The Inn At Kingsbarns

What a find. Staying in St Andrews and visiting the distillery - looked online for lunch and found this little gem. Quality food at a very reasonable price. Service was spot on. Restaurant very small so book to avoid disappointment. There’s also a lovely beer garden if the weather allows. Can’t wait to return.

Having read some of the reviews ,we decided to give the Inn a visit . Table booked in the Snug . We both ordered fish and chips . The price is reasonable for what you get - frozen chips - frozen peas and what we think was frozen pre battered fish - not the consistency or appearance of locally sourced fresh fish . Disappointing...... The puddings at £5.50 are overpriced . My wife chose a strawberry crepe . This came cold with no chocolate sauce as advertised , a very few chopped strawberries and cream out of a squirty can ! Very poor indeed . Asked for the sauce - it came with no apology Sticky toffee pudding was ok but a bit pricey for what you get in quality - With all of the above said , we would have been happy had the service been acceptable. The young girl who served was not trained to converse with customers . Our wine and glasses were “flung” on the table . At one point we were asked if the food “tasted “ok . I asked for the bill - this came and was dropped in front of my wife -literally! We left a bit sad as we had hoped to come back again . Nobody said goodbye. See you again .Did you enjoy your meal ? Nothing . We hate to leave bad reviews but what we read online and on the hotels website is not what we experienced. Sorry .

This is a community owned Inn that serves 'pub' food of high quality. The menu is quite limited, but includes a vegan option. The quality of the food served we found to be excellent - well prepared and presented. The Cullen Skink was very good, and the breaded fish excellent; the cheesecake was similarly very good. There are a good range of beers. We ate in the bar - a quite small area with 4 or so tables, but with lots of atmosphere. There is also a dining room which is quieter. This is not fine dining, but for a very pleasant reasonably priced meal out this takes some beating.
