Full Description: DescriptionThe Bell Rock Tavern is named after the Bell Rock Lighthouse. The rock was the scene of many shipwrecks as it lies just below the surface of the sea for all but a few hours at low tide. The Bell Rock Tavern or simply “The Bell” has stood on the same spot, on Dalgleish Street, in the Heart of the community since 1887. The original entrance to the public bar was on the side of the building (now the Fire Exit, beneath the Lighthouse Mural) and the bar area (where the fireplace is now, at the bottom of the stairs) extended no further than the stairs. The original bar itself, being on the wall to the left, was where the restrooms are now situated.In the early 1970’s the bar was extended by knocking through to the house next door, with the bar being moved up to the top corner where it remains. The restaurant area is located upstairs which once housed rooms to let.The exterior has remained largely unchanged with the exception of the signage and artwork, even the hand painted signage is original.LocationTayport, also known as Ferry-Port-on-Craig, is a charming town located in Fife, Scotland, at the mouth of the River Tay. It offers picturesque views of the Broughty Ferry coastline and is within easy commuting distance to Dundee, via the Tay Road Bridge. Historically, it was known as “Southferry” or “South Ferry of Portincraig” before being renamed Tayport in the 19th Century. Tayport’s blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and community amenities make it a delightful place to visit or live.Tayport is easily accessible from the A92 from Fife, or via the Tay Bridge from Dundee.Internal DetailsThe public bar has a traditional pub feel, with the main bar stretching along the right hand side upon entering.

There is two seating areas partially on two different levels with a mixture of loose and fitted seating with wooden floors throughout.The restaurant can be accessed via an internal staircase at the front entrance to the pub. The well decorated and furnished restaurant space, with its own bar/servery area, can accommodate around 60 seated.
