Profile
This bright and cheery new addition to Fife’s food scene is in a handy location between Hillend and Crossgates in West Fife. With ample parking, a play area for children, and outdoor seating for those with canine friends, there is lots happening to see, do and taste. Hens are clucking about, alpacas grazing contentedly, meet Pamela the bunny, along with peacocks, ducks and guinea fowl. The café rests on a rise in the landscape offering beautiful rural views south over Fife and beyond. Now with a Farm Shop under their management.
Ray creates fabulous sponges and home-baked treats to accompany the whole gambit of teas and coffees; varied salads and gourmet toasties, steaming soups and his own special take on burgers. He is sourcing his ingredients from as many local suppliers as possible and is passionate about the food he cooks. Whilst there is a menu, his daily blackboard offers a cornucopia of other options, often accompanied with fresh salad leaves from his adjacent greenhouse. Ray focusses on being as zero food miles as possible, serving local game from hunters through the onsite butcher that is also located in this rural community.
My chef salad (pictured) was brimming with crunch and flavours, colours and juiciness – a healthy vibrant meal. Ray also supports other local butchers, sourdoughs and charcuterie.
So far only open Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays until 3pm. A lovely place to pause.
