Fife Sports and Leisure Trust has announced a new partnership with Glenrothes-based roastery Modern Standard Coffee, bringing ethically sourced, specialty coffee to venues across Fife. 

The partnership marks an exciting step forward in the organisation’s catering offer, combining high-quality, sustainably sourced coffee with a commitment to supporting local businesses and communities. 

Customers will be able to enjoy barista-quality drinks through self-service coffee stations across selected venues, offering a convenient and modern café experience whether visiting for fitness, swimming or leisure. 

Paul Burke, Commercial and Business Development Manager, said:
“This partnership allows us to elevate our catering offer with a premium, speciality coffee that matches the expectations of our customers. Working with a Fife-based roastery also strengthens our local supply chain and gives us a great story to share with customers about what’s in their cup.”

Modern Standard founder, Lynsey Harley, added: “I created Modern Standard to bring great coffee to everyone. Exercise and sport has always been an important part of my life, and I believe staying active is important throughout life, so I’m really proud that we now have the opportunity to bring our coffee to so many people in sport and leisure settings across Fife.’” 

Modern Standard Coffee roasts in small batches, focusing on ethically sourced beans that deliver both exceptional flavour and traceability from farm to cup. This aligns closely with Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s values around sustainability, wellbeing and community impact.
