November in St Andrews brings a chill to the air, but it’s also the perfect excuse to dive into one of the town’s many cosy pubs and cafés. Whether you’re looking for a quiet corner to enjoy a hot drink or a hearty meal by the fire, here are a few local spots guaranteed to warm you up.
The Adamson
Right in the centre of town, The Adamson is a stylish yet comfortable place to escape the cold. They do a cracking hot chocolate and always have a great seasonal menu on offer. Whether you’re stopping in for a coffee or something more substantial, it’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time while thawing out.
The Jigger Inn
If it’s a proper pub you’re after, The Jigger Inn is hard to beat. Tucked next to the Old Course Hotel, it’s the kind of place where the fire’s always going, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is just right for a cosy catch-up. Whether you’re a golfer or not, their hearty dishes and local ales will hit the spot.
Janetta’s Gelateria
Ice cream in November? Maybe not, but Janetta’s also does a top-notch coffee and some of the best hot drinks in town. Their café is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to hide from the cold and indulge in something sweet.
Balgove Larder
For those who don’t mind a short trip out of town, Balgove Larder is worth it. Their café serves up hearty, locally sourced food in a rustic, cosy setting. Think wood-burning stoves, wooden beams, and the smell of fresh baking—ideal for a chilly November day.
Forgans
Forgans nails that balance between lively and snug. With warm lighting, rustic charm, and a menu full of seasonal favourites, it’s a brilliant place to settle in with friends. And if you’re lucky enough to be there on a weekend, their ceilidhs add a bit of extra warmth to the evening.
