The restaurant has launched the Pure Filth Breakfast, a messy morning feast served daily from 9am to 11.30am
A bold new breakfast has landed in St Andrews, and it's not for the faint-hearted. Cromars, the award-winning fish and chip shop known for its legendary suppers, friendly staff and dog -friendly menu, has introduced a morning feast that more than lives up to its name: the Pure Filth Breakfast.
Available daily from 9am to 11.30am, this gloriously messy meal is designed for early risers, hungover students and anyone in need of serious morning satisfaction.
‌
It all starts with a bed of golden hash brown bites, topped with a runny fried egg, gooey melted cheese and a selection of indulgent toppings, from smoked sausage bits and crispy bacon to veggie sausage, with your choice of sauces generously layered over the top.
‌
And if crawling out of bed seems too much, Cromars has you covered, the full breakfast can be delivered straight to your door via Deliveroo.
No judgement, just Pure Filth and pure comfort food.
Owner Wendy Napthine-Frame said: 'We've built our reputation on serving great-tasting food with a side of fun and banter. At Cromars, we don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our food seriously. Fresh fish, top-quality ingredients and flavour-packed dishes are what we're known for.
"Our new 'Pure Filth Breakfast' is no exception, it's big, bold and gloriously indulgent.
"A proper St Andrews chippy breakfast for locals, students, workers and visitors to St Andrews, really anyone who knows that sometimes only something outrageously filthy will hit the spot.'
‌
For those after something a little lighter, Cromars also serves classic breakfast rolls with bacon, sausage or veggie options.
There's even a new 'Boost Your Breakfast Box' for £5.95, featuring creamy Greek yoghurt with chocolate granola and a Monster Mango Loco yoghurt shake, the perfect pick-me-up for more virtuous mornings.
‌
Founded in 2013, Cromars has grown into one of Scotland's best loved and most consistently praised chippies, known for its welcoming service and commitment to quality.
Only angel-cut haddock from the North Sea is used, always cooked to order and sourced from trusted local suppliers.

In 2023, Cromars was crowned 'Best Fish Supper on the East Coast of Scotland' at the Scottish Fish and Chip Awards.
In 2024, it made history as the country's first ever canine-friendly chippy, complete with a dedicated dog menu, with 50 percent of proceeds donated to the Scottish SPCA.
The passion for fish runs deep for Wendy, who grew up in Peterhead, the UK's largest fish landing port, surrounded by a family steeped in the industry.
Whether working on boats or trading in markets, fishing has always been in her blood. Today, she's known for gifting friends and family not with wine or chocolates, but with a 'fry', a box of premium fish, hand-selected for its exceptional freshness and flavour.
