What’s in a name? The Walk Inn, West Wemyss

DSCN5011[1].JPGAfter visiting East Wemyss Caves (my last post ) one of my friends suggested popping in to The Walk Inn in West Wemyss. I cheered at her mention of the name because this cafe, once run by the community of West Wemyss, was a regular haunt for my husband and I during our first stay in Fife back in 2015. It certainly featured in From Redundancy to Rejuvenation, which now forms part one of The Healing Paths of Fife.

I particularly recall their Cullen Skink, a local haddock and potato soup which is not only delicious, but a meal in itself.

A couple of years ago we popped back to West Wemyss and the cafe had been split into a local pub downstairs and a cafe bistro upstairs renamed The Urban Pantry.

Sadly, when we visited this wee coastal village once more during last winter for a stroll – a place I call the Portmerrion of the east, unfortunately it was all closed down.

Thus, I was really pleased to find that the cafe had reopened recently under its original name ‘The Walk Inn’ and I wish them every success. It is a perfect break between Dysart and Buckhaven and it certainly has rejuvenated West Wemyss, breathing life into the place for passers by and locals alike.

Here’s their Facebook Page.

  1. Hi Diana

    This is an old blog entry so maybe you know this already. Cullen Skink is not local to Fife. It originated in Cullen up in Moray but is fairly common in many different guises across Scotland these days.
    Cheers

    • Hi John yes, that was in the early days of our time in Fife and since then we have enjoyed travelling around Scotland and taking many delights, including Cullen Skink in Cullen, on the north Aberdeenshire coast. (a lovely wee toon!) Thanks for popping by. Diana
