What a charming place for a drink. Very welcoming bar staff. Decent prices and seems to be popular with the locals. Would definitely recommend.

Just passing through…..staff fantastic, local banter welcoming. However, it was chilly. The ‘open fire’ which is alluded to on the website wasn’t on so we couldn’t warm our toes by the open log fire. The locals were quite vocal about this issue. All in all, we’ll be back…………, in the summertime.

Looks like a bit of a locals pub from the outside and it is but it’s also a welcoming place for visitors for drinks or food. Visited for both, really friendly staff and thoroughly enjoyed our visits.

There's always a degree of trepidation when, as a visitor, you enter what is obviously a local pub for the first time. However, the West End Bar could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The bar is a proper, traditional one with polished wooden floor and tables and a good selection of beers and 'top shelf' whiskies. We visited the restaurant as a party of six and were very glad we did. The menu is short, which is usually, as in this case, a good thing. There are the usual pub staples of burgers and fish and chips, but also an interesting choice of more ambitious and 'exotic' dishes. The sharing Scottish charcuterie board went down very well and all our mains were delicious. The one-person service was cheery, attentive and efficient. Value for money is excellent, given the ambience and the superior cuisine . Would we go again? In a heartbeat!

From the warm welcome we received as we walked through the front door it was immediately obvious we had stumbled into a little gem of a restaurant.The craft beers and list of suppliers at the foot of the menu were a clue to what we might expect and nothing disappointed.From the smoked trout tart, beef burger, sticky toffee pudding, lemon posset, fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked with the occasional but simple amusing twist - raisins in sherry as an accompaniment to the Affogato was a lovely idea.We only had two nights in Pittenweem and considered trying somewhere else but life is too short to waste the opportunity for a second visit. The food and atmosphere provided two of the nicest evenings out we have experienced for a while. Thank you Oonagh & Tim, your West End Bar is as good an excuse anyone would need to come back to Pittenweem.

We booked this restaurant as it had good reviews. Most of our meal was good, the meat and fish dishes were tasty and enjoyable.However 2 of us are vegetarian, the starters were good, fried green tomatoes were lovely and bread tasty. Which made the main all the more disappointing. It said on the menu courgette, squash pasta with lemon, herb and walnuts. It was pasta with courgettes and some herds. None of the other ingredients were to be seen or tasted, it was just white bland pasta, so poor. I don’t like leaving a bad review,as the staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere nice. However vegetarian food isn’t hard, and when you can do better at home it is disappointing. I also don’t like complaining when out with other people as it makes it awkward for everyone, but maybe we should have on this occasion.

We visited Pittenweem yesterday to check out St Fillans cave and the ice cream shop - and boy are we glad we stumbled across the West End bar! We didn’t book as it was a bit of a last minute decision…. But it was no hassle to get us in; I would definitely recommend booking though as it did get busy which is great to see! We sat outside in the beer garden, I had my dog Maci with us, it was her birthday so was a nice wee treat for her too - as she got some of my amazing lunch! We both had burgers which were delicious! We will definitely be back and have a dessert next time! Our server, I think she was called Laura? Was FANTASTIC. So friendly, very welcoming and made our visit really pleasant. My dog was given a bowl of water and some treats which was a really nice touch, it’s nice to go somewhere where dogs are just as welcomeas humans! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area, thank you

Had drinks here last Sunday after a walk from St Monans where we were staying. Laura was the best barmaid we have come across for YEARS , on her recommendation we came back for a family meal on Friday and were delighted with the service and food - I want to come back for more fried green tomatoes and we all fell in love with the charcuterie board - simply delicious. The potatoes with my husbands mains were disappointing but the owner asked for feedback as she spotted he’d left them. Would easily travel for some great banter from Laura and excellent food .

We telephoned to book a table and were advised that there may be a reduced menu, due to a family bereavement. The staff member was very efficient , and very friendly, and we were very happy to go ahead with the booking. How glad we were that we did!! The West End bar was so charming. Utterly spotless , and characterful..We were given the choice of eating in the outside garden, or in the restaurant. As it was getting a little cooler we sat inside. The lovely room had been recently simply but tastefully decorated, I can just imaging how lovely it will be in the evenings with the candles lit. The ethos of the kitchen is to use locally sourced produce, in season. So that means the very best quality ingredients . Look up the website to view the menu. Every dish we had was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for better! I’m certain you’ll agree. Remember to book ahead so that you are not disappointed. We travelled from Crail from our holiday accommodation and were so glad we did.If we lived in Pittenweem the West End would certainly be our local. I would just add that if we lived in Pittenweem the West End would certainly be our local.

Wow, the West End Bar just gets better and better.Tim's food is going from strength to strength - fried green tomatoes an imaginative new addition and delicious, the burger a classic done exceptionally well. Oonagh's welcome and Laura's craic are everything you could wish for and of course there's a really good pint as well. All of these are the things that make the difference between a good pub and a fantastic pub - West End Bar excels at all the things that really matter! Can't wait to go back.

From the phone call to make our reservation we could tell the staff were really friendly but nothing prepared us for what an utter delight this meal would be. We arrived to find a cosy, laid back atmosphere and our waitress was genuinely welcoming. We started with the Scottish charcuterie board which was out of this world and our main courses were every bit as good, we finished with an ice cream sundae which was the perfect end to an amazing meal. We both thought this was the nicest meal out in a long, long time!

We walked past here umpteen times without ever thinking of going in. Won't make that mistake again.Liked the look of food and approach on the website, booked table for lunch a tad apprehensively.From moment we were greeted by our enthusiastic waitress till we left, we were both satisfied and impressed.The beer from the local Ovenstone brewery was superb, a perfect example of how to store and serve a classic real ale. Sauvignon blanc was well above average.Menu is small but from what we tasted that's a plus. The trout tart starter wouldn't have been out of place in a Michelin restaurant. Main courses and dessert were also very good.2 rounds of drinks, a starter, main courses and a dessert - all of this for 50 odd pounds. Cracking value!

It feels like you’ve been invited into your best friend’s garden for great food and drinks! We had a lovely impromptu lunch here. The charcuterie board and a bottle of rose in the beer garden is my favourite moment of the 2021 summer. Dogs are given as big a welcome as the humans with a bowl of “clear Guinness”. The West End Bar is friendly, informal, fun, they serve good food & drinks, and just everything you’d want from your new favourite local pub. Oh, and it’s next to the bus stop too!

At first glance West End Bar looks like an old man's pub - but the regulars are friendly and welcoming and the staff even more so. The bar is well stocked, including draught local ales, and there is a small but comfortable beer garden. The food is first class, with the emphasis on local produce and freshness. Portions are just right and everything is delicious as well as being good value. The owners, Tim and Oonagh, work extremely hard to give every customer, whether a regular or a passer-by, a good experience and the result is that the West End Bar is head and shoulders above any other establishment in the area.

We have holidayed in the East Neuk many a time since 2015 and this place always seemed like a typical and traditional "old mans pub" which we avoided. When we were here in 2020 it seemed to have had a bit of a facelift but sadly, covid prevented us from paying a visit. This visit in 2021 saw us renting a property close by and we decided that it was certainly time to book a table.Our 3 children are vegan and they were very well catered for with organic vegan falafel fritters. I had fish chips and my husband had the lamb koftas. Starters of hot smoked trout and fish cakes were fantastic and the kids loved their selection of olives and homemade foccacia. For dessert, vegan sorbets and an eton mess with locally sourced ingredients were once again full of flavour. The wine list is exceptionally well priced and you won't go wrong.We even managed a couple of pints of Guinness which were exceptional and even topped Tennents Bar in Glasgow's West End which is always serves a fine pint of Guinness.Service was faultless and we were well informed throughout on how each course could match our dietary requirements. In short, give the West End Bar a go, you will not be disappointed.

This place had been recommended to us, so we popped in on spec to see if we could get a table (when the place we had planned to go could not accommodate us). We knew they did not start serving food for another hour or so, but the lady who served us was very accommodating, and said she could squeeze us in to the restaurant at 5:30, which was perfect for us. We had a couple of drinks in the bar first, which was great, then went through to the restaurant for 5:30. The restaurant space itself was a great surprise, as we thought we would just be eating in another part of the bar. It also felt very cosy. The food itself was excellent. We shared the bread and olives to start which was lovely, then I had the pasta and my husband had the fishcakes. We were too full to try the desserts, but were really impressed with the quality of the food we had. We also thought the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

On arrival we were taken to our table. An we were in awe at how amazing and romantic the dinning setting was.We got married last year but never managed a honeymoon. So this was our first chance away. The food -One word.. Wow!All freshly made and hand prepared, on both nights we ate there we could not fault anything. The taste and the flavours were out of this world. We have eaten in Many places around the world. An the last time I personally had food that was at such a high standard, was 2001 in Majorca!And my special eating requirements were understood gracefully and met. We had the lamb one night and the fish cakes the next night. An I honestly couldn’t pick a favourite as they are absolutely gorgeous.An I am willing to drive from West Lothian and back home for this grade of food. That speaks volumes.The staff -Honestly you could not meet nicer people. Very friendly, very welcoming. They made us feel like we were part of their community.On our last day there we were told we had a surprise waiting when we reserved our table at the bar for our last nights drinks, they got us a lovely wedding gift. Very thoughtful and greatly received.It’s not often you make friends on holidays. Especially from the staff. But we will be keeping in contact. An we will venture back up for some exceptional food for a day out!So for anyone attending this amazing pub/restaurant, you won’t regret it. The only regret you will have is, if you don’t visit.An I am willing to drive from West Lothian and back home for this grade of food. That speaks volumes.Prices are reasonable also. I would pay more for the great flavours.

Delicious fresh local fish, local beer and great service. Family friendly, our 4 year old very well looked after, great kids menu. Just off main street, could miss if you don't venture from front only a few mins away. Really nice little pub too.

Excellent and great food. My partner said the Guinness was great and the best fish and chips in the east neuk. The lamb koftas were really good too. Happy for our dog to be there too, provided a bowl of water for her. Great place, highly recommend. Oh, and the home made meringue, local strawberry and cream dessert was fantastic!

A hidden gem of the East Neuk,in fact foodie heaven destination no.1! Doggy friendly for sure. Please put this on your list. The most delicious fresh food obviously delicately prepared and lovingly picked. Nothing was too much trouble, staff went out of their way to ensure we had the most relaxed, chilled out time. Beer garden is glorious escapism.. on a gorgeous sunny day you forget where you are and are just looked after completely.

Friendly staff and locals made us feel very welcome in the bar.Delicious burgers and one of the best sticky toffee puddings we’ve had anywhere.Well worth visiting The West End Bar when you’re in Pittenweem. Oonagh and Laura made us feel very welcome.

We had a lovely evening dinner at The West End Bar. The service was amazing - the owner was very attentive and explained her husband was the chef. The food was outstanding - all freshly prepared and cooked to order - triple cooked chips we’re phenomenal. What an absolute gem to find in Pittenweem.

Hi, turn up at what we as a group of six people to go for pub food. How wrong can you be? Sat promptly and drinks delivered right away and we ordered different items from the menu. Lamb koftas excellent, falafel excellent, pasta and burgers( one for the special boy who doesn’t like sauces) excellent. Rhubarb fool dessert was raved about in the corner. Guinness was perfect with the surprise shamrock on the top(nice).Servers are friendly and fun. It’s not a pub it’s a restaurant with a pub. Bravo. We loved it, you should book this NOW!

Second week of eating and drinking in the West End Bar after work. Enjoyed quesadillas and chips, thoroughly enjoyed it. This week i had the burger and chips, which again were delicious. Great atmosphere, and friendly and welcoming owners and staff. Would recommend a visit. Booking advisable under current circumstances.

You forget about the chill when your meal arrives. Starters of nachos and prawn cocktail. Main was tempura prawns with chips. I must use the old cliche the “ best ever that I have tasted”.They were a taste delight. The chef perfected the triple fry chips during lockdown.Time well spent the batter so light and the inside was like soufflé.Slick and pleasant service with blankets available. The beer and wine selection is very good.Will alfresco dinning in winter catch on? Yes. When the food is this good.

We visited here a few times during our stay in Pittenweem. From the moment we entered the bar, we were received with a warm welcome from Oonagh and the locals. Our dog Indie was given just as much of a welcome than we were. The bar itself is warm and inviting and in times like these, they managed to maintain this as well as keeping with the social distance rules. Conversations flowed between all visitors within the bar and it provided a lovely atmosphere. We ate in here on one occasion and the food was of high quality, fresh and tasty. An impressive gantry of drinks as well as a selection of drafts and ales available.Please do visit here if you are staying or passing through Pittenweem, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for your hospitality and making our stay special !

Popped along to the West End bar yesterday for lunch whilst staying at my parents. Really pleased to see vegan options on the menu including Quesadillas, hot dogs and burgers! The burger was delicious. Covid safe with excellent service and our dogs were well looked after. It's great to see a new life for this lovely traditional pub in a beautiful village. We will be back!

Five of us had dinner here and, without exception, described the food as excellent. Service couldn't have been better and the guy who looked after us (think he was the owner) was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and made us feel very welcome. This isn't a "high end" restaurant but it is, certainly, a place I would revisit before anywhere else in the area.

Mixed review.I had Excellent fish and chips.Excellent staff very friendly, good service. My wife had Scampi tails which were clearly out of a box, when commented upon to the waiter the answer came back that they had been supplied by a local fish monger, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t come out of a box. They probably don’t know if they will sell any prawns that night or next so they use the frozen option. Would be better if they didn’t put it on the menu. People want fresh food not OUT OF A BOX. Very disappointed @ £12:50 The write up says young couple making a big change and improving the qualgity, well be careful not to damage your reputation.

Ate here at the weekend with two friends, one of whom had not visited previously and who was well impressed by the friendly atmosphere, good food, reasonably prices and excellent service (to the extent that a bottle of her favourite tipple had been bought in specially!).Two of us had the chilli con carne and one had a cajun chicken burger. We tried the orange posset for dessert and it was delicious. All very good and we will definitely be back.

We were visiting over the Christmas break, due to us staying next to the harbour we used the harbour bar which was ok. We stumbled across The West End Bar and wished we had come here sooner. It was great, friendly and all the regulars made you feel welcome. I didn't want to leave. Its a cracking wee bar within the hotel and my wee dog was also wanting to stay. Highly recommend and next time in the area will be back.

Have seen many reviews on Facebook and wanted to try and see if it lives upto the hype, I am happy to report that it was excellent and well worth the high praise everyone is giving. Few reviews complaining about the service but we couldn't have been looked after any better. Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon as must have been half a dozen items on the menu that I want to try

Excellent experience. Busy night but great food and service. Mussels were fabulous as was the steak and the cod. Lovely girls Louise and Alice were super busy but were so obliging and cheerful. Given the current situation we felt very lucky. Hats off !!
