Hams Hame in Fife

Very disappointed. We've been before and it was really nice but this time it was really poor. The service was good and the pub itself is nice but the quality of the food for the price we paid was not acceptable. Soup was over seasoned and the nachos were terrible. A real shame but we won't be back unfortunately.

Rebecca our server was fantastic, she was very welcoming and very funny. Food was fantastic we had the steak night option as we came on a Thursday which was delicious and the perfect amount for two. Would definitely come back

We visited Hams Hame previously on our trips to St Andrews and always thought the food was great. However, on our recent trip the food was thoroughly disappointing. The nachos were soggy when previously they’d been some of the best nachos I’d ever had. Then the Mac and cheese had no taste and was very bland, I didn’t even get half way through the portion as it was not good. The sticky toffee pudding sauce wasn’t warmed properly either. It’s a real shame considering previously the food had always been so tasty and to a good standard. It has gone from being a staple place to eat when we visit St Andrews to somewhere we aren’t sure we’d visit again. The staff were friendly and kind and it’s not their fault the food was below standard. However, the food and how it is cooked needs reviewing.

If you want a relaxing drink DO NOT GO HERE. Nothing wrong with the staff other than when you're half way down your drink they will badger you to order more IMMEDIATEY! If you don't order right away they will stare you down until you relent Just my experience of the place. Not a place to relax.

Family birthday celebration. Looked after so well by Matt and his team. Opted for the Thursday steak special. Cooked to perfection med- rare. Everyone else has a perfect meal. Great evening.

Only had drinks but the waiting staff very gracious and polite, and it’s a nice place to have a dram or three. Lovely atmosphere.

Amazing views of the coast and gold course from the roof top bar. Went for 1 cocktail and ended up staying for hours. They have the most amazing steaks.

Very cold . End of November and should be cosy. Food basic pub food , limited choices . Furniture not comfortable . It is a top location but quiet when other bars are busy

A coincidence leads us to this place where we simply ate terribly well by the fire. What more could you ask for…!

£40 for a bottle of wine 😂😂 I like the setting but not that much 🤣🤣

This place is unreal, great staff great whiskey will be back!! Rebecca and jori are the best! Extremely knowledgeable about whiskey and beer and cider. Also their knowledge of the matrix was unparalleled

Pros * Food was good. Steak pie was tasty and filling. Curry also got the thumbs up. * venue nice and toilets were lovely (always judge a venue based on their loo’s) * staff friendly & attentive Cons * pastry topper for steak pie could have been warmed a little more. * atmosphere - this place should be jumping due to the location, so it’s a bit of a shame. The background music needs changing, and the drinks prices compared to other venues are on the dear side. I would come back (visited on other occasions), but I wouldn’t rush back unless the atmosphere improved.

Slooooowwwwww. Slow slow service If you have plenty of time snd youre not really hungry or thirsty, this is your place We waited over 10 minutes to get our beverages and I finally had to go up and ask for them. We each ordered a bowl of soup and a small order of wings and waited. Almost 30 minutes.

Although the staff were lovely I have to say we were very disappointed with the cost and quality of the food and drinks provided. I am more than happy to pay £18.50 for a meal but not when you only get 5 bits of butter chicken in a curry and a spoonful of rice and a mini naan. £18 for a chicken parmigiana that was over cooked and dry with a tasteless pasta was hugely overpriced as was £11 for a glass of house Rose and £8.50 for a pint of lager - the saving grace was the truffle and Parmesan fries at £7 and the fudge ice cream recommended by our lovely young female waitress which came in a pre-packed tub - golf in the multiple TVs which you’d expect I suppose in St Andrews but a bit of background music may have enhanced the atmosphere a bit. All in all - 4 bus journeys to and from Kirriemuir to St Andrews and £83 for a mediocre lunch date did not make for a day trip we’d be in a hurry to repeat unfortunately.

The food and service was fantastic our waitress Jorie was especially great at her job I would recommend coming to this restaurant thoroughly recommend the restaurant

Lovely place with really good service. Would recommend for annyone who love good food in a lowkey place. If you would just hang out with a beer and watch sports its also recommended

Cosy pub restaurant with excellent service and good food. Dog friendly

Brilliant! How can anyone give less than 5 stars? Firstly we went for a drinks reception - thanks Stuart & Pam. service excellent from all staff, nothing too much trouble. Then we went for a walk to see the town, but came back for something to eat. My fish & chips was great with a Guinness. The service was spot on and not too intrusive. The best bit was the bill. NO SERVICE CHARGE, NO GRATUITY ADDED, NO COVER CHARGE!! Isnt this the way it should be?? So, of course, we left a tip. Tipping is for great food & service. To add a (discretionary) service charge sucks. Thank you Hams Hame for this and everything else.

Went twice last week to Hams Hame and had the best service ever with Jori, she was phenomenal. We were a party of 10 on a golf trip to St. Andrews and from the minute we first walked in, she anticipated all of our needs and moved us into more of a private dining area of the pub. Jori provided everyone fantastic service, all the drinks we needed and excellent food recommendations. On our last night there, she special ordered sirloin steaks ( for those that wanted them) and the meal was cooked perfectly. Jori provided outstanding service with an extremely positive attitude and was the best waitress I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Cool pub but you eat and drink well. Prices slightly higher than usual pubs

Went in to buy a drink and we sat n one of the tables outside, looking over the 18th hole when the sun was setting. Staff were lovely and friendly and really attentive.

Wow - lovely cosy location - amazing food - everything was perfect- the most delicious Steak & Guinness pie and monster haddock & chips all cooked to perfection- excellent service from the lovely Zosia who was very attentive- our pups loved their visit too- so nice to have a dog friendly place to eat out ! Thanks to everyone who made our visit for a birthday celebration so special - See you all again very soon! 🐾🫶

Great place to have food and drinks. Our server Jorie provided excellent service with our big group of 13 people, making sure everyone had a full drink and making everyone got the right food! Great experience.

Food was pretty good, Caesar salad was not that great, Jori our server provided outstanding service. Can accommodate large groups of 10-20 people. Would recommend as we ate here twice for dinner

Very disappointed, I ordered the butter chicken; it was awful, as was the rice, the naan was okay. Service was slow, and because we were with a tour group and on a tight schedule , I was unable to speak to anyone. My companion ordered the lentil soup and raved about it. £33 for awful and good.

Nice place, tradition Scottish food. Very good.

Not a golf player at all, but we were looking for a pub that had good food.. This did not disappoint!

We were there with a large group of friends for lunch We had a meal which was good in quality But the service was shocking A waitress came and asked us to leave unless we were drinking; this was straight after the meal Then came again and said you d better leave in two minutes The group included a person in a wheelchair and another in crutches The insensitive person seemed unperturbed and confident of her manager’s support, which she quoted as telling her to ask us out Good to know that as soon as customers pay their meal they are no longer of interest to this establishment

Over priced and smelt of wet dog. Genuinely not as good as I expected. The service of the friendly staff was the only saving grace

Aimed at tourists (obviously) with crazy prices for anyone from the UK (shhh 🤫tourists don't know), food wasn't great,.been tailored to the 'american pallet' and very overpriced drink (almost double normal prices) but staff were attentive. Apart from a few TV screens up showing golf it was devoid of atmosphere.

Fantastic food, great staff and a relaxed setting. Good range of lunch options and generous portions. Located directly opposite R&A clubhouse with parking nearby.

First impressions menu is small but wow what was served was really good quality and value for money. So much so we ate there twice in 4 days! Excellent service Excellent food Excellent value for money Will be back when I’m next in St Andrews.

Very popular place next to Hampton hotel the golden crown on the roof they said the basement we're going to the 18th that's at St Andrews

Very expensive for drink. £15.20 for a pint of Cider+pint of lager.

A nice pub with a good selection of food. Very nice service, dogs are welcome. Price performance absolutely fine.

Good food bit pricey but was expected due to the location. Service was excellent and dog friendly

Excellent beer battered haddock. The fish was fresh and flaky. The chips were not very good and a little burnt. Service was excellent and the food was served shortly after ordering. The Fosh and chips cost GBP 20 and a bottle of coke zero was GBP 4.25. The ambience was very warm and cosy.

The staff here are excellent. Efficient and friendly. However my food, the fish and chips, was tasteless. Shame and I would have thought that this Kohler owned place would have taken more pride in what they are putting on a plate.

Great pub, the food is beautiful, good and generous, the room is very beautiful and the furniture very warm, the toilets are huge, beautiful and exemplary clean. Game for children at the table (our son even had toy cars to play with at the table).

Prices are high and the food is mediocre. Steak in steak sandwich was literally uncooked (as in not rare but improperly cooked). Nachos were a bland joke and for £10 too. Didn’t want to bother complaining but in all honesty waiter picking up plates looked at the uneaten raw steak and should have taken the initiative on taking that off the bill. Positives are that the decor gives character to the place. Much appreciated that they are trying to have a varied menu because St Andrews has virtually no variety besides a few cuisines on offer. For example, pleasantly surprised to find something like Lamb Flatbread. Only Italian and Asian foreign cuisines in this town so nice to see someone trying to provide a bit of Mediterranean.

Love that it is so close to the course

We called in just for a drink, £7.40 for a pint of Guinness and £4.25 for a 330 ml bottle of Coke is ridiculous, is there any wonder bars are closing in their droves, we won't be returning 😡

Nice inside but food overrated sadly. Kedgeree was runny and stodgy with a small piece of (unsmoked) fish on the top. Really wanted to like it but unfortunately we won’t be going back.

There was a great atmosphere in here and the staff were super friendly and helpful! I had a wonderful vegan dessert that was delicious

Excellent service, great drink recommendations. Pleasant food, decent atmosphere but probably too much sport on, just for the sake of having the TV on.

Staff very attentative and dog friendly xx

Great pub food in a dog friendly place opposite the old course. Handy if you're parked at the beach. Fairly priced. Screens on showing the six nations. Will be back!

Fantastic food and excellent service, the venue is beautiful. The only minor remark is kids portion sizes are rather large for little diners in my opinion, my 7 year old son has good appetite but was full after the starter, barely touched main and didn't even have space for a desert! Perhaps smaller portions at half a size with a reduced price tag would be more appropriate; or if staff can explain in advance that portions are big so simply one starter or one main is more than enough. Other than that this place is a gem.

The staff were friendly and professional. A great choice of food, drinks available on the menu.

WARNING. If you decide to order the “3 sides for £11” you must inform your server at the time of ordering. Yes, apparently saying to a server that you “want to order 3 sides please” means that they’ll insist on charging each item individually because you weren’t explicit in telling them you were ordering the deal off the menu. Similarly, they advertise a honey & pineapple Margarita cocktail but if you ask for a classic margarita, you’ll be charged the individual spirit prices resulting in a charge 25% more because it’s not a featured cocktail (no mention of this at time of ordering). There are so many friendly places to eat and drink in St Andrews but with these jobsworths in operation behind the bar, we’ll never darken the door of this place again.

Had a lovely family meal here. Staff so friendly, excellent service. Food was delicious too.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. However £72 for an only OK burger and a "soup like" macaroni with two drinks is ridiculous. There are much nicer and more reasonable places to eat and drink in the vicinity.

We had a family get together , food was delicious especially the fish and chips , staff were friendly and very attentive , we will return 😊

Wonderful pub near The Old Course, highly recommend.

Nice enough place but take plenty of money with you, £20 for a Guinness and a glass of white wine is a bit steep.

Great place and service but food was pretty average and very expensive. All three of our burgers were overcooked

Nice place and really nice staff but the burgers were actually really really bad. I had the venison burger and the others in our party had the blue burger and a bacon cheeseburger. Maybe the other food is better but the burgers were overcooked and had an awful taste.

Great place for a drink and a bite to eat. Loved it 😀

Stopped for a hamburger. Just hot & delish.

Lovely place, small menu but something to suit all tastes! We visited with our daughter and son in law and our grandson who is 3! The staff were so lovely and made a lot of our boy! Food was presented well, all freshly made we all fair enjoyed! Thankyou to all.

Conveniently located in St. Andrews, we came here for an early meal on a Monday night. Family of four plus dog. Staff here were brilliant. Brought out a bowl of water for the dog right when we arrived and were attentive and friendly throughout the evening. The kitchen muddled up one of our orders so the staff were incredible apologetic and rectified quickly. Sadly the food left a lot to be desired. The menu is extensive so you’ll find something for everyone, but found the quality of the food sub par. The burger was wayyyy over cooked and chewy and the chips were very very oily. Likely not be back again on account of the food quality of the food unfortunately. Nice beers on tap though.

Fantastic spot for lunch. Food well cooked and priced fairly for the location. Ambiance very chilled and great service. Would recommend and would visit again.

Staff were so wonderful. My son got a dream tee time and I miss calculated our time and they got our meals to go as quick as a whip. Absolutely fabulous establishment. I would be a regular here if I didn't live in USA. Greg

Great venue, very nice and helpful staff, fine selection of drinks on offer but food well below par in the home of golf. 3 couples, starters fine though nothing exceptional, only one main hit the mark: kedgeree although could have done with more fish. Cod and chips apparently okay but 3 Mac&cheese were 🤮. New recipe apparently and staff were great but not what we hoped for when setting out for dinner. Disappointed but seems to be the theme in local eateries at the moment.

Absolutely freaking wonderful! Staff was delightful and food was outstanding!

Two of us ate an early lunch. At first we were concerned by the lack of clientele but as the lunch time progressed the rooms filled to capacity. With a typical pub decor and a typical menu there was nothing memorable about the establishment other than the staff, who were exceptionally friendly, able and willing. The lamb Flatbread was a goodly portion but missing the anticipated flavor, but the scotch broth was pretty good. That black and tan was at a perfect temperature. Located in the basement of the Old Course Hotel the ambiance was blah and there was no view.

Absolutely dreadful experience. Staff, particularly the manager, was rude. No atmosphere at all, very rare for us not to leave a tip, but none was left here tonight!

Stopped in for lunch during my day trip tour to St. Andrews. Recommended by my tour guide. Food was excellent and atmosphere was great. Fast and friendly service. Convenient location directly across from the old course at St. Andrews.

Dropped in on Friday night with sergeant the staff were amazing , attentive and genuinely cared. The food we had was amazing piping hot and beautifully prepared There was not one single thing I could complain about Keep up the great work that was stunning

Very mediocre food for a gastro pub. We were very disappointed in the offering on the menu. Service was good with staff who were attentive. Food quality was no better than average - frozen chips were a real disappointment. Not cheap for this quality of food either.

My husband and I came here for anniversary dinner on our mini getaway to St. Andrews, and we were really happy with our choice. Everyone working there were very friendly and attentive, the food was great , I got the chicken Balmoral, and my husband had the flat iron steak, we also had the bread platter to share and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The portions are just right. They even gave us a little treat to celebrate our anniversary. Absolutely loved it here, and we will come back next time we’re in St. Andrews

The staff were absolutely excellent. Friendly, kind and knew their stuff. Our group had a few different allergens to contend with amongst us, and our server (I'm sorry I've forgotten her name) couldn't have dealt with it better. We had a lovely meal, in a comfortable atmosphere. The staff made it pretty perfect! There was golf on the big TVs (no sound). Didn't bother us at all, but just to note in case it would impact your choice of venue :)

This pub is close to the Old Course and has burgers and chicken sandwiches and fries that are served quickly and are great tasting. The beer was cold and the wait staff was attentive.

Nice place but expensive but was looking for last minute dinner booking including dogs which are allowed, food was lovely but waited a wee while in getting served, as it was busy.

My husband and I came for drinks today. It is a Lovely bar with great customer service. Specially Our waiter Matthew he is very friendly he went above and beyond .Offering us local knowledge and advice of places to visit during our trip at St Andrews, Lovely service can’t wait to return.

Great food, lovely place and very nice staff. Also so welcoming for dogs!!

It is better not to order spicy chicken as it comes in large quantities. The steak was delicious.

Fabulous place! The staff went above and beyond for us. They even fed the dog his lunch too. Our family spent a lovely hour in this fab restaurant. We asked if we could order something for the dog and they happily grilled him a chicken breast. The lovely waitress brouught him water and his lunch in dog bowls. Our lunch was amazing and I can't recommend this place highly enough, especially if you have a canine member of the family. Brilliant staff and amazing food. 5 stars. Jane, Kev, Calum, Ross and Mack the American bulldog xc

It is a very nice and good place to hang out with family and friends 😊 ❤️ ☺️ 😀 💕

Fish and potato's chips are amazing

It was my second time in this almost hidden restaurant. Lovely service, simple menu, very quiet place.

I recently had an extremely unpleasant experience at Hams Hame, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment and frustration with others. It was an evening that left me feeling humiliated and discriminated against due to their discriminatory wealth-based entrance policy. Upon arriving at Hams Hame with a group of friends, we were excited to enjoy an evening out together after our first round of golf on our golf trip. However, after asking for a table for 7, It quickly became apparent that the sole reason we were being denied entry was that we did not meet their arbitrary standards of wealth. What makes this situation particularly egregious is that the pub was far from crowded. Plenty of space was available inside, and we were simply looking to have a good time like any other patron. However, it seemed that the pub's priority was not providing an inclusive and welcoming environment, but rather catering exclusively to the affluent. My experience here was profoundly disappointing and disheartening. I would caution anyone seeking a welcoming and inclusive environment to think twice before considering this establishment.

Very much enjoyed this restaurant in the bottom of this building behind the 18th hole at the Old course. All of our food entries were excellent and we loved the Belhaven Black. They even sell hats and shirts!

Pleasant pub conveniently located across from the Old Course at St Andrew’s. We were a sizable group of multiple families and friends and the staff did a credible job of accommodating our various needs. The fish and chips were awesome. Crispy flavorful fish and the greenest freshest peas. Fair selection of beer on tap.

Great food and atmosphere. Staff very friendly

Good atmosphere, great location. Watched the football with kids. Very clean and good food. Would recommend if your looking for a nice bite to eat. Really good selection of beers and wines. Tvs for whatever sports you like. Golf was on but we asked to change to football which they were very accommodating.

Functional place, trading on Location, not originality or quality. If you want to see a golf course it Should be this one.

Very nice pub close to the beach, the decoration theme is clearly golf. But everything was done very well. Sports are shown on several large televisions. Service is attentive and friendly, the food was tasty and attractively presented. Definitely a recommendation from me for a visit...

Very bad customer services. Feeling not welcome. We was the first people to pop in and why we have to wait for other to be server first ? Definitely will not be back

Staying up in Scotland, walked past and liked the look of this place, thought it was nice that you can take your dog, booked for later on in the evening. We were very disappointed, we both had the mushroom stroganoff and it was like budgie food, the portion was so small it was ridiculous, was very salty too, ordered a garlic bread each and it’s a good job we did as we would’ve still been hungry , garlic bread wasn’t up to much either, was hard and seemed greasy ! Came to £43 which we didn’t think was worth that, Staff were very nice and helpful and the place is cozy and nicely decorated. Just a shame as it’s very pricey to for the quality!

Best steak and sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had!!! Brilliant place and lovely staff 🙌🏻

I had the Hams burger which was very nice but I'm not a fan of the brioche bun. My wife had the steak which said was fabulous.we really enjoyed the lovely coffee n finished with the sticky toffee pudding. Service great n cosy warm atmosphere.

Stopped here after visiting the golf museum. The chicken sandwich was amazing.

Lovely place to eat carnt fault .

Really good food and great service

I can't comment about the quality of the food and the atmosphere. I just wanted to share with everyone my experience when cancelling a reservation. It's the first time in my life I've been charged £10 per head for a booking cancellation. The response I got from the management when I queried the charge was that it is noted in the terms and conditions. I think that's really cheeky and a charge like that should be obvious on the actual booking page not in the terms and conditions!! I will never be making another booking here!!

Called in for a drink as we were passing to go out for a meal, greeted with a friendly smile, very pleasant staff. Husband had a lovely Guinness, wish we cold have stayed longer

A wonderful pub. The staff are friendly, welcoming and well informed. I got some real advice on single malts! The food was great and generous, so expect to feel full afterwards.

Absolutely fantastic probably one of the best place I've eaten in a long time Welcome as soon as we came in with my dog and partner ordered drinks then 2 big bowls of nachos each with a really nice salsa dip which wasn't too spicy Then I ordered cottage pie which was absolutely fantastic and my partner ordered macaroni cheese which she says was great Bathrooms were immaculate and my dog was even catered for If we knew the size of the nachos we would have ordered 1 between us portion sizes are massive

Service and food are not up to standard....
