Criterion Public House - Fife

Went here for dinner last week, and I have to say food and service was of the highest quality, We were made to feel really welcome from the moment we walked in the door and although it was really busy never had to wait for drinks or food service. Would recommend it to anyone visiting St Andrews and will definitely be back for another pie.

We popped in for a drink. The staff were so nice and the atmosphere lovely. We ended up staying for dinner, which was delicious. Had a lovely evening!

This is by far our favourite pub in St Andrews added bonus that they serve the best coffee in town great breakfast rolls. Our usual is a roll with Lorne sausage, haggis brown sauce delicious but Chef Mike has added a Belly Buster to the menu which we had to try. Bacon, haggis, Lorne sausage a hash brown while our bellies fortunately didn't burst we didn't need to eat the rest of the day. Definitely worth a visit!

Yet another visit to The Criterion was carried out by myself , my wife, this time with son and fiancee along for the birthday cri-pie. The staff who were working at midday Saturday 25th are a credit to Hazel and a fantastic team. They make you feel valued, treat customers with dignity, respect, a friendly welcome and a smile. Now found the best time to go to make sure we get a table to demolish some pies and some drinks, making our long round trip so much more special. Thanks again team for what you do and how you do it. Fab pies again, whether steak or macaroni, a treat to eat

Took my friend to try out Scottish hospitality that’s relaxed and friendly, with honest food. I’ve wandered past The Criterion a few times over the years….well I’m an idiot for not going in here before! We went for the fish and chips, and the portions are very generous, with a piping hot piece of battered haddock cooked to perfection. We saw the pies going to the other tables……they know what they’re doing here. Great ambiance as happy punters filled the place very quickly. The service was absolutely spot on from the ladies who attended to us, special mention to Sophie who made the best Irish coffee ever and made some recommendations to my friend about places to visit whilst we pottered around St Andrews for the day. We loved it!
