About The Rockies Restaurant
On Shore Rd in Anstruther, The Rockies Restaurant sits within Anstruther golf club, with dining room windows looking across the Bay of Anstruther and harbour to the Isle of May. The menu changes with the seasons and draws on sustainably sourced ingredients, with mussels and a sticky toffee pudding among the recurring choices. A fixed lunch menu runs alongside a two-for-£20 offer, and lunch can also be taken in the outside area at the back. The restaurant opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. On-site parking serves those arriving by car.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the mussels and the roast dinners, with one calling the mussels sauce "divine" and others praising the leg of lamb roast, sticky toffee pudding, and fishcake. Close behind, the sea view across to the harbour and the Isle of May draws consistent mention, alongside service described as friendly and efficient, and several note they came on a personal recommendation and would return. One visitor recounts a birthday celebration held there. Against this, one reviewer describes an average meal where the ordered special ran out, the food came out flat, and the toffee pudding arrived with oily, burnt-tasting sauce, also noting the dining room felt small with a loud coffee machine. Another party found parking easier than expected in town, though most reports centre on the food and the view rather than that detail.

“A lovely lunch on the back of a kind recommendation from a local shopkeeper. The main town was busy with tourists, so fish & chips was out of the question. Glad we headed here instead. Delicious!”

“Fantastic lunch in the outside area. Arrived just on 3.e0pm when service ended but we were allowed to order, and ad we did as food was excellent.....great leg of lamb roast and chicken pesto pasta. Will definitely be back!”

“Really average Menu changed since we booked, ok that happens Ordered the special to wait 30 mins and then be told the sauce wasn't available anymore.... We were eating at 1pm how do you run out of bisque? But that happens Food served up was just average, like the chef just didn't care. Room is small and like a coffee shop with very loud coffee machine in corner. My dessert was toffee pudding.... Came out with oil on the plate? Did the sauce spilt? I don't know how you make it oily and taste burnt. Just disappointing View was great”

“This is a cracking restuarant attached to Anstruther golf club. The course is a wee cracker, quirky and with some challenging holes. The food in the restuarant is fab, so much so, I had my 60th birthday celebrations there 4 years ago. Staff are brilliant, friendly and helpful.”
