Jamie Scott

The Scottish culinary star is bringing his well-known food outlets Shipwreck Seafood Fife, Smoking Barrels and Cheese on Coast to the pop-up food village on the St Andrews West site, which will see a marquee for hospitality guests and a number of food vans serving the general public, including a flavour of what to expect from Storr.

Jamie is now looking to secure a location for his new venture at the St Andrews West Visitor Centre, and longer-term to take on the permanent grocery and eatery space within the development.

Joe Headon, St Andrews West LLP member, said: “After many years in the making, it is hugely exciting to see St Andrews West come alive, and what better time than during the 150th Open.

“With Jamie and his team, we hope to attract people with fresh and innovative ideas, marking the start of a new community at St Andrews West.

“We intend to create an exemplar development with sustainability and community at the heart of everything we do, and we very much look forward to working with Jamie and his team as we move forward with development.”

Mr Scott said: “I’m passionate about bringing new opportunities to the area, and so being involved in this development is incredible.

“I’m thrilled to be able to create a food offering that works with local producers and will bring a completely new concept to the St Andrews West site.”
