Aldi Cupar
New kid on the block for supermarkets in Cupar, but doing well. https://www.aldi.co.uk/store/s-uk-E0519
It has already built up a good reputation for high quality wines and spirits. Staff are particularly helpful and pleasant.
Independent shops
Fisher and Donaldson is an award winning bakery and cake shop. They have 2 outlets in Cupar. The shop is in the Crossgate, and the tea-room and main shop are in Ceres Road, which is just beyond Tesco. Very well worth a visit.
Fish and Seafood Shops
There is a small fish shop, which also sells cheese, in the Ladywynd in Cupar. It has a small but good selection of fresh fish.
Bigger, with a much larger selection of fish and seafood, fresh, frozen and cooked, is Tailend in St Andrews . https://www.thetailend.co.uk/
Not only is it a fish shop, but it has a restaurant and a takeaway too. We love this place!!
Butchers
Minicks is our go-to butcher in Cupar. http://www.minickbutchers.co.uk/cupar
It is an artisan butcher ( not quite sure what that means exactly, but their product is good!). They also have a shop in St Andrews, which is bigger.
Restaurants
This is a selection of restaurants for you to take a look at and think about while planning your trip. We have not set out addresses and phone numbers, but have put links to their own websites, to give you as much information as possible.
The Peat Inn is an excellent restaurant.

Booking is essential, and the dress code is quite smart. If the taster menu is available, we recommend that you try it. Only 10 mins from Cupar.
Ostlers Close is a lovely little boutique restaurant hidden away in one of the little lanes off the Bonnygate watch out for the sign! it is a little gem. The food is all locally sourced and cooked beautifully. Amanda, the owner, will guide you through a good wine list too. Booking essential.
