Andrew Lowrie and Barry M Dudley took on the Greene King tenancy of bar and restaurant The Dining Room on Kirkcaldy’s York Place and reopened it last month.
Andrew is from Kirkcaldy originally and moved back to the town after 20 years living in England while Barry is from the West Midlands and he’s worked for 30 plus years in various hospitality venues.
Barry told DRAM, “I’ve run bars, restaurants and hotels all over the UK while Andrew comes from an events background.
“It’s been a bit of a double-edged sword with The Dining Room because we thought that it would be more of a gradual curve rather than being so busy, mainly so that the staff had a bit of time to bed in but it’s great to see so many customers loving having the pub open again and what we’re doing.
“We are very much about providing quality food and excellent customer service.”
The Dining Room had previously been run by chef Roddy Jobson and his business partner Martyn Stewart for six years until October last year.
