Anstruther, with Pittenweem, Crail and Kilrenny covered from this page, depends on a hospitality trade larger than the British norm. We supply door supervisors, event stewards and patrols for pubs, functions and one-off gatherings.
Trusted Protection in Anstruther
No large venues are listed within 5km of Anstruther, but there are seven pubs, bars and nightclubs, and Fife's hospitality sector is 8.9% of its 8,890 registered businesses against 6.5% nationally. That makes licensed premises and one-off events the main reason businesses in Anstruther, Pittenweem, Crail and Kilrenny look for security: a door supervisor for a busy weekend, stewards for an outdoor gathering, or patrols to check premises after closing.
Anstruther Business Profile
Every officer we provide in Anstruther and the neighbouring towns is SIA licensed, vetted to BS 7858 and paid via PAYE. Event stewards and door supervisors are briefed before each booking, and GPS book-on records when they arrive and leave. Our 24/7 control room supports them throughout, and organisers receive a digital report afterwards covering any incidents.
Fife's 8,890 businesses are led by construction with 1,395, professional services with 1,135 and hospitality with 795. Agriculture is above the British average, at 7.0% against 4.5%, so farms near the towns may want rural patrols and solar CCTV towers. Builders working on the two construction sites mapped within 5km can use towers or lock-up checks between shifts.

Security Requirements in Anstruther
The facts for Anstruther are modest: seven licensed premises and two construction sites within 5km, and no retail parks, industrial estates or rail stations listed. Business life here is small-scale and local, which suits flexible security bought when needed, such as a door supervisor for an event night or a patrol round across several premises in Pittenweem and Crail, rather than permanent guarding.

Crime & Security Data
This page carries no crime totals for Anstruther: Scottish statistics come from Police Scotland, not Police.uk.
Our crime figures elsewhere are drawn from Police.uk, which does not hold Scottish records, so nothing comparable can be shown here. The better guide for a single pub or business is a look at the building itself. Our free audit, a £250 visit, works through a 25-point checklist covering doors, windows, lighting, alarm cover, stock storage and how staff open and close, then sets out what we would change.
