Epically old tavern serving plenty choices of ales, spirits and great food. It has a sunny beer garden out the back that looks down onto a burn. The place supposedly once housed King James V back in the 1500s. ...

Had a gorgeous time at Dreel Tavern! Ordered the East Neuk seafood sharing board and it did not disappoint. Great selection of seafood, all locally caught and produced, with some truffle and parmesan fries to share too! Service was excellent and beer garden was lovely, especially on a summers evening
