Look out for high tea at restaurants and hotels throughout Fife – it’s often only served at weekends as it’s very much a treat! Here are a few recommendations...
The Old Manor Hotel, Lundin Links
The Old Manor Hotel in Lundin Links serves high tea from 3.30pm until 5pm every day in the Seaview Restaurant, which has outstanding views across the Firth of Forth to the Bass Rock.
The high tea menu at The Old Manor Hotel includes a tasty main course with favourites like fish and chips and steak pie, followed by a selection of cakes and scones..
Dean Park Hotel, Kirkcaldy
Every Sunday, The Dean Park Hotel in Kirkcaldy serves a traditional high tea between 12 noon and 9pm. Their high tea menu’s Main Event features a delicious selection with dishes like roast of the day, fish & chips, pie of the day and steak frites. To finish - the Dean Park’s chef’s selection of scones and cakes, of course.
The Sands Hotel
The Sands Hotel in Burntisland is another popular high tea venue in Fife. You can pick your choice of main course from the menu and add on the high tea option which includes a selection of cakes, traybakes, scones, tea or coffee, toast butter and preserves. The hotel is right next to the beach - perfect for a walk to work up an appetite!
Accompanied by lots of toast and a big pot of tea, high tea involves a choice of traditional main courses (often steak pie, salad, fish & chips, scampi, a chicken dish and a vegetarian/vegan option), followed by an abundance of freshly-baked scones and cakes. It’s no wonder high tea’s been the eating-out meal of choice for generations of Fife families.
