About this tour
This session walks through Balgove Larder, a farm shop and street food yard on the edge of St Andrews. You see shelves of local produce and a row of stalls in the covered yard outside, including one selling crab landed along the Fife coast. Morven explains where several of the products come from and why the area's farming and fishing still shape what's on offer.
After a short sound check inside, the session moves from the shop shelves out to the food stalls, with time for questions throughout. Morven answers as you go and sends a short list of her favourite stalls afterwards.
It suits anyone interested in Fife's food beyond the town centre, and works well before or after a golf-focused session. It also appeals to home cooks looking for local ingredients.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
