A St Andrews staple. When friends or family ask me for recommendations in St Andrews, Balgove Larder is always at the top of my list! First of all, it is quite literally 'farm to table '. The indoor restaurant/cafe and steak barn look onto sheep and cows. The steak barn is infamous for their delicious burgers and truffle fries. I don 't think they have a full bar, but they do serve beer, wine and bottled Eden Mill cocktails. They do a lovely cheese board that is a great starter for the table. What makes Balgove Larder incredibly special is the fact that everything is locally sourced from all over Scotland. They have an adorable shop where you can buy cheeses, meats, jams, soaps and so much more. I could go on and on about what this place has to offer, but words just don 't do it justice. Here are some of my tips for a perfect day at Balgove: 1. If possible, choose a sunny day to go for the best experience. 2. Once again if the weather permits, do not take a taxi there! Instead enjoy a lovely walk along the golf course. I believe it is about 15 minutes from North street. 3. Make sure the steak barn is open, I know their hours can be a bit iffy sometimes. 4. If you plan on exploring the grounds do not wear shoes you value! It can be pretty muddy. Enjoy your visit!

I had an incredible experience attending a masterclass with James Lothian, the head butcher. The session was fantastic, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about knife sharpening. James covered various sharpening systems using both freehand and guided methods with stones. He provided clear explanations on how to properly use sharpening stones and steels, as well as various techniques. He was also more than willing to answer any questions about sharpening technology. Overall, it was an excellent session that was well worth the investment!

From afar, this is one of my favorite places to enjoy breakfast.

This is a fantastic restaurant with a spacious farm shop filled with gorgeous local products. We enjoyed a late lunch featuring delicious soup and probably the best cheese dessert I've ever tasted. The dishes look amazing, and everyone I know highly recommends this place. The staff is lovely, and the atmosphere is clean and safe. We also purchased some meat from the butcher shop, where the staff was very helpful with cooking tips. I will definitely return. I've heard that dining in the steak barn is excellent as well!
