West End Bar And Gantry in Fife

Was supposed to be dinner for two but Mrs M was poorly and unable to join me. I went ahead with my booking and was given the option (as a single diner) to eat in the bar. Food was class, service was excellent and ambiance not bad either! Second time I’ve eaten here and won’t be the last - it’s a gem and well worth a visit! Thanks for looking after me.

I write this whilst still sitting in the bar just finishing some after dinner drinks. We had the whitebait, blue murder salad; followed by the steak frites (cooked to our liking) and then cheese and lemon posset. The food was incredible, as was the service, the lovely lady serving us was highly knowledgeable about our wine and the whole experience was wonderful. Thank you to all for a lovely, lovely night, you should definitely try it out if in the area!

What a terrific bar this is. Staff are so friendly and helpful, even welcomed us back and remembered our order after only one visit... now that's really impressive. Great beers and a friendly atmosphere. Best bar I've been in .... ever.

Refreshments after our dog walk...Always a warm welcome in the local, dog friendly, West End Bar, Pittenweem! Cosy traditional pub. Open mic night with Chris Peebles on the last Sunday of the month.. Fantastic local talent. We'll be back!

The food and service was amazing, child friendly. We will be back 🤩

Great wee pub in Pittenweem. Friendly staff and locals up for a blether!

Friendly, atmospheric fishing village pub

A proper local pub……oh how we should treasure these. The local (Anstruther) ale was spot on, only matched by the friendly locals. Will be back……soon……and possibly for food as that looks great as well. Very dog friendly 🐶👌

Cosy snug bar with a large selection of drinks. Beer garden at the back.Really friendly and well worth a visit if visiting The East Neuk.

Highly recommend this great little pub/bistro, fabulous food, service and atmosphere you won't be disappointed

Super friendly and cosy atmosphere.

A great wee pub. A good range of choice. Very friendly and a nice wee beer garden.

What a little gem in Pittenweem, sadly we only discovered this at the end of our holiday. Don’t be fooled by what looks like a little local bar, we were warmly welcomed through the bar to another room with the atmosphere of an intimate French Bistro restaurant, tastefully decorated and lit by candlelight. A menu with something for everyone and produce from the locality, everything was cooked very well and it was delicious, the home made treacle soda bread and focaccia was superb, the steak frites cooked to perfection and let’s not mention the sticky toffee pudding, we succumbed and were not disappointed. Thank you to the hosts who welcomed us in and we enjoyed a pre dinner drink in the bar with the friendly regulars. Would definitely eat here again, would advise booking in advance.

A dog friendly pub with pleasant and helpful staff. The fish and vegetarian dishes were very good. There was also an extensive whisky menu. I would recommend making a reservation.

The West End Bar was the most welcomed respite from a hot day in Pittenweem. It's a few blocks away from the seaside but offers a calm and quaint pub atmosphere. I wish we had asked the name of the manager, but she took the time to tell us about the French wine nights and the way she lit up speaking of it was really lovely. She is clearly passionate about good drinks and good food. Very hospitable. And the food! Absolutely delicious. Fresh treacle soda bread and focaccia with rosemary olive oil and balsamic vinegar, Scottish cheddar (like a hard mozzarella with an old cheddar taste) with fig jam and stone baked crackers, a chorizo quesadilla, and a goat cheese salad with walnuts, plus a nice red wine... A feast! Cannot recommend the West End Bar enough!

Stopped in for a drink and also had a quesadilla with chorizo which was great with the hot sauce and the service was excellent too- it’s a great bar that I’ve passed many times- will be back to sample some more food and drink for sure.

We had an amazing meal here on our first night of our holidays. Food was absolutely delicious - locally smoked trout a real highlight - and service so welcoming for us and our Westie.

Nice food, nice choice of drinks and very nice staff.

Best pub in Pittenweem, a nice local pub close to the Centre of the Village. Serves all the mandatory beers, lagers and ciders for a Scottish pub. Cozy atmosphere and nice people.

I was at this Restaurant for my 50th Birthday Weekend 🎂!! Service 10/10, Food 10/10, Recommend Yes

We always recommend the West End because we enjoy going there ourselves. The other night was no exception - delicious starters, scampi, and steak frites perfectly cooked by Tim and friendly, attentive service from Oonagh. They have a good drinks list too. Thank you for another lovely evening.

Came for dinner as staying nearby. Warm welcome from the owner and lovely little dining area food was amazing all cooked fresh, steak frites and burger were our choices highly recommend. Fantastic service and hospitality oh and the sticky toffee pudding - yum!

WONDERFUL - JUST WONDERFUL! OUR FAMILY OF 5 - INCLUDING 3 TEENS (18,18 & 13) ALL SAVOURED STEAK FRITES - FLATIRON STEAK (SHOULDER CUT) SUPERBLY COOKED MEDIUM RARE BY TIM THE CHEF (& CO OWNER). SERVED BY THE LOVELY OONAGH. £22 A PORTION - WORTH EVERY PENNY - SERVED WITH MINI POTS OF PEPPERCORN SAUCE. SERVICE CHARGE INCLUDED IN £149 TOTAL BILL. QUIET BACKROOM RESTAURANT - MAYBE SOME SOFT BACKGROUND MUSIC REQUIRED, BUT A TINY QUIBBLE IN A TOWERING TRIUMPH OF A SUPER DINING EXPERIENCE. PUB IS LOCATED HANDILY FOR THE HARBOUR AND THE MAIN ROAD TO ANSTRUTHER. WE'LL BE BACK NEXT SUMMER - I PRAY THAT STEAK FRITES WILL STILL BE ON THE MENU. PS STRONGLY ADVISE BOOKING TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT - CLOSED ON MONDAYS (I THINK!)

We visited the West End bar last October and had an incredible meal, we booked and returned again for the last night of our holiday in July as a treat. I'd love to pick a favourite from the three courses (pate with raisin toast, steak frites with peppercorn sauce - this is the best steak you will ever eat and the sticky toffee pudding), but I can't, the quality of he food and cooking is incredible - this is a real find and very reasonably priced. Service is friendly and excellent and it's a lovely relaxed environment. Oh and its dog friendly. Can't recommended enough. Go!

Recommend...My husband had the trout and I had the roast vegetables tart, both fabulous. Definitely would return. Menu was very good. Also our Dog was most welcome which definitely is appreciated.

Went here for a meal , the food was excellent Very reasonably priced, staff friendly definitely worth a visit. Whisky menu very interesting too

having tried Haddock and chips in restaurants in Crail and Anstruther, glad we made it to The West End Bar (the name doesn't suggest the quality of the food served ) The fish was by far the best I had tasted, and was perfectly cooked. The dessert, affogato with sherry soaked raisins, was delicious.The whole experience was excellent and as mentioned in previous reviews the food , staff, wine and the cosy bar all added to an excellent evening.

Live music on last Sunday of the month. VG.

Excellent wee pub . Visited with our two wee dogs . We had delicious fish and chips- lovely , light batter - and a large goat cheese salad which was a perfect evening meal for me. Beer on tap was good and prices for our two cocktails were reasonable . Service from the barman was faultless and he was very welcoming . Will definitely visit again when we’re fortunate enough to overnight in Pittenweem .

Loved it loved it loved it. Sorry it's not more explicit but we did really love our meal here. Exceeded our expectations and the wine was superb.

Lovely friendly people, super dog friendly and most importantly fantastic food. Highly recommend, worth a trip if you’re not staying in pittenweem

What a fabulous friendly amazing gem of a place We had a beer in here the night before and came back for dinner the next night. If you love dogs and bring your fur baby - they are made to feel so welcome The owners...

Not the first time I’ve been and certainly won’t be the last! Had a meal with my friend whilst on holiday and we were not disappointed! Cooked from fresh and the quality was exceptional. From standard pub fair to more up market this pub has...

Had a lovely meal here. Reasonable prices and the fish was as fresh as it comes. Very friendly staff and the land lady was charming. Highly recommended and book in advance ……because this place was busy , even on a Wednesday night.

We were in Pittenweem for a week and visited the pub every night, except for Tuesday when it is closed. We got a fantastic welcome from Michael the barman who was super friendly and helpful with advice on the local area. Also, the pub is...

We chose to eat at the West End Bar based on Tripadvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The food in the cosy, candlelit restaurant was outstanding and the service was warm and friendly. A family party of 5, we started with some delicious home-made...

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant, there were four of us, three opted for the Scampi and one for the Steak Frites, all of which were delicious. The deserts sticky toffee pudding and nut sundae also went down a treat. The staff were...

The West End Bar is a must if you're travelling through or staying in Pittenween. The fish and Chips was the best i've had. The Steak was cooked to perfection. Service was also top notch. Highly recommend

Fantastic bar and restaurant. Food is fabulous, the staff are very attentive and the locals very friendly.. A wonderful venue which I can highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again

Lovely food, all local fish and meats freshly and expertly cooked. Would definitely return and recommend

Awesome no nonsense pub with lots of friendly locals and a few nice drams on offer

What a fabulous dinner, the only thing better was the amazing service. With two children who were tired the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. The food was superb and really tasty, the freshly made pate to start was delicious, the steak perfectly cooked and...

Had a fabulous meal in this family friendly pub. The food was delicious and will definitely be back when we next visit Pittenweem. I had the flatiron steak and frites and it was cooked to perfection, it came with a tasty peppercorn sauce. Service was...

We stayed in Pittenweem this last weekend as we couldn’t get booked anywhere at St Andrew’s but so glad we did as we would not have found this fabulous restaurant! It was easily the best meal we have had in a long time with great...

Actually a decent pub, made good gin and tonics and we watched the rugby six nations. I’ve marked down as it was a cold March day and there was no heating on even though it was busy. Sitting with jackets and scarves on is not the cosy Scottish pub vibe we were hoping for. They do have an outdoor area so may be better in summer. It’s in beautiful Pittenweem so we had walked the stunning coastal path, and it’s right next to the bus stop so handy for getting back.

Popped in on Christmas Day for a few beers. Lady behind the bar was really friendly and made me feel welcome. Nice local pub, definitely one to visit again.

Our party of 5 dined there in July 2022. Steak Frites all-round was our unanimous choice for mains - for my wife & I, our twin daughters (17) and son (12). Slightly surprised when informed - it comes medium-rare - but that's how we'd probably...

We dropped in for dinner the first night of our stay, and were lucky to get a table (next time we'll book). Local food, with sources all listed on the menu, well cooked and presented, and very friendly and efficient staff. Highlights were the hake...

Good food, well presented by friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal including the Scottish charcuterie, the steak hangar was melt in the mouth and delicious.

Lovely staff, great food and dog friendly.

Friendly staff good food good drinks

Love this pub but hadn't eaten here for a while. There's lots of choice including fish and chips but decided to go for something different and had a delicious lunch of hake, romesko sauce and roast potatoes. Staff very friendly and couldn't do enough for...

Very cute location with very kind waiter. The food was delicious and very versatile. We'll be back soon.

Great food and atmosphere and dog friendly

Lovely food and wine front of house manager/owner was very knowledgeable on food and wine. Dog friendly too thoroughly enjoyed the food 😋

Third time truly lucky as we tried to eat here - make sure you book in advance as it’s fully booked for a reason! A great little pub with such welcoming staff, a bar for drinks, and two dining rooms (one dog-friendly) and a real...

Visited three times during a weeks holiday in the village. A great local cider in the beer garden on a sunny Sunday. The welcome was really warm and the cider was a great recommendation. First dinner was the steak and chips which was superb. The...

We stopped here today for a lovely lunch. The food was great and the staff were also super friendly. Would highly recommend.

Really super restaurant. The food was good. They catered really well for vegetarians. Our server (I assume the owner?) was lovely. Nice setting. Thoroughly recommend.

Totally brilliant dinner in a welcoming pub. Gorgeous prawns, smoked salmon, hake with romesco, and steak. Very highly recommended.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff really enjoyed our visit.

Food was delicious. Try this restaurant you won’t be disappointed . Very friendly staff we will be back.

excellent food & friendly service....pint of prawns/langoustines...steak & burger were outstanding as was the sticky toffee pudding

Laura, the barmaid is a credit to the pub. So friendly & welcoming. We had Sunday lunch but they don't offer a roast. We both had scampi & chips & shared the cheeseboard for dessert. The crackers were small compared to the lump of cheese but we were given some more. We were the only ones in there eating as the arts festival had just finished. Dog friendly which is always a bonus in our eyes.

Friendly wee bar and great prices

Great pub and food. Excellent service. Many thanks!

Booking advised, as we couldn’t get a ‘walk-in’ table on Saturday night, but we did manage to dine-in on Sunday early evening. Good food, cooked very well and served beautifully. The ‘pint of prawns’ had sold out so we ordered steak, and it was exceptional....

A great little pub which has a good selection of beers wines and spirits and serves good food..With friendly staff and a good atmosphere its not to be missed

We enjoyed a great evening in the west end bar and service was fantastic. The food and choice of wine was excellent. Thanks to the chef for the quality of the food.

This was Open week, we knew that everywhere would be incredibly busy, we were a large group of 14, so had booked 6 months in advance ... a new record according to owners Tim & Oonagh ! But it was certainly well worth the wait,...

While staying one village over we were walking through Pittenweem. We were lucky enough to get their final dinner spot reservation. Couldn’t have been more satisfied. We started with the “pint of prawns” which were incredibly fresh - just delivered that morning by a man named David. We had various dishes and each was delicious. We finished with sorbet for dessert. I think what I loved most was the owner and the people who worked here. They were incredibly kind and thoughtful. I loved that the menu had on the bottom the supplier’s name for each type of food they use. All local individuals or small local businesses. I would definitely Italy recommend to travelled or local alike. You’ll be welcomed whole-heartedly.

We popped in for a drink and to book a table for - the staff and bar regulars couldn’t have been more friendly. Dinner was excellent, smoked salmon was one of the best I’ve had. The starters were so good we immediately booked for dinner...

From the moment we walked in we had a warm greeting. The food was absolutely beautiful, you could taste the love the Chef has. I had the vegetable tart which was stunning, my husband had the steak frites - perfect combination. The desserts were also...

Excellent food and service - staff went out of their way to help and everyone was very friendly

Fantastic place. The restaurant has only 3 or 4 tables so reservation is needed. Very friendly barman and the food was top. A real nice pub which also serves great food.

We tried to book the previous night but it was full. So the next night we tried and got the place almost to ourselves! The food was superb; smoked salmon, steak frites and sticky toffee pudding were scrumptious. The steaks in particular were most delicious....

Lovely pub, really dog friendly had a separate dining room for people with dog , which is nice for dog owners and those without as I didn't feel my dog was disturbing other dinners. Most of the food is sourced locally, my husband was disappointed...

Only popped in for a drink into the cosy little lounge area. Trying to get info on bus back to St Monans, staff very helpful but we decided just to get taxi back and they phoned and organised it for us. Appreciated this and thanks....

I have visited this bar a couple of times previously when staying with family who live nearby. On these occasions it has only been for a drink but I have loved the atmosphere and the cosiness of the place. Laura behind the bar is brilliant...

Stopped in while walking from Kings arms,to pittenweem ,camped in field had a chippy from the takeaway then the best sticky toffee pudding from the restaurant, Landlord even brought it through to the bar,👍🥰 A must do if walking the Fife coastal path

My wife, granddaughter and I went along for the Thursday of the platinum Jubilee, a special menu of steak diane and Queen's Pudding. An absolute delight, a chef who knows his stuff and a friendly hostess who was not only keen to ensure we were...

On holiday in Pittenweem, so after reading the good reviews we walked to the (wild) West End. Lovely cosy pub - bar was crowded and buzzing but we were swiftly invited through to the cosy restaurant. Service was prompt and very friendly. Both ordered scampi...

Friendly staff but the real ale on offer was terrible.

What a find the West End pub was. Great atmosphere, lovely secluded and very dog friendly beer garden. All the staff we met were lovely. Sadly only know one by name which was Michael but the young dark haired lady and the blonde lady (dating...

Pre booked a table for Saturday evening meal on the strength of earlier reviews. We were given a warm welcome by the staff but surprised to see only one other group of 3 dining at the same time as us. The menu was fairly limited....

Very friendly bar and restaurant. The barmaid (Laura?) is such an asset. So friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant is also great. We had steak-frites for our main, which was superb. Very tender steak, and served the way you get it in France,...

We had a great dinner and then moved to the pub side. The desserts were outstanding and the patrons and staff were just lovely.

Just ate in west end bar food lovely staff amazing especially laura who is just made for hospitality trade would highly recommend it

A very welcoming, friendly pub with delicious food and great drinks. Really well looked after, would recommend the seafood in particular. Also dog friendly!

Food, staff and ambiance were all great. Made to feel so welcome. Wonderful asset to pittenweem, makes a great village even better

We went into the west end pub a bit later to see if we could eat, we had two golden retrievers with us. Laura was fantastic and managed to get us a meal, the scampi was so delicious! We booked for lunch tue next day in the beer garden and again Laura was so kind and helpful and a great host, got my friends niece a taxi and just made everything so easy. Bowled over by the friendly service! Would go back here in a second, thanks to Laura! Review from Georgia, Lisa and Ghillie and Cooper the dogs! Xxx

Great meal tonight in the westend bar Pittenweem, food was amazing & lovely staff. Well worth a visit. Bar looked busy & worth a visit.

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

Really nice wee Pub, with super friendly staff

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,...

What an absolute wonderful 'wee bar' this is. Just spent a long weekend in Pittenweem and ended up going to the West End Bar 3 times...Extremely friendly locals and staff who create a very welcoming atmosphere...The fire was on and its very cosy. A proper pub 😁

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...

Visited the West End a couple of times with family and our 2 dogs last week and we were bowled over with the welcome we received, the food and service. Can’t wait to go back when we are in the area again. Please visit as...

Brilliant bar and staff who provide a very friendly and warm atmosphere
