Road Hole Restaurant in Fife

We all loved the place! A friend had recommended the Sunday lunch which was an awesome deal for three delicious courses. A delightful atmosphere, excellent food, and outstanding service. One of the waitresses named Paris recommended wine to go with our food and made sure we were having our best time.

Have been dining at the Road Hole for many years now, always at Christmas time, and it has always been a 5 star experience. This time was no different, every course cooked to perfection, plated perfectly and totally delicious. But from previous years it makes me a little sad to see the menu become somewhat downgraded and limited. It seems to be trending towards being just a grill restaurant - for main course, the options were steak, steak, steak, venison, cauliflower steak, or halibut. Not being a steak/red meat fan, that leaves just one choice for me. As luck would have it, a great choice that suits me well, but still. In my opinion, the chef and team there are so talented that they're wasted just turning out steaks. The scallops starter and apple millefuille dessert prove that. What's happened to the days of the 7 course taster menu? Hopefully this steak-focus is simply a Covid necessity and the menu will expand again soon. The price is certainly still at fine-dining levels. But with the Swilkin loft next door (where we haven't been) offering more variety I really hope the vision here isn't to lose fine dining and have the Road Hole become an expensive Sands grill in essence - as I said, it has been a masterclass in fine dining for so long that would be a real shame. One other slight wrong note - no dessert wine available on the day (from only one menu option by the glass) and the port ordered as a replacement had also ran out. Not a disaster but again, hoping that isn't indicative of a move away from a proper fine dining experience. However, to come back - the meal itself was truly superb, a great experience. Staff were excellent as always too.

Stopped for a scotch and the view after walking the old course. Great spot to unwind. Our server was well versed in the scotch selection without even looking at the menu!

Food okay and service is well meaning, view makes it worth it. Only point to caĺl out from most recent visit was the Lobster special - truly unique - the smallest lobster you will ever find in the East Neuk of Fife.

We were a group of six celebrating graduation, and we had such a perfect experience dining at the Road House. Fantastic food, gorgeous view, and the absolute best service imaginable from our server, Tom. He made the night so comfortable and special— we really couldn’t stop talking about it! Thanks for such a memorable night!

Nice view and very friendly kids menu. Food are ok but most people come for the view!
