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.

Serendipity. Much better than that which we were seeking. ‘Seed to Plate’ invites you in, with an implicit promise of wholesome care and diffidence, a promise fulfilled. Eat well, in the broadest sense of that phrase, and feel good about yourself and the impact you have.

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 best meal we had in Scotland. Multi course meal with choices. Service was really great; their timing was excellent and they created a relaxed feeling meal. Excellent whiskey selection as well. Will be back!! Highly recommend the sea trout.

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.

Super carry out fish and chips. Beautifully cooked fresh fish, and an over abundance of chips. Scampi and smoked sausage suppers were all first class. Expensive perhaps, but worth it for the quality.

Best gelato I have ever had!! I ordered the sea salt dark chocolate and the crema di lemon and they were so delicious! Tables for seating inside and service is very friendly. Quite a busy spot. I will definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Amazing. Honestly the selection we tried on holiday was all wonderful. I especially loved the coffee tower. Obviously it was all sweet, but surprisingly none of it was sickly sweet. Would definitely recommend!

Had lunch here based on Tripadvisor reviews and I totally agree with the excellent rating for this super cafe! Busy Saturday but quickly seated, order promptly taken and then fantastic tomato and basil soup, egg mayo sandwich on lovely brown bread with salad, cheese and ham toasties with crisps arrived for us to enjoy! Substantial portions filled us up all day on a visit to the University Open Day. We will be back!

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

Please avoid this restaurant at all costs unless you enjoy food poisoning. My family of 3 were the ONLY people in the restaurant for the entire dinner which is never a good sign. We ordered some coley fish with potato gratin. You know when you are eating something that is not quite right, it tasted off but we ate it and did not mention anything to the server. Of course within about 7-8 hours after leaving the restaurant my daughter was violently ill, vomiting with fever. I have since contacted the restaurant but this has been a complete waste of time, the manager was non responsive. There are plenty of good options in St Andrews, this is most definitely not one of them.

Slightly loud music, but we were right under a speaker. Couldn't fault the food as it was excellent. We ended up waiting a while, but this was acknowledged by the staff and recognised with a discount on the bill. This was deeply appreciated, especially as we were entertaining external collaborators. Highly recommend the churros!

The food was very good if you don't mind waiting over 2 hours to get served. The manager did not even care about the wait. We had a reservation at eight but didn't get our dinner till after ten. What a way to ruin a gray day.

Great themed pub at an iconic golf course. Situated alongside the famous Road Hole (17th Fairway). Decor, atmosphere was authentic with many pictures and paintings showing the history and legends of golf. Had a reservation for four but place wasn’t busy. Staff were very welcoming, professional, attentive and should be commended for their work ethic. Entire place was clean including the restrooms. We ordered 2 fish and chips, 1 fish with onion rings, 1 burger, cokes and tea. The chips on the fish and burger were a mixture of fresh and old from previous frying. The fish itself was tasty and cooked well, batter was light and airy but with no taste and could have been better drained of oil. Burger was fine but nothing special. Prices are steep but expected due to the location. Not overly impressed but not put off returning with other golfing enthusiasts.

Food looked good...drinks expensive
