Only found out about this wee gem this morning when googling a place to get a good breakfast when in Kirkcaldy. It didn't disappoint. BIG BOY brekkie was a great size, freshly cooked and delicious. Came with two freshly cut massive slices of tiger bread toasted and thickly buttered. Janet was an attentive host and very friendly, as were the rest of the regulars we ended up chatting to. The selection of home baked goodies was too much to resist and so we now have fresh baked scones for teatime and the two bits of cake we bought now just can't be found anywhere.... Will defo be back.
