Had an excellent dinner there on Saturday evening. Every course was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Outstanding !

My experience was okay at the Boar’s Head, but I wasn’t wowed as I had hoped. The food was good and evidently ingredients were of high quality, but I do think there were elements to the dinner service that let the experience down. Didn’t ruin the meal, but I felt were quite amateurish mistakes? Firstly, the starters arrived before any drinks did. I was told that’s because I ordered a cocktail. My fault? Sorry. Then, the bottle of wine arrived with its cork already removed. We didn’t want to cause a fuss so we just drank it, but I really do feel that bottles of wine should be opened table-side, I think that’s just good practice. Then, my dessert wine was served in a chipped glass. I raised this and the waitress apologised and offered to replace it which I declined. I totally appreciate these are just small things. But I do think they make a difference to the experience, that I would want to know about. The waitress was nice and friendly. And I appreciate the commitment to sourcing local ingredients. The chefs are evidently talented.

What a great find while cycling south through Scotland. Arrived late evening to find it was a gastro pub. We were made welcome despite our grubby appearance and the landlord sorted us a meal from the lunchtime menu. We were even recommended a quiet place to camp overnight. A great pub and will definitely visit again.

Had a fantastic lunch with my grandmother and siblings for her birthday. They were very accommodating of my dietary requirements. Staff were friendly, attentive but not intrusive. The main was lovely however the dessert was divine. Katie, our server, was a credit to the establishment - couldn’t be more helpful or cheery. Will be back!Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian options and were able to make it vegan for me upon request

So disappointing. The humous was totally tasteless with wet, soggy decor... (the pansies were pretty ). The pivithier filling was bland, tasteless and overprocessed.Overpriced, mean portions, sold under the guise of " fine dining ".

Truly special and one of a kind

Wonderful warm welcome & great service continued from there on in (your waitress does a great job). Had lunch with the family & everyone of us was suitably impressed with every course, delicious. Wine & beers a great choice if in the area again would definitely head straight to the Boars Head once more. Quality. Thank youVegetarian options: Only one main for vegetarian which luckily the vegi in our group liked. That was our only concern limited choice for vegetarianParking: Looks like it's the town centre parking but right there outside the door so very convenient

Absolutely delighted to find this gem in the heart of Auchtermuchty, it was simply brilliant from start to finish.Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent (we had Sunday lunch), and the restaurant has such a great feel.Very dog and child friendly, we will undoubtedly be back.

Have been a few times now,The food is just so good.Absolute pleasure....
The worst dinner ever.......the pidgeon starter came after 40minutes on a cold plate and had a burnt boney carcas and foot with HALF a breast!!. The venison main course was smaller than the starter again served on a cold plate with a jus that was a teaspoon of marmite mixed with a tablespoon of warm water. The buttered parsnip wasnt buttered and being now out of season was totally tasteless. The carb on this dish was a postage sized wafer of burnt potato. Absolute disgrace

Lovely restaurant, good atmosphere and nice buzz about the place. Booked for a table of 4 for Sunday lunch. Everything was good. The only faults I can say was the Plum and Custard tart was the pastry was underdone and could not taste the plum, also the ice cream could have been a bit bigger scoop but thats just me. Would highly recommend and will be back.

The dinner exceeded our expectations. Amazing food, friendly service. We traveled around Scotland, we ate in other restaurants, but the food in this restaurant was top class?thanks to the hosts and the great team?

Fabulous easter lunch! After hearing some great reviews from friends, we decided to give the Sunday lunch a try. Safe to say it was one of the most memorable and filling dinners we’ve ever had in Scotland. Between is we had the Beef, Lamb shank and Venison and were soon stealing morsels from each others plates. Finished with a plum custard tart and creme brule’s and washed down with a bottle of the house red, we left ready for a nap on the sofa. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other items on the menu.
