East Scryne Fruit is a quaint farm shop, vintage-style tea room and playpark, which opened in 2013 at East Scryne Fruit Farm, just a mile or so inland from East Haven Beach, Carnoustie. They are a seasonal business, open every day from the end of April each year until the berries run out in mid-September.

They pick the very best berries from their premium crop for the fruit farm shop and café early each morning, and the short journey across the field to the kitchen is just one of the ingredients in their berries lifecycle that helps make them so very special.

The shop sells East Scryne Farm’s premium produce (mouth watering strawberries, karaka berries, raspberries and blueberries), their own free range organic eggs, delicious homemade jams and their famous lemon curd and local seasonal produce, including a sourdough delivery each Thursday.

The vintage-style tearoom has indoor and outdoor seating, where you can enjoy an array of home-baked treats and locally made artisanal produce; their amazing team are up at the crack of dawn baking scones and cakes to serve in the café that day.

They serve whole-bean barista coffee and boast the best scones in the area along with strawberry tarts and meringues, all served with a smile. They also serve paninis, jacket potatoes from the farm, home-made soup of the day as well as savoury muffins.

We need to mention their famous fresh fruit ice cream that they mix freshly for you in moments, by blending Mackies Scottish ice cream with the berries of your choice! What’s more, with their Ice Cream Loyalty Card you can earn stamps and get a free ice cream.

East Scryne Fruit welcomes walkers, dog walkers, cyclists and breastfeeding mums. There’s plenty of free parking (including a new overflow car park, space for camper vans, dedicated accessible parking spaces, and plenty of room for visitors who need space to manoeuvre wheelchairs and buggies). The playpark and area outside of the tearoom is newly pedestrianised for your safety. Their indoor and outdoor spaces are dog-friendly, wheelchair accessible and they cater for vegetarians, vegans and food intolerances; just ask for more information when you order.

Commitment to the environment and sustainability on the farm continues in the fruit farm shop and café. They’ve removed as much single use plastic as they can – no nasty plastic cups, forks, spoons, bags or punnets here; they have as much multi-use tableware and environmentally-friendly packaging as they can, right down to the compostable punnets you take your berries home in. Even their coffee grounds, food waste and paper waste go onto the compost heap ready for the vegetable patch. As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability and a thank you to our customers who join them, they’ve recently announced their ‘Go Green’ initiative, where customers receive a 10% off hot drinks.

Last but not least, children can enjoy the playpark with an enormous bouncy pillow, straw bale castle, swing, Angus’ biggest sandpit, strawberry cottage, giant Instagram-worthy strawberry, and picnic tables. They can also feed and pet East Scryne Farm’s miniature cashmere goats – they call it goat therapy, it’s good for the soul – for children and adults of all ages!

Opening Times:
Monday to Sunday – 10am to 4pm ( including bank holidays) from mid-April – mid-September.
