The best restaurants serving British food in St. Andrews Fife Central Scotland

Now live near Manchester but every time I visit the area I pop into Stuart's shop in St Andrews. Top of the agenda are the unbeatable steak pies which are vastly superior to the offerings down South. I always end up taking several to converts near where I live. They have been enjoyed as far away as the Isle of Man!! My work colleagues always ask when I'm coming up to Scotland so they can savour the pies that cannot be had down here. Remember Stuart and his dad from Tayport over 20 years ago. Definitely the best butcher around with very helpful staff.

What a way to start your day. The setting is perfect. Look out to the Old Course. Staff super helpful. You may see them after golf at the One Under Bar. Many options for breakfast. And they are accommodating for changes.

The Grange is just the place for a comfortable Sunday lunch on a a damp February day. The menu was good and the food tasty and well presented. The service was attentive and friendly -all in all a very good choice.

delicious, super healthy food. got a combo of 3 salads - lentils with roasted carrots, roasted potatoes and third was brussel sprouts with chick peas and a yogurt sauce. Will definitely return!

Been to the restaurant a few times and the food is always great. Staff are attentive and is reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Oh how this place has gone downhill! Almost £35 for 2 and a half fish suppers. Stone cold scraps of chips and tiny fish, staff washing pots and pans in a handwashing sink and the fish fryer blowing his nose and not washing his hands after. We've been going here since they opened and will not be back after tonight. Very disappointed, and to make matters worse they wouldn't answer their phone when we called to complain.

Ice cream amazing as always but it's lost the ice cream parlour feeling I loved. Hardly any tables, bar style seating, too high for my grandchildren. Missed the menu with Sundaes..trying to figure out your own sundae is tricky when there's a big queue behind you.

Best fudge doughnuts I've ever eaten by a distance. An institution in St Andrews for a reason!

This is the best place in town for coffee trip and/or lunch. Staff are superb and the food is excellent. Not fancy but, just what you want especially for lunch. Their soups are 10/10

Great find: unassuming great wee place with friendly staff and decent nosh. Great value especially for St Andrew’s. We will be back.

The venue is temporary closed (Jan 2025). Date for re- opening not known. Will amend this when it does.

Nisse and his team organised a special Menu for my daughters 30th birthday for 20+people on a busy saturday evening. Catered to all dietary requests. Very attentive to all guests

Typical Scottish service ! Employ young inexperienced staff and don’t bother with training. Wines that are hugely marked up but NO sommelier to advise or serve. Steak selection - Fillet or 🤨Fillet ! I find amateur service a common theme in supposedly top end restaurants/ hotels in most of UK. In Europe you can visit a revisit a restaurant after 10 years and probably be welcomed by same professional staff. Sommeliers who are sharp and knowledgeable offering great wines at reasonable markup’s. It doesn’t happen in UK. There was a young server at breakfast who looked like he still had the shirt he slept in that week on for work. My wife and I always come back from ‘5star’ UK short breaks with the same conclusion. No wonder we cruise ! Long live Seabourn , Crystal and Silversea they are worth every penny. Unfortunately unlike hospitality in our own country.

Great atmosphere, service, and food. So much history.

Lovely pub with great staff . Great selection of beers and food was lovely. We had lunch tea and breakfast all where fab . Will be back soon hopefully
