The 19th Hole - Fife

Chef works well with presentation of food, but it did not make the food tasty nor did it make me scrape the plate wishing there was more. I found the Food...

Four adults on a Saturday night made reservation for evening meal. Both pub and restaurant were very busy on arrival, but we were seated promptly with a friendly greeting. Large choice on menu for all tastes with good Scottish fare all across the selections. Menu can be a bit confusing with all the different sections named after golfing terms, but all four of us managed to find starters and main courses that we were going for. Overall, excellent meal, service and very reasonable priced. We are local so will be visiting again!

Nice place located on a scenic area. Watch out if ordered steak as no price on menu, paid £30 for a sirloin I would say was not worth the money. Food was good and staff helpful.

So four of us for lunch today plus our dog. Two fish chips, one steak pie and one half kilo ribs. Two white wines, two gin and tonics, one pint and two fizzy waters. Total bill including tip £110. Fish and chips and steak pie where all very good. The challenge was the ribs as it was almost impossible to eat them. Firstly they filled the plate as they were very large bones, so no room to work as I discovered when my handful of chips and onion ring went onto the table! I did ask for a steak knife but even that could not separate the ribs. I gave up after a few ribs. Usually good ribs can be separated with your figures. The only way you are eating these ribs is if the chef chops them Up prior to leaving the kitchen. They were tasty with a nice BBQ sauce. Anyway eventually I gave up and eat the small portion of chips, one onion ring and half corn on cob. Also the serving staff did not provide napkins until asked and there were no wipes , very messy. I did give feedback and with hindsight I should have sent it back at the start. However afterwards no apology given or offer of removing from bill anything. Anyway next time I will have the fish. I do suggest the owner or manager tries eating them to see if they agree with my feedback.

The 19th is a great little bar with a separate dining space and some tables in the bar. We'd booked ahead and had a lovely big table at the window. Coincidentally we all had the same dinner choices mozarella tomato starter followed by panko crumbed fish'n'chips all delicious ! We sampled a beer or two, enjoyed some wine and coffee in a relaxed atmosphere. The team looking after us are great fun sorted wheelchair entry/access for me.
