Birdies St Andrews

What it is

Birdies describes itself as independent and 'born in a takeaway', and the business has since grown a golf-flavoured lifestyle side with its own clothing range. The kitchen sticks to crowd-pleasers: pizzas, burgers and other freshly made hot meals for collection or delivery through its own online ordering. It is a takeaway first and foremost, so think of it as somewhere to grab food rather than linger over dinner.

When it works best

This is the kind of place you use at the end of a long day on the links, or when a group in a holiday let wants food without booking a table. Ordering ahead online saves waiting at busy times, especially on weekend evenings and during term, when the town fills with students. Groups of golfers sharing a house often find a big pizza order the simplest way to feed everyone, and the website advertises its own deals and discounts, so it is worth a look before you order.

Around Bell Street

Bell Street runs between Market Street and South Street, so you are a couple of minutes from most of the town's pubs and cafés. If you'd rather eat fish and chips, the Tailend is a short walk away on Market Street, and Aikman's is close by for a drink afterwards. The harbour and the castle are both within about ten minutes on foot if you fancy eating outside on a dry evening.
