The Waterfront, Anstruther

Good service,good menu, great food

Friendly staff, comfortable surroundings and interesting varied menu. Exactly what we wanted as great start to our touring holiday in Scotland. Wish we were staying longer to sample more.

I had the delight of visiting and staying in the East Neuk of Fife at the Waterfront Anstruther . Upon arrival i found the staff very friendly and the room we were booked for was simply beautiful, First night we dined at the resturant and the food was fantastic service was quick and friendly. Second night we opted for the Waterfront chip shop, even though it was a busy evening the staff were very quick in taking our order and the end result was delicious. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the East neuk to go to the Waterfront, you will not be dissapointed!

My partner and I ordered a " Haddock High tea" from The Waterfront'

The meal was with chips, well cooked and complimented with a fresh mixed salad with a " homemade coleslaw " I do not normally eat coleslaw this was well flavoured tastey and I enjoyed it.

The Scones, Pancake, Cakes and Strawberry Jam was all homemade.

A great High Tea and Value For Money

After being served 4 drinks at The Waterfront, Anstruther one of them alcohol, we then asked for 2 meals to share as we were having a big evening time meal back in Elgin. We were told, seemingly rudely, that the person with alcohol had to have their own meal after being told we could share. We still had two meals and when I helped myself to a chip off my husbands plate I was told I couldn't do that because he had alcohol and had to eat it all himself. We only wanted a snack so if he asked for a doggy bag would he have been refused? Is it illegal for him to give me a share of his dinner all of which he could not and did not want to eat? We were paying for it and have never had this problem in any other venue. Did they just not like the fact that four of us were sharing two meals?

Outstanding room, beautifully modern and clean with all you need and lots of space. Brilliant food - the breakfasts were terrific, especially the sausages and eggs, and the meal at night was superb, especially the red mullet. The staff were cheerful, efficient, couldn't do enough for you, very attentive. Location wise, you're ten steps from the harbour, and although you don't have a sea view from the room, you're far enough back from the street to escape any tourist noise etc, so that's another advantage.All the shops and the bars etc are right there on your doorstep. I can't recommend this place highly enough, we can't wait to go back.

I reserved a single room at the Waterfront for one night in May, and was charged twice for it, once on my debit card and again on my credit card. When I wrote to request a refund, they said that I had reserved for two nights and had left without cancelling the second. I did not book a second night. I wrote to this effect and have received neither letter nor refund as of yet.

Good food & good service but this restaurant won't get much custom from folk who need to drive as this is an absolute rip-off for the price of these soft drinks. These individual prices are not made known to you until you actually receive your bill!

Don't buy the soft drinks stick to the free jugs of water...

If you are looking for a hot meal in a nice surrounding then the waterfront will accommodate but so will other establishments in the area. If you are a foodie who cares about what you put in your mouth and what you pay for , stay away.Anstruther is a beautiful place and I love visiting when I can but it dose need a good restaurant.

We had travelled some distance to get to Anstruther and weren't prepared to wait in the massive queue at the Anstruther Fish Bar (which we probably should have done) for our fish and chips. The fish and chips were nothing special but the service was awful - our waitress was quite rude when we asked for water with our meal and enquired why we were taking so long to be served (40 mins). It might have been an off day here but we did eventually get into the Anstruther Fish Bar later in the week and must admit it was the best fish and chips we have ever experienced plus the service was outstanding!If you aren't a fish and chip connoisseur then probably the Waterfront will suffice your hunger pangs - otherwise stick it out in the queue at the famous Anstruther Fish Bar.
