Voted CAMRA Fife Pub of the Year 2019, Finalist 2020 & 2021

Last updated 08/12/2023

The Railway Inn is a friendly and traditional village pub and has been an established public house in Lower Largo, Fife, since 1749. Situated near the East Neuk section of the Fife Coastal Path, it is a firm favourite with ramblers, dog walkers and locals alike. The current owners, Alistair and Oormi Rae, took over in December 2013.

A great selection of draught beer is on offer from traditional Scottish beers such as Tennents Lager and Belhaven Best to some new world lagers such as Estrella and Birra Moretti alongside classics like Guinness and Strongbow. In addition, there are five Scottish guest ales available which are updated on a weekly basis. Our ales come from all over Scotland from Orkney to the Borders as well as from local breweries in Anstruther, St Andrews and Glenrothes.

We also offer a selection of over 25 malt whiskies as well as an extensive gin selection.

We do not have a food menu, however, toasties, pies and bar snacks are available.

There is a private beer garden to the rear of the pub with a covered area. There are also picnic benches at the front of the property where you can catch the evening sunshine.

Like many others we dropped in here while resident across the road at the Crusoe hotel.
Accidentally found treasures are appreciated more than planned ones.
The Railway Inn is a genuine treasure. Welcoming, with a great selection of draught beers and spirits. Roaring fire and engaging locals. Pub of the year standards throughout.

Just an all round friendly local village pub! Locals make you feel welcome, they allow dogs in (on a lead). Great variety of gins along with all other drinks. This has become our go to pub when we visit the Old Manor Hotel just along the road.

Staff are fantastic. They remember us year after year even though we are only down for a week every year. Lovely selection of beer and gin too. Oh and dog friendly too. In fact our dog is remembered more than we are! Love it!

Character, charm and a bar stocked to the gunnels with premium drinks. Family friendly and great location. Best bar in the area by a long way.

Had a brilliant weekend in Lower Largo a lot of it spent in the Railway Inn. It's years since I've been in a pub with such a great atmosphere and so busy. Really friendly staff and they make a great toastie if you need a snack.

A pub how a pub should be. Friendly, great atmosphere and great ale!

Ross G , September 2017

Quaint well presented old pub, staffed by a friendly barmaid and locals were equally friendly. If Carlsberg made pubs .....

What a little gem! The decor was lovely with lots of different, interesting items on display. It had a warm, cosy atmosphere and the service was excellent. ...The beer was judged excellent by my partner, which is praise indeed. Compared to our village local, the Railway Inn is a model of how a pub should be run. Fabulous!!

After an hour and half walk along the beach from shell bay we found this lovely little pub with friendly locals and staff, very welcoming, even had biscuits for the dog. Fine selection of beers and lagers at a good price. Highly recommended.
