disappointed .I chose the Crab pie . Which was an enormous amount of fresh cooked crab topped with perfect mashed potatoes . I needed no additional seasoning it was perfect...I mean it really was perfect . We had to wait 40 minutes for it to be made from scratch but come on that’s what you want . I don’t want a ready made pie when there is a fresh sea food market a across the road . This was great value for a dish that in say , London, Madrid etc would cost a fortune . Fabulous Lunch brought genuine pleasure to find somewhere serving great sea food and great beers .Thank you I will be back .

this is more like a cafe than a tavern, dissapointed very basic in price and the food was dissapointing, we had fish and chips and for the price the fish was basic and the batter was soggy, the price was twice as much for fish and chips if we went to a chippie the charge is £6.80 for a supper and to eat in this place the price is £12,00 and all you are getting is chippie fish and chips, they charge £18,00 for mussels and I would not pay this for mussels out of a cafe, the fish was nothing special and the plate was over run with chippie chips.

Met with a friend for a few drinks, sun ☀ was shining and we sat out the front. Owner Lesley was fantastic brought our drinks out, saw we had Maila with us ( DOG ) and offered us treats for her and water. Lots of lovely touches ( you get a dish of crisps with your drinks). Toilets were lovely and clean, overall we had a fantastic afternoon and will definitely return.. The extra touches here added to enjoyment.

Had a couple of visits here on our four night stay in Pittenweem, food tasty and reasonably priced as were the drinks, both the waiter and I think the older gentleman (owner) very pleasant and friendly.

From time of entering it was obvious Covid was not in the mindset! No masks of visors?!?!?! Most of the menu very basic every time I asked for something It wasn’t available?

Stumbled across this place last night whilst driving through the lovely coastal village of Pittenweem. Tavern is located right on the shoreline facing the stunning harbour - a real landscape!Noticed the Fish & Chips sign and decided to give it a try. First mistake. Was greeted by friendly staff inside and I asked if this is a chip shop, which he advised they sell fish & chips, chippy style - and gave us a menu to take a look at.Placed an order for two fish suppers at £17 which I thought was reasonable if they were able deliver on the quality. Too optimistic, eh.Was advised it would be with me in 15 minutes as cooked from fresh - well so I should hope so - would one expect to pay good money for frozen food in a restaurant...Fast forward 15-20 minutes, I bought two cans of juice for £3 (absolute shocking price considering these are around 60p max elsewhere) and collected the two fish suppers. Got back to the car, of course facing the harbour, where I was looking forward to eating a ‘fresh’ fish supper.Once opened we both just knew this was a waste of time and money, the chips were drenched in grease/oil and although the fish itself was cooked to an acceptable standard, it was ruined by the incredibly soggy and disgusting so-called batter! We both had a couple chips and a taste of fish, decided that was enough and chucked both portions in the bin.To summarise, a very substandard and poor quality fish & chips with overly inflated prices (taking advantage of the location, etc). Stick to the chippy just behind the harbour or nip along to Anstruther where you will get served fish and chips, that are cooked well enough to enjoy. If you can’t cook fish & chips then don’t pretend to and serve customers with crap.Definitely won’t be back!!!

Very nicely located character bar / restaurant opposite fish market. We went on a Thursday evening as we were tempted by seafood so ordered mackerel pate, scallops and langoustine. Oddly it came with bread or home made oatcakes. We ordered both. Would have liked fries but this was not possible. The pate was ok but not the tastiest. Scallops 5 for £20 expensive and a tad overdone but hand dived scallops are notable expensive. Langoustines nice but we’ve bought and cooked better ourselves. The accompanying salad a bit disappointing lettuce, onion and sweetcorn. The oatcakes were different and nice to try but a bit heavy and not the best accompaniment whilst the bread was nothing special. COVID precautions were limited and I would have liked more outside seating and more opening windows. Staff were not wearing masks. In summary good do better but obviously the current situation is far from easy to deal with.

I was told fish and chips woud take 20 minutes. After 30, I was told they had to change the oil. After 40, the rude woman told me I don't understand how oil cooks batter! After 45, the rude woman couldn't even hand me the bag and left it on a table. The place was extremely quiet! Shameful service that spoiled a family day out.

Went here as a family of 4 on a day out to Pittenweem.Ordered 2 fish sippers and 2 kids fish suppers over phone for collection,the lady on the phone was very polite and friendly and food was ready to be picked up in 20 minutes.Picked order up and was very pricey for a takeaway fish supper.The portion size were very small and the kids fish and chips was a ridiculous size portion not even half a fish and literally 6-8 chips.Was disappointed expected it to be much better.

Probably the busiest day of the year to stop by for a takeaway, as travel lockdown eases in Scotland. The wait for take out food was long, but this was made clear when ordering. Very small portion of fish and chips.

We warmed up here during a freezing February afternoon.Our experience was of the highest in all respects. Service, food and comfort were all taken care of with positive manner. Freshly prepared seafood platter and seafood chowders were delicious – the advantage of locally caught and prepared food cannot be underestimated. Reviews suggest astonishing variety of standards here. I read some reviews that seemed to describe another location. Can it really be so varied? We got experience the highest in all respects

In un tranquillo giorno di febbraio 2019 visitando questo villaggio di pescatori abbiamo pranzato in questo locale. Buona cucina semplice, piatti abbondanti e personale molto gentile e disponibile.

Interesting reading these reviews. Clearly the owner can’t take criticism !!!Also a recurring theme on how the langoustine are cooked and are they fresh or frozen. When we were there one of my friends commented that they were rubbery. The owner replied that they were freshly caught that day. Whilst walking around the harbour the next day and chatting to the fishermen they said no langoustine had been caught for past 2 weeks. I am guessing they are frozen. Owner not customer friendly. Wine is not on the drinks menu. There is a limited choice very mediocre and vastly overpriced wines so make sure you ask what your getting first. We didn’t and ended up with some really cheap and nasty plonk. No itemised bill. All very disappointing as looks good from outside. Went to John Dory the next day and it was an all together much more pleasant experience.

On a sunny monday afternoon we thought we would stop for a coffee and cake in what is a quirky and quaint pub..we ordered a scoop of ice cream with the cake ..we thought nothing more ..the cake arrived ..fine ..the coffee arrived ..lukewarm and deviod of any taste ..the two of us took one taste and could not drink it .we advised the lady who served us ..grudgingly she brought us what was supposed to be a stonger coffee ..again tasteless ..my partner paid ..when i found out it was £17..we had been charged for both ..i was astonished !! ..we went back to query why we had been charged so much ..in return we received nothing but abuse from the lady who advised she was from glasgow and nobody else had ever complained ..she then said she had only charged us for three cups??? I advised that all we wanted was a coffee to taste like coffee in return she was rude and undermining .ive travelled the world both on business and leisure and never experienced such rudeness and lack of customer care .my partner was really upset and annoyed by the whole thing ...needless to say ..we will never be back ..there was no apology or interest in the customer ..a truly awful experience ..

Had a fantastic meal in this lovely cosy bar. What a fantastic place to eat and spend an evening with such friendly local folk and staff. The food was excellent. I’ve been here a few times with the family and have never been disappointed.

Thank you for the lovely birthday afternoon in your establishment. The food was amazing (as usual) and the service from Lesley and her team was delightful. It was slightly disappointing to see a table be so rude and disrespectful in this establishment. The women language was discussing to all staff members. Very disappointed to see people behave that way. Glad Lesley ask them to leave. We will be back to visit and have some more seafood when we are back through. Thank you.

Had the misfortune to visit this place today, should have kept walking and bought a pie at the bakers and saved £80.Basically, long story short, mix up with starters coming with main meals due to new waitress, flickering offputting lights over table (very dangerous for epileptic), no apologies from aggressive manager about confusion. Big fuss made when we said we did not want to eat starters after mains and we were made to feel like scum. I have eaten in many restaurants in my life and I am always polite and courteous and very seldom complain about anything, but this sarcastic egotistical woman really annoyed me. I will never return to this overpriced poorly run establishment and I am sure I would not be made welcome either.Thanks for making a day out with my son's friend visiting from France so special!!

Today we had a fantastic meal at The Larachmhor Tavern in Pitenweem, fantastic service and great food, Killin skink was first followed by a fantastic serving of fish and chips, food was of course too much so I boxed it and had remainder for dinner, I can't fault this tavern, it is in one of my favourite towns together the with family history all around I can't think of a better place to relax and enjoy a nice meal.

Been here 3 years in a row during a half term break. Good food and nice vibe on a winter’s night. Waiter with NI accent excellent. Recommend for family scran. Try the oak smoked haddock.

Called in at mid-day for a light lunch, ahead of our 3 hr car journey north. Very nice welcome from the lady in charge, and a particularly nice welcome for our little spaniel "Archie," who was the first to get served with a dog treat!! (No complaints though, he always comes first!) We had a couple of excellent cappuccino Italian coffees - first class (and with a mint chocolate) after which we ordered 2 x Cullen Skink, which too were excellent and a meal in itself. So if the extensive range of seafood on offer here is as good, it has to be a place we shall visit again. Lovely litte place, with good value for money. (Nancy & Bill)

(Contrary to these other reviews) we had an excellent seafood lunch here. The service was friendly and the food delicious, freshly cooked. We had halibut and linguini - both cooked to perfection.

Visited in January for a pub lunch. Town was quiet but still a few in the pub. Good choice of menu - especially the fish. Meal was freshly prepared and delicious. Great value !!

From the comment of ‘Zippy Mum’ below this was all our experience (4 kids and 4 adults) of the manager of the tavern. Even the kids were taken aback that evening and talking about the whole experience the next day!

This traditional fishing village pub is in a pretty location by the harbour. We were a party of 4 adults and 4 kids. First impressions were good with a warm welcome, our dog enjoyed the treat and a bowl of water, always a nice touch.

6 of us stopped here for lunch. The specials fish and vegetable pakoras were outstanding, can’t believe the amount of fish. The half and half fish and their pies were also a success. Unfortunately the fish cakes weren’t same standard as rest of food. The only downside was we had 3 bottles of wine which we were charged at £24 per bottle. There wasn’t a wine menu so we ordered unsighted on price which was our fault but we were surprised at cost of wine.

This is a fabulously chaotic design of a place where they manage to combine an ordinary pub with a place you can come for simple coffees, snacks or some fine dining. Well worth a visit - even if you only fancy a pint.

Dreadful food, overpriced, dreadful landlady who will not accept any criticism (see previous reviews), and a husband who is aggressive and convicted of violence against pensioner this year. Avoid this business, other places to eat inthe area.

Lesley/Allan just want to thank you both for your hospitality last night when we brought friends to the restaurant. We had excellent service from start to finish.

In diesem Restaurant essen sie gut. Es gibt lokale Menus, Fisch, Meeresfrüchte, Pasta und auch Pizza.

Tried to order a glass of port, however the very pleasant young lass behind the bar had trouble understanding the request (English was not her first language) and she offered us a boat! Step in a thoroughly unfriendly, po-faced dame who was absolutely not happy to be working that particular shift and who took huge offence when her attitude was commented on. We were accused of being intoxicated (had shared a bottle of wine with dinner in a restaurant a few doors down) and told to leave. Shocking way to treat visitors to your establishment. Won't be back and would not recommend.

I love the Larachmhor. Fabulous location, warm deco and a chilled atmosphere. Don't expect lots of fuss and bows from waiters, just a cool, relaxing place with reasonable food. For me the best is how dog-friendly they are. We can take the dog to any table with us and they serve dog beers that he loves. Great. We go there whenever we can.

Went for lunch in this quaint harbour side pub. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. Extensive menu promoting local produce. Nice mix of locals and visitors. Little bit pricey for what we had but would certainly return if we are in the area.

Arrived in Pittenweem and was looking for a place for coffee. We came across the Larachmhor Tavern by chance and went in to see if we could get coffee. A very warm welcome from the bar person and was told that our two springer spaniels were welcome to come in. We had three excellent coffees and offered water for our dogs they even refilled out water themos for the walk back to St Monans. We will definetly visit again and have a meal next time. Congratulations on the staff at the Tavern you are credit and made us feel valued customers. Also thanks to the locals at the bar who took time to tell us about the event that was going on that day in the harbour

We had a really lovely meal here last night. Staying in Pittenweem we always want to eat the lovely fresh fish. A friendly little tavern the service was excellent they even made the dog very welcome and gave it a bonio.

My husband, myself and 2 wet spaniels where welcomed in and offered water and treats for the dogs . I had the most delicious sea bass and the nicest ever home made chips oooh and delicious homemade tartar sauce. Hubby had chicken burger with haggis which he also really enjoyed and said the homemade coleslaw was delicious. Nothing to complain about at all everything was perfect . Thank you

We were touring in Fife and were looking for a fog friendly place to eat. What a welcome we got here - water bowl and dog treats offered straight away. We had fish and chips which were delicious. Staff were really friendly and service excellent. Would definitely recommend this place.

Drinks had here made to feel very welcome, food looks great ( what we saw being served) really friendly place and will return to eat at somepoint. Dogs welcome

A simple pub, no fancy decor, almost the reverse. Lovely friendly staff. The best Cullen Skink on the planet, Rich creamy, full of fresh fish. Incredible. If you're in need of a big breakfast, this is the place too.

The poor reviews are to be believed. It should be amazing....wonderful spot, cozy vibe etc. Instead food was really poor, and the management was a masterclass in 'passive aggressive'. My Cullen Skink starter was ok (bread stale)..but when it emerged again with mashed potato on top as my wife's Main Course and called a 'pie'.. unbelievable. I'm not going to waste time detailing any more..long reviews are dull. Last night of our holidays ruined by soulless, careless, tasteless fare. Just believe me, don't eat here.

We have been here a few times now and we keep returning purely because of the service. The barmaid is a credit to the business. Very hands on and attentive to everyone who walks in...even dogs. Always smiling and nothing is too much...not even the complimentary crisps. Will always go here when in Pittenweem

Just popped in for a quick drink, read the menu and decided to try some local seafood. So glad we did. This place served the best Cullen Skink I have ever had. So thick and creamy and full of flavour. Also had the mixed seafood and some huge onion rings. Very hearty food and very friendly staff.

Came in search of seafood platter and were not disappointed what a spread !! Welcoming and hospitable and apparently the icecream is good too🤣

Visited at the same, busy, time. We waited an hour for our food, while people who came after us had been served, eaten and left.

Went in today as last year was amazing when we stayed in pittemweem, however today, I feel robbed.

First time at the Larachmhor Tavern, will certainly be back. Staff professional and friendly, great atmosphere and the best fish and chips. The menu had great choice, seafood platters, crab lobsters and much more.

Staying in Pittenweem for the Arts Festival and booked a table for dinner.

We chose according to the menu,"local prawns and crayfish marie rose cocktail".

Comida riquísima , muy buen servicio, pendientes en todo momento de si todo está bien y muy buena relación calidad-precio.

If you're ever in this wee pub and you want a bite to eat but can't decide on a snack or a meal, go for the Cullen Skink soup.

So, let's begin with the Good. the atmosphere is very good, comfortable, with excellent art work on its walls, and what looked like tasty desserts to have with morning coffee!

En Route from Larbert to Dundee and after a wonderful morning at Aberdour Castle (see separate review), we were looking for a Late lunch.

A massive thank you to Lesley, Alan and the rest of the team for making us, (and our dogs!), welcome on every visit. This is our fourth holiday in Pittenweem and each time we come here we visit the Larachmhor on several occasions. The food here is great and the staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. A credit to the friendly village of Pittenweem. Just wish we lived closer, but will return next year.

We had visited the Tavern a couple of years ago and the experience was really good, so we were so looking forward to coming back for the amazing smoked haddock fish and chips. We had a takeaway on our first night as the restaurant area was very busy - not a huge portion and everything was a bit soggy but we booked a table for another night because we thought it would be better eating in. The starters of cheese nachos were incredibly disappointing ... a handful of tortilla chips with some melted cheese and that was it! No salsa, no guacamole, no jalapeño peppers, no sour cream. We ate it but did say how disappointed we were and the response was that we would not be charged for one of our pints of lager. We assume this happened but since we didn’t receive a breakdown of the bill, we can’t be certain. The fish and chips were good, but we do feel that the meal was over priced. And if you do go to sample the fish and chips, avoid the nachos; having read through some previous reviews, it looks as if they are usually served up in this fashion so it wasn’t a one-off mistake. A previous reviewer had said it was pub grub at fine dining prices, and I certainly agree with that.
