Terrace Restaurant Rufflets St Andrews

Our customer research, from resident guests and the local community, tells us that many people perceive a Country House Hotel Restaurant to be a "special occasion" dining experience. It is our aim to change this perception so that the Terrace Restaurant at Rufflets becomes your favourite restaurant, to be enjoyed on a daily basis, not just for high days and holidays!

In order to do this, we have changed our approach to the style of food we offer. Out goes the rather old fashioned and slightly stuffy "fine dining" image with daily changing, fixed price menus, canapés and petits fours. In comes a more modern and flexible, seasonally changing a la carte menu offering a wide choice of dishes at varying prices, ranging from home made pastas to prime aged Buccleuch beef steaks & hand cut fries. No need to pay for three courses if all you want is one course and a cup of coffee!

Our head chef, Mark Nixon, has put together an exciting new summer a la carte Menu using organic and locally sourced fresh Scottish produce wherever possible, aged Buccleuch beef, locally reared lamb & venison, fish and seafood landed daily at East Neuk harbours. Locally grown vegetables and soft fruits supplement our own garden produce. Fresh bread, pastas, ice creams and sorbets are all made in house and our cheeses are supplied by local Cheese monger, Ian Mellis.

Although our menu format and content may have moved forward in response to changing customer preferences, the quality of our hospitality, customer service and attention to details remains at the highest level. To complement your meal, our wine list offers a range of approx 100 wines from around the world, including a half bottle selection. We also offer wines by the glass, including desert wines.

Rufflets Gift Vouchers are available for accommodation and meals.
