Tailend Restaurant St Andrews

Walk down Market Street and you'll spot the queue snaking out of Tailend—and it's genuinely worth the wait. This is chippy excellence without pretence: they're serious about sourcing quality fish, getting the batter crisp, and cooking chips that actually taste of potato. You can eat standing at the counter with a fork and paper, or grab one of the few tables if you're lucky. It's unpretentious, buzzy, and packed with locals who know the difference between mediocre fish and chips and the real thing. Expect to spend around £15-20 for a proper meal, and don't expect frills—just honest food done brilliantly.
