    My husband and I are real foodies - We eat here a lot and really enjoy the range and quality of food on offer - fresh and exciting seafood dishes, such as seabass with a pesto risotto, local langoustine, hand dived king scallops or locally hot smoked salmon really play a big part on the menu and are extremely well cooked by the chef/owner. The steaks are simply wonderful - big and juicy with a piquant pepper sauce on the side if you fancy. Soup is always home-made (lentil with rosemary, beetroot, or good old leek and potato for instance) and the smoked haddock chowder is a meal in itself.Vegetarians are well catered for, with exciting and tasty dishes such as goats cheese and beluga lentil tart on the menu.
    There is a decent wine list with something to suit everyone. The bar staff make a very good gin and tonic and the proprietess makes excellent, spicy Bloody Marys! The beer garden is really lovely to sit and eat or simply have a drink in too. The Haven just keeps getting better and better! We recommend it heartily.

    The Haven is a small pub/restaurant that overlooks Cellardyke Harbour. All meals are served upstairs. The menu has a good mix of dishes with some emphasis on seafood though not overwhelmingly so. The quality of the food is good with some interesting fish dishes being presented. The owners have worked very hard in updating the menu which takes it a cut above regular pub grub. The set lunch represents excellent value for money. Beware it can get busy on Friday and Saturday nights particularl ...

    Nice atmosphere in the The Haven, Cellardyke beside the bar on the first floor looking out across the harbour towards the sea. The food was tasty, well presented and reasonable value.

    Someone should remind the chef that heating pastry in a microwave makes it go unpleasantly soggy (quiche first night & apple strudel second). Staff were friendly and attentive even when busy on Sunday night.


    We ate there on our first night and liked it so much we went back the next night. Recommended.

    Have been at both lunch with children and dinner, friendly service ideal for quiet evening with partner. Nice food especially if you like fish.

    I have to say that I think foodlover's comparison of a Greasy Spoon is a little on the harsh side but I do agree with most of the rest in their review.Years ago the Haven had a great reputation and I have witnessed some locals bringing their own plates in for a takeout. It was divided into two in those days, a small restaurant down stairs and bar meals up stairs. Both had a good reputation for both quality of food and service. But sadly today the Haven is a different beast. I was looking forward ...

    The Haven is not a five star establishment however it is a simple restaurant in a nice part of the Fife coast which will serve you good food. My wife and daughter enjoyed their choice from the menu as much as I did so no complaints on the food side other than a bit more effort with the deserts. It was a bit chilly although it has to be said it was a particularly windy day when we were there and the door to the downstairs area of the haven isn't exactly a storm door, not normally a problem as gen ...

    Visiting the Haven is like a step back in time. But only as far as the late 1970's. As you enter you are stared at by the staff who are crowded round a television at the bar which is in competition with the "mood music." We were shown to a table which gave a fabulous view of Cellardyke harbour. Above us was another TV which looked like it hadn't worked for a decade.
    My partner is mostly a vegetarian, but faced with vegetaian lasagne as the only veggie option he decided to opt for the locally ca ...
