Reviews on Pub food in Glenrothes, Scotland, United Kingdom. Glenrothes ( listen (help·info); /ɡlɛnˈrɒθɪs/, glen-ROTH-iss; Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Ràthais) is a town situated in the heart of Fife, in east-central Scotland. It is located approximately 30 miles (48 km) from both Edinburgh, which lies to the south and Dundee to the north. The town had a population of 39,277 in 2011 as recorded by the census, making it the third largest settlement in Fife and the 18th most populous settlement in Scotland. The name Glenrothes comes from its historical link with the Earl of Rothes who owned much of the land upon which the new town has been built; "Glen" (Scottish for valley) was added to the name to avoid confusion with Rothes in Moray and in recognition that the town lies in a river valley. The motto of Glenrothes is "Ex terra vis", meaning "From the earth strength", which dates back to the founding of the town.

We entered this establishment this morning, around 10.45 on May 2nd, in search of breakfast. The unedifying sight of cigarette ends protruding from the receptacle at the front door almost did for us, but, having been disappointed by our usual breakfast providers, Banners House Hotel - supposedly 'closed for maintenance' - we were desperate. Desperate... and about to be disappointed for the second time in close succession. If there were any staff, after 5 minutes they had failed to appear, and a quick search did not uncover them. Perhaps they are unused to customers at this time of day. Perhaps they do not want customers at this time of day. Bear this in mind if you find yourself in Markinch, and hoping for a Full Scottish.

I visited here at the weekend with my family, it was reserved the week before, as there was 10 of us, all adults. When we arrived the bar area was fairly quiet with plenty empty tables, however we were taking into the conservatory area to be seated, all the other tables in this area were joined up to form an 18th birthday party! None of us could hear each another talk due to the noise from the other guests, even my mother who was sat next to me struggled to hear me talk, it was appalling. We all had main meals only, which took 1 hour & 15 mins to arrive. We sat through the noise to eat our meals and moved into the bar area after our main meal. There were people shouting, children screaming & running around the room, singing, fireworks etc which is great had we been invited to the party but not just a random table sat next to them! When this was mentioned to the staff, we were rudely advised 'there is nothing we can do about noise'... What I don't understand is why put any table next to an 18th birthday party in the first place, as when we rung to book this, we were given the time to arrive by your staff!!? It was a farewell meal for a family member & was absolutely ruined by the noise & staff who need to learn what customer service actually is!!!!! You were happy to take our £100 but not any criticism, I would not recommend & certainly won't be back...

Saw the good reviews so we visited for lunch today. Basic but clean decor and the waiting staff are very friendly efficient and polite. We ordered garlic mushrooms in a creamy white wine sauce and chicken goujons for starters, the goujons looked homemade and were tasty but the accompanying salad leaves were a little discoloured, the garlic mushrooms had very little sauce and what sauce there was was actually black mushrooms were also rather cold portion was also very small - these were returned to the kitchen - see photo Mains ordered were steak burger with cheese and bacon also breaded fish with veg and salad. The burger was rather greasy and lacked flavour, the fish arrived with no veg and chips which I didnât order, with small amount of salad again looking rather discoloured and quite a lot of stalks. The fish was well cooked and tasty but the chips and salad were left uneaten. The dining area is rather noisy with kids running around and the coffee machine being knocked about on a regular basis. The food is inexpensive and 50% is tasty and well cooked ( goujons/fish â mushrooms/burger â) I might be wasting my time replying.... but here goes.You didn't like the Mushrooms starter (one of our very popular dishes) This sometimes happens in the trade, so when my wife explained how the dish is cooked, she offered you another dish as an option.... you said no you didn't want anything else. We told that we would remove the starter from your bill. Your mains arrived and you managed to eat all the "tasteless greasy burger" and our lovely fish. Although you complained about receiving a portion of chips even though you had asked for none. My lovely wife apologised for this terrible atrocity and offered you a free sweet.... you declined our offer.Before I wrote this reply I read many of your reviews already posted and see a trend of an unhappy individual trailing round the country as a wannabe Michelin inspector. Your Foxtons bar review in particular seems to display your trait of belittling establishments.I'm sure you want me to say that we have sacked the waiter and chef and barred any children from our establishment on the back of your review! Sorry no... .We are a small pub in a fife housing estate who trys very hard to provide decent food at a reasonable price to our local family's and regular happy visitors. If we fail to meet our own high standards we try our best to rectify it at source.Sadly, You seemed hellbent on giving us a poor review... can I suggest you avoid our pub in the future and eat somewhere that already has a Michelin star? You may have to spend more than £20 though!

Took two friends with us to revisit the Plough, which I hadn't visited for years.It was better than I remembered it and well worth the detour around back roads to reach it. Super friendly welcome, extensive (but not too expensive) menu from which we all chose different dishes and none of us was disappointed. Their cups of soup of the day were big and hot and excellent value for money.
