The Tailend St Andrews

A fish family

Four generations of the Spink family have worked with fish, and that shows in the menu. Fish and chips is the mainstay, but there is a wider range of fish and shellfish, including Arbroath smokies, the hot-smoked haddock that is one of the Angus coast's best-known foods, and hot smoked salmon. It is the place for anyone who wants to try a smokie without heading up the coast to Arbroath itself.

Eat in or take away

You can sit down in the restaurant or order click-and-collect and carry your fish and chips down to the harbour or the Scores. Eating in suits a family meal or a rainy evening; taking away is the classic option on a fine day. The takeaway counter can get busy at teatime in the holiday season, so ordering ahead online is the simplest way to avoid a queue.

On Market Street

Market Street is one of the town's three main streets, so the Tailend is easy to combine with an afternoon of shopping or a walk. It is a natural refuel after a stretch of the Fife Coastal Path, and the cathedral, castle and harbour are all within about ten minutes on foot. Families will find it a dependable, unfussy choice, and it is a good alternative to the town's pricier sit-down restaurants.
