About This Pub
Ah, The Elizabethan – it's got that lovely historical nod, named after a Scottish royal, and it's become a bit of a go-to in Dunfermline for a relaxed pint or a hearty meal. From what I've gathered from chats with others, the food really shines; think delicious dishes like lasagna or those mouthwatering kebabs that leave you wanting more, all served up with a smile from the friendly team. It's especially nice if you're celebrating a birthday, as they throw in a free meal, which is a brilliant little touch that makes you feel special. The atmosphere is just right for unwinding with friends, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or a full dinner. But, to keep it real, it's not all smooth sailing – there have been a few moans about seating feeling cramped or tables not being as tidy, and sometimes the ordering system gets a bit muddled, like figuring out if you're meant to go to the bar or wait for service. Still, with a solid rating overall, it's worth swinging by, just maybe plan ahead if you're avoiding any potential hiccups from private events. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out, with the highs outweighing the lows for most.

Got seated in an area that was not set up due to a private booking (which seemed to take priority) cramped seating and dirty tables all around. We had no communication on whether we order at the bar or if it was table service, we then went to the bar to order only to be told it was table service. It had been 15 minutes since being sat.
Starters came out and honestly were lovely, however the mains were disappointing for the price. Both were dry and not much taste apart from the taste of the burnt garlic bread and chicken.
No check back was given to us or the surrounding tables. When went to pay the bill and asked if we would like to leave a tip, the girl did not look impressed when we said no.
As managers of a restaurant we always ensure to tip however we would not expect to be given a tip had we offered this service to guests.
After wanting to come and try the restaurant for a while we were disappointed and feel that the restaurant has far much more to offer.
Went for a birthday meal today and my expectations were BLOWN OUT THE WATERS!! Lovely waitress Becky is top tier and a credit to the Lizzie. Food was stunning - recommend 10/10
Our meal was lasagna and garlic bread. And for dessert we enjoyed cheesecake with raspberry sauce topping. I was part of a party of 35. We were served quickly.
Lunch from the new menu today it was delicious haggis bon bons , mushrooms , the kebab was to die for great service and remember if it's your birthday you eat FREE 🎈
