The Haven Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Scotland

My wife and I popped into the Haven on Wednesday night for a few beers and a trip down memory lane.

It's been far too many years since I was last in Cellardyke in Anstruther.

The Haven is a beautiful bar situated just beside the small harbour with some stunning seaviews views. The pub was warm and well furnished and the hosts (Frazer (dad) and Cameron (son), I may be wrong as I picked their names up from regular patrons chats ) We enjoyed a few good beers and gins and some chat about righting the wrongs of the world.

Ox cheek also came highly recommended. Highly recommended and we will be back every time we are at Cellardyke. Great sun trap back garden beer garden too in...

We’re regular visitors to Anstruther. We’ve been coming to the Haven at least once a year for the last 15 years. In the last year or so we’ve been really disappointed with the downturn in service and atmosphere. Table service is consistently poor and items on the menu are often unavailable. Weekend nights are often given over to live music. This was initially great and of a good standard but now is basically a communal sing-a-long. This is obviously fine and is well-attended by locals and participants but means diners are quickly forgotten and the staff are overwhelmed. The Haven just needs to decide if it’s a restaurant or a community venue and adjust its bookings accordingly. That will avoid...
