| Where to eat & drink: |
Several hotels in Falkland all doing bar lunches, also a couple of tea rooms. There's also a choice of places in Auchtermuchty and Newburgh. Probably the best pub in Newburgh is the one you'll see with tables outside in the main
street.
There's a pub in Gauldry, but the choice of food is limited - choice of food shops pubs and tea rooms in Newport however. There are shops in Leuchars and Guardbridge, which might be handy if you are planning a picnic
at Kinshaldy beach in Tentsmuir forest (a lovely quiet beach).
St Andrews has lots of eating establishments and pubs, Littlejohns Restaurant is recommended but there are plenty of others. There's a pub in Pitscottie, but the choice is
greater in Ceres. Despite the name there is no inn at Chance Inn. |
