The Bellrock Restaurant in Angus

Good honest food, we had the buffet and it was fresh, hot, attractive and tasty. The restaurant was about half to 3/4 full and the staff were efficient and friendly. The food came out regularly so we knew it was freshly cooked.

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.

Ordered fish and chips was amazing fresh baked and hot

Lovely food. We enjoyed our takeaway. Lovely spicy chicken for me and a black pudding supper for him

Love this place!! Food is amazing ☺️

Hi everytime we go for our holiday we always go into bellrock absolutely fantastic place beautiful food and lovely staff would highly recommend the bellrock wouldn't go anywhere else it's fantastic

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 ,

Good cheery customer service when I’m there. Would defo recommend

Brilliant lunch buffet on offer, great value and staff very friendly and welcoming.

Staff always super friendly except Bob….only joking Bob is fab too!

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

Bellrock smokie is still amazing, and the staff are still friendly

Very nice food very friendly staff and good atmosphere . Will definitely visit next we are up in Arbroath.

Great service,king rib was a bit greasy, but pizza was lovely custard a bit lumpy, but apple crumble was fantastic 👌 😀

Better than last time when they charged holiday rates for buffet lunch and it was not a public holiday

Been here twice now while visiting Arbroath,great food especially the lasagne

The best chips in the area by far! Mock chop, smoked sausage, chips, mars bar all amazing. The best dinner take out in the area.

Absolutely delicious!, best chippy smokie with batter supper , in fact the best we have ever tasted , arrived hot!

Had full smoked sausage supper, mock chop, big foot sausage all were amazing don't get all of that back home in kent

What a brilliant restaurant its does a buffet everyday from 12 til 3 great variety of chip shop food including fish and chips and masal fish, white pudding, king rib, 2 special dishes different each day, pizza, fresh homemade soup, black pudding and much more. hot deserts are normally sticky toffe pudding, apple crumble and rice pudding and custard if you wanted it. Also has a cold selection of deserts including coconut cake, choc cake, triffle and fruit. Thier is salad bar with potato salad, coleslaw, cheese, pickles eggs, Cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot, pasta salad etc, the drinks are refillable on soft drinks. If you prefer not to have a buffet you can eat of the main menu which has a very good selection. You can sit in chairs that are near the sea in arbroath with loads of nice scenery. staff very good and willing to help

Ordered takeaway. The servers were lovely; very friendly. Fish was delicious (battered smokies were great) and so was the king rib.

What a fantastic place! We arrived in time for the 12-2 buffet lunch the wife, 2 kids and I had loads of great options to choose from- all cooked to perfection and really tasty, staff couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful and everything at a very reasonable price. We will definately be back soon. 👍👍

Had a chippie box. What great value and good food. Staff are very chatty and welcoming.

Burger I had was full of spices and way overcooked was like eating charcoal also prices are shockingly expensive not worth your money.

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.

The food is very oily and tastes very bad

Lovely staff and the platter for two is very reasonably priced and is really nice.

Sorry but your food was terrible

Lunchtime. Charged full holiday price though not a public holiday.

Went for the all you can eat buffet. Excellent value.

The food was freshly prepared, tasted really good and the service was perfect too. Friendly staff, efficient and in a clean and nice atmosphere.

Didn't stay, took one look at the menu and left £15 for a fish supper 🤣 chippies at the pier for half that.

We all had fish n chips was lovely and staff was polite and respectful we had good experience

Outstanding food. absolutely everything was delicious. Fresh fish,grill fish Wonderful, welcoming staff. Absolutely 10/10.

The Bellrock smokie is one of the very best fish and chip dinners in the whole country, really outstanding. Traditional smokie also good and they're very child friendly.

Good selection of starters, mains and desserts. Friendly staff.

Excellent fish & chip restaurant, lovely food and friendly staff. Would definitely go again.

Got a single fish, cooked when I ordered but batter was soggy. Fish was cooked but batter either too thick or could have been done longer. Fish when cooked was up to drain for bout30 seconds before put in container. It was only salted,no vinegar. Seperate chips and cheese was ok as was pizza crunch.

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.

Really good food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

Ordered a Cod Supper, when I ate it, there was more batter than fish, the fish was dry, I've seen more fish on a pilchard!...I suggest using the other fish restaurants in arbroath!

Only needed one fish supper between two of us

If you love a chipper then the lunch time chipper buffet is a must! All you can eat for a very decent price. Great food and well worth the value for money!

Took a trip up on the train from Glasgow to try the buffet it's small but dose not dissapoint! Friendly staff. Nice place for a cycle also 😁

Amazing food so fresh the staff very friendly reasonably priced . Absolutely a winner excellent 👌👍

Do brilliant kababs chips are delicious 😋

The best fish and chips in Scotland 🔝

Absolutely Banging fish and chips Couldn't believe the size of the fish Great value Great taste

Lovely buffet, great selection of food.

Smashing Lunch very well priced

Great gluten free fish and chips, gluten free smoked sausage supper. Hubby had chicken curry and says it was fab. Will go back on our next visit

Fantastic mushroom soup. 5/5. But there is always room for improvement

How do they manage it?! The food is amazing, service really good and the price is reasonable. Everyone there works hard and keeps busy. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the menu choices are plentiful and it's always a pleasurable experience at the Bell Rock. Also, their milkshakes are bleedin incredible!!

We enjoyed an absolutely delicious sharing platter for 2. So tasty, lots of it, so much we took enough home for our tea tomorrow! Excellent service. Definitely recommend and definitely will be back.

2 large fish suppers and has no issues. Food was well cooked and quick service.

Only used the takeaway but staff always friendly, good food always piping hot and fresh

You have to try the Bellrock Smokie. Absolutely amazing smokey flavour. Loved the honest cafeteria style atmosphere in the place. No pretention whatsoever. Onion rings were extremely crispy and tasty as well. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food and amazing service, food was piping hot, fresh and well presented and service very friendly, big portions, have been before and will definitely be back 👍🏼 👌🏻

I've had better food elsewhere. My coffee didn't come out until I had nearly finished my meal. The cappuccino was served in a latte cup with no chocolate on top. Won't be going back.

Good food, great service, pleasant view at the seaside. Both take away and sitting in.

It was absolutely mediocre. That’s all you can really say about the buffet. Over priced for what it was, very slow to replenish food, chips barely warm, pizza room temperature, fish warm, deserts mixed in with salads, just altogether a very disappointing experience.

I certainly wouldn't have written here but I think people who spend hard earned money on food deserve the right to know what type of people these who run it now are. Been going here for years a couple of times a year. Always enjoyed their food but the last couple of times we found it very greasy. My wife asked the waitress if her gluten free fish could be drained a wee bit longer than usual as she also has Colitis. Sadly it came out saturated in yellow grease. I left a review on their Facebook page saying so.....their way of dealing with negative feedback is to block you. Never came across any business do that before

We took my mum out for a meal for mothers day and the food at the Bellrock was excellent....was a bit worried though as about about half an hour in I started to itch then spots on my arm, shoulder and hip came up and they were really itchy...I don't know what it was could have been elergic to their cleaning stuff but I've been here before and this hasn't happened... This won't stop me going again

1 x fish supper & 1 white pudding supper. Both excellent, crispy batter, big very tasty fish. Service was bit slow but they were quite busy. Would definitely go back

The statf were friendly and welcoming. There was a nice atmosphere in the place. The soup was lovely. However the fish had been lying under heat lamps for too long and was a bit dried out. The dessert choice was very good. We will return but be more careful of the condition of the fish.

The food here is honestly not the best but the staff are nice and the interior is great. The chips especially I'm not a fan of, the rest of the food I'd describe as alright, but they do really nice milkshakes. The food is quite pricey for what it is.

Saw this restaurant on TV so had to visit the spicy fish is amazing

Great food does a Buffett menu at lunch time nice staff

Took grand kids out for a meal yesterday honest opinion was rubbish paid almost £60.00 had a little bit of salad small piece of fish 1or 2 chips will not go back good for people that just like to eat as much as they can no taste also charged £3.00 for glass of coke shocking

Got a cheese burger and chips not great burger had no taste to it and the little handful of chips I got were dry and hard Kids got chips and chicken fillets and the chicken fillets were dripping with grease have orderd from here before and just the same thought I would give it a second chance won’t order from here again there are better and much cheaper chippies out there rating 3/10

Excellent fish and chips. The buffet looked tempting, but I was too late. Next time I visit Arbroath, I will check it out.

We periodically travel up from Fife to our favourite chippy. It's spoiled all other chip shops for us. We always go for the battered smokie supper with some extra sides. Smoked fish battered, unreal! Nice friendly atmosphere, no frills, just what you want from a chippy.

Place a good vibe, nice and clean place with a good atmosphere in restaurant. Food is always served good here.

Favourite place to eat in Arbroath

Ok chip shop restaurant but very very slow service and not very good service either, very disappointed with this place !

Great food as always... recommended the homemade steak pie..

Food and staff were top notch. Will defo be going back.

Excellent fish and chips. Peas would have gave it 5 stars 🤩

We really enjoyed our meals this visit and the staff were lovely. The pricing is fair for the meals you get. The food was far superior to my previous visit years ago, I used to find the food too greasy despite the fact it's a chippy. This visit the food was perfect in comparison.

Nice fish 🐟 Masala. Must try everyone. 😋

Really nice food and friendly staff. If you visit once you'll go back.

Just took delivery of fish and chips. Fish dry and tasteless very poor quality, not what you would expect from a seaside restaurant. Decision made not going to waste my time or money on ordering from the Bellrock again. Would not recommend.

Had a lovely dinner here with my family first time there will be back

Was nice but not nearly as much choice as there used to be

A quaint restaurant near the harbour off the A92. Delicious food. Special senior menu includes a 3 course meal for 15.99 pounds. Menu has a variety of items to choose from. Food is reasonably priced. Children menu available. Free parking is available.

Great place for a takeaway and a walk along the beach/harbour next to the historical signal tower, they also have a restaurant with a buffet in the afternoon.

Just had a delivery of fish and chips they were great but.... The chilli dog was very CHILLY. No way had it been heated the cheese on top hadn't even begun to melt. Phoned to complain was offered another but it was already being heated at home. A discount on my next order would have been nice though.

Very poor menu, even worse if you want vegan, 2 options fake fish or fake chicken and you can have either salad or chips with it, not both, for £15.99!!!! Honestly couldn't believe it. Didn't bother with that, had a plate of chips which came out totally overcooked, crunchy or teeth breaking 😁 My friend had lentil soup which wasn't vegan and her son had a smokie in batter and chips. What is wrong with making real food and not just beige food that you can stick in a fryer. Not very impressed, won't be back. They were very good at cleaning though 🤣

Excellent place for a meal. Friendly staff who are very helpful. Plenty parking spaces.

I got two large chips and one had a hair in it,, Don't know how but no thanks 🤢😞 disappointing because it seems like a good chippy but it's put me off 🦆

Yesterday my Daughter, son-in-law, and 3 grandson's (aged 11,8,8) went for the buffet lunch. There was a large selection of different foods, which were freshly cooked and replenished as soon as the container was empty. I mentioned my Grandson's ages because they were able to go up to the Buffet by themselves and get their own plates filled. (You can see the actual buffet from every table in the Restaurant) It gives them that little bit of independence 😊, plus the adults didn't have to leave their food to get the boy's fed, Win-win all round. Would definitely recommend 👌 👍.

Love the different foods at the buffet but the sticky toffee pudding and rice pudding are sooo yummy

I was in arbroath for work and popped in for work. I really enjoyed the food

Option of ordering from menu or set price buffet, which is the better for value. Good choice of chip shop favourites, pizza, salad & desserts. However vegetarians may struggle with options.

Nice food. Good location, resealable prices.

Restaurant located at Beautiful environment , seafront view. This is not the first time for us . Big portions for the price we pay . But food can be more tastier, lots of dressing for the fish , it make less tastier . Halal options also available. We seven people went , overall score 6/10 .

Never got an item we had ordered and paid for

Loved the Bellrock Arbroath Smokie

Fish was greasy, service very slow , not as good as it used to be ,,,,,, not inspired to go back !

Good food with lots of choices. The haddock is excellent. Big portions and also smaller portions available too.
