The Bothy St Andrews
The Bothy is a Scottish restaurant tucked into Church Square, a quiet corner off the main streets of St Andrews. Menus follow the seasons and Scottish suppliers, the bar leans on whisky and local spirits, and dogs are welcome in the downstairs dining room.

On the plate
The Bothy's official menus describe traditional Scottish cooking, with daily specials and seasonal changes. See the official menu for the venue's current menus and drinks list; dishes may change on the day.
The rooms
Inside it is rustic: bare sandstone walls, a fireplace and wooden furniture set against bold floral fabrics. The Scullery is one of the dining rooms, there is a garden for light lunches and drinks, and the first-floor private dining room seats up to 24, which suits family celebrations or a golf group dinner. It is a cosy choice on a cold evening.
Who it suits
Dog owners, for a start: dogs are welcome downstairs, with bowls and treats laid on. It is also a good choice for visitors wanting Scottish food in a cosy setting without leaving the town centre. Holy Trinity Church is next door and the shops of Market Street and South Street are a minute away. Booking is wise at weekends.
