I went with my husband and friends to try the smokie fish & chips and it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered mozzarella sticks and they were huge (never have seen something that big) and scrumptious! For dessert, we couldn't resist a Pink Panther Sundae, specially as the second dessert you order it's half price, so we ordered two! What else can we ask for? On top of that, the service was amazing. Waitress found us a table next to a window as we asked for and made sure we had everything we needed or requested :) Happy customers. Will recommend 100%

Love this place. The food is excellent with a great selection of traditional dishes such as pizzas, burgers, fish and chips and the irreproachable Mr. Whippy ice cream, alongside new innovations like battered Arbroath smokies- I had this and it has now ruined me for ordinary fish and chips for life- masala fish, or the ‘roughly foot long mozzarella stick’ which I wasn’t brave enough to try, but if it’s anything like the ones they offer for a starter it will be genre-defying. There’s no alcohol licence but you can BYOB (though it can be a bit of a blessing in disguise to not be a pint deep while also working your way through the unfailingly generous portions). Service is always delightful; kind and attentive. They also serve good vegetarian/vegan options and there’s a decent sized car park…and on the left nice views of the North Sea.

Worth the cost! We went there for dinner, and were impressed with the variety in the menu. I had Battered Haddock with Chips, and husband went for the Arbroath Smoky (one in the pic). Both were great servings, to the point that neither of us managed to finish. Had a sundae for dessert, and that was also very nice.

Stopped in for a late lunch on our way back from Pleasure land as the reviews seemed quite positive. The atmosphere was lacking a bit, nice decor but it wasn't busy and felt quite "stiff" maybe some quiet background music would help? Staff were nice but felt attentive at the wrong times. We were rushed to put our order in (came over 3 times in the first 5 minutes of being sat) but when we had questions, wanted re-fills or wanted to pay they were nowhere to be seen. Food was nice, highly reccomend the massala fish or smokies as these were both incredible. Everything else was nice and well made but nothing spectacular. Overall would definitely come back but maybe when it is a bit busier so the atmosphere feels more full and energetic.

I came to the Bellrock during a visit to Arbroath to try the famous Arbroath Smokie. It was delicious. The owner Adil also prepared a few pieces of masala fish for me to sample. Like the smokie it was delicious and the spice was at just the right level to compliment the fish. The portion sizes were very generous, and Adil and his staff were very welcoming. If you ever happen to be in Arbroath I'd definitely recommend the Bellrock.

First visit here in a long time but so glad that we went there. It was mid-afternoon so not busy. Served by two friendly members of staff. We both had haddock and chips which was of the highest quality. The chips were freshly and perfectly cooked. The batter on the fish was light and delicious. The fish was very tasty and a generous size. A side dish of curry sauce was delicious too.

Bellrock is hands down the best fish and chips shop in Arbroath. Battered cod supper is delicious and portion is huge. We regularly get a takeaway delivered to our home and it’s always hot and tasty. Decent price too. Good to feed the family when they visit too - if it’s not too cold you can grab a bench looking over the harbour.

We had a lovely meal of fish and chips. The menu has a list. We ordered mushy peas, curry sauce, and gravy to go with the Haddock and chips. Haddock in batter very fresh full of flavour very tasty and the batter light and crunchy . Chips beautifully cooked to perfection All in the food we had was delicious and piping hot. Waitress service was friendly and efficient and we did not have to wait too long for our meal. We also had pot of tea and a cappuccino which tasted lovely. I did notice they do a huge variety menu, pizza, 3 course buffet menu, and Sunday roasts. I would recommend The Bell Rock Restaurant ,

Don't let the exterior of the Bellrock put you off. The Arbroath Smokie is the A-List Hollywood Star of the show. We had it Battered and another one Breaded, with chips; but you can also have it grilled with the bones left in if you want the true Smokie experience. There's a reason why the Smokie has EU protected status. It should be on everyone's Bucket List of food to try

The burger arrived very burnt. The patti and bun were well blackened, which unfortunately made the burger taste like a piece of coal. The mozzarella sticks were good. For dessert we had fried Mars bars. The taste was as bizarre as it sounds. But okay. Unfortunately, the fried cuisine was nothing to me despite the solid staff.

Surprisingly, this shop serve HALAL menu, which they cook in separate kitchen and of HALAL resources, as per the staff information. Fish and chip is superb!. Ordered haddock and couldn't be better. Portion is enormous; the fish and the fries. Pure potato cut, not the instant in-package. Price is quite in the high note but the portion worth the value. The offer lunch buffet and ala-carte.
