Known locally as the Mudhook, after the Mudhook Sailing Club, which was founded in the pub in 1873. It is located across the road from the site of the Fife Boatbuilding Yard, where the world famous Fife racing yachts were built. The pub walls are decorated with photos of Fife yachts, many by local photographer Marc Turner.

Brian Flanagan has returned The Village Inn to what it does best – being a community local with good value pub food, served in the lounge, conservatory, Fife Room and traditional public bar. The pub hosts regular quizzes and board games nights, plus occasional live music and beer festivals – check facebook for details.

Dogs are welcome in the public bar, and children in other areas if eating. Cards, dominoes and board games available.

The real ales are normally from Scottish breweries. One is likely to be a pale beer of around 4% ABV, to suit local preference.
