The Old Brewhouse in Angus

Just arrived but so far lovely suite and pub/restaurant . Super dog friendly. In hotel and accommodation. Planning to stay an extra night! Would recommend definitely 👌 👍 💯

Didn't stay so cannot comment on rooms, the food was lovely as were the staff, we had our furbaby with us and they provided a bowl of water and some cooked chicken for him. This was our first but certainly not our last visit to this gem,we will certainly be telling our friends and family about it.

The location was perfect for us, just at the end of the street we were staying on our holiday. The food was great, but the portions were massive, so bear in mind when you order. The girls who were serving were very friendly, welcoming, and smiling, which is rare nowadays.

Nice room, clean overall. Very quiet establishment, the restaurant located in the building closes early, so it does not disturb rest. Public parking is available a 5-minute walk away.

The staff were amazing from the time we came in the side door into the dog area until we left.

Arbroath Smokie didnt disappoint 😋

Tasty food and great service. Delicious smokie :)

Just popped in for lunch, food was very nice and very dog friendly, Izzy had peices of chicken and water bought out for her. The staff were lovely Thanks

Our visit was for my wife to Try a Smokie. I had the Chicken stuffed with Haggis. Our plates were cold when the food was served which is poor as the food goes cold quicker as my wife is a slower eater. The Smokie and Chips and the Chicken with haggis were fine but the carrots were tasteless. The staff were very attentive and chatty. To be honest with the prices of the food we expected slightly better vegetables. My pint of Pepsi was £4.50 !! That, is extortionate a complete rip off. Lager was the same price. We will not return unless I stay on tap water.

Dropped in for a coffee, ended up staying for 2 as the place is so friendly and welcoming. Very friendly staff and they make a good latte!

Popped in for bar lunch seevice was very quick after ordering steak pie, it was nice £32 for 2 drinks and 2 small portions.

Wonderful lunch! Smoked haddok in a special fish and chips!

Very nice service with an overview. Very friendly and attentive. Had everything under control.

Popped in for my lunch with a mate food was fantastic service was excellent and the whole day was excellent great staff and we're friendly second time there won't be the last would recommend this place

Didn't stay there Food was lovely and the staff was very friendly And a lovely place to relax and enjoy

We had lunch at this place, found by chance while walking. We asked for two typical dishes and they recommended smoked fish, they are famous for it in this country. And also a classic fish and chips, both very tasty dishes. If we could have this smoked fish in Genoa... great experience like the amber beer. Thank you.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Our food was delicious and the service was perfect. Best meal out I've had for years. Will definitely be returning and telling others to give it a try. We were in tonight and are all stuffed and happy.

Our bed/mattress in room 2 definitely needs to be replaced. Otherwise everything is really fine.

We had dinner. The food was very good, the drinks were nice and cold and the staff was very friendly.

We had a meal here on a Sunday evening, it was nice to see the place very busy and booking is recommended. We are both gluten intolerant and find it difficult to find places that offer more than a couple of basic options. This certainly isn't the case here. There was so much choice that it was difficult to choose. We both had steak, it was beautifully cooked, and the onion rings were the best GF onion rings I've ever had. Great place to eat.

I have been a couple of times for lunch - always agood experience. This was my first time going for dinner. We were a group of 6 - friends over from France who absolutely loved the smokie crepe and clootie dumpling. Great menu, atmosphere, delicious food and absolutely brilliant service. Our waitrose was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Great place to eat, good food reasonably priced, job done

Had the best steak dinner I've had in a long time, deffo the best ive had in Scotland and we have travelled most of scotland and paid a lot more for a lot less quality, spot on 👍

Very accommodating, food was brilliant and service was great!

FOOD REVIEW: Came for lunch only (didn’t stay in their accommodation). Lunch was great. Their smokies were delicious and service was very friendly and accommodating.

The Old Brewhouse serves the best home-made lasagna in my opinion. Great service and location! Cheesecake was fantastic too!

Best Mozzarella sticks around and awesome service

We were taken here by friends for an evening meal. The place looked cosy from the outside, and looked nice inside too. The staff were friendly and polite. We crab fishcakes for starters with sweet chilli sauce, these I really enjoyed crisp breadcrumb coating and sweet chilli was the perfect compliment for them. For mains we had fish and chips, as you do being on the coast. The batter was light but seemed a little greasy, I was expecting cod or haddock but I think it was bream, don't get me wrong I love bream but not battered, bream is best grilled or bbq'ed, chips were thick and crisp and the peas a touch hard, so sort of enjoyed it but I didn't if you know what I mean, so the big question would I go back? Only if they had more sea food options on the menu.

The best Cullen Skink soup by a country mile.

The curry was literally rice with curry ketchup

We both had the seafood crepe, which was excellent. The plate was too small for the generous quantity of plainly cooked peas and carrots, which were dry, unsauced, and tended to land on the table. I would gently suggest a larger plate or fewer plain vegetables. The crepe is so good the veggies almost let it down?

Very attentive with good service.

The room was simple and clean. We were particularly impressed by the friendly and helpful staff, who even kept the kitchen open a little longer because we were close due to the flight delay. Furthermore, the food was very tasty. The hotel is also located directly on the sea, perfect for a stroll in the harbor at dusk.

Visited here for a bite to eat with our dog, who was made to feel very welcome, fresh water and a bowl of chicken from the kitchen! The service/staff here were top notch! Really friendly and accommodating, genuinely so, so nice.

Excellent room, excellent meals, all fresh on the day. I had Haddock, more like a whale size, freshly cooked and cooked. The sweets are yo die for. Lovely harnour location and ideal for town or a walk along the seashore. Highly recommended

Popped in for food tonight as a last minute booking , we had a lovely meal 5 star 🌟 cheesecake was to die for 😃 staff friendly and food delicious what more can you ask for 🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only had coffee which was OK but nothing special

Stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed wonderful hospitality, fabulous large comfortable room and great food. It really was worth every penny and I highly recommend

The Cullen Skink is a must. Delicious. 😍

Beautiful meal and great service

The Old Brewhouse, Arbroath is situated right on the sea front and the views are superb. We were in the Signal Tower room and the accommodation was clean and spacious with a relaxing ambience. We ate dinner in the downstairs restaurant and the food was fresh, tasty and portions are generous. As you'd expect at the coast, the fish is delicious and the haddock and chips were a winner with us. We'd highly recommend an Arbroath Smokie for breakfast. The bar is well stocked with lots of whisky and gins to chose from and the staff are knowledgeable. We'd highly recommend The Old Brewhouse - accommodation was perfect, they're dog friendly and staff really make a big effort to make guests welcome - great place to stay and eat.

**Review:** The smell of fish inside and outside the room was overwhelming. I understand it's a fishing place, but the lingering odor of rotten fish is unforgettable. Apart from this, the place was okay. However, the prices are high for the quality offered. At £130 per night, it's the same price as the Hilton Glasgow, yet there's no breakfast included. Regarding the restaurant service, the staff were peculiar and uncommunicative. My stay was a last-minute booking due to a job in Dundee, so I had to stay overnight. For any other reason, I wouldn't recommend it. I could tolerate the odor, but the poor customer service is unacceptable.

Had a great night food was lovely and staff very pleasant would definitely recommend it we had fish and steak pie it was brilliant

I recently was here with my family for a meal. Staff were very friendly and it created a very relaxed atmosphere.My family and I really enjoyed the food and will likely come back in the future

We were out for a walk and saw the menu and couldnt resist the smokie crepes and cullen skink. We were not disappointed. The cullen skink was the best ever. Lovely atmosphere and very good service.

Had lunch here, Arbroath smokie and cheddar panini with Cullen slink. The panini was quite small but tasty it was served with some salad and nacho crisps. The Cullen skunk was ok but more like a chowder as it had prawns in it . Proper Cllen skunk is potatoes, smoked haddock, onion and milk. The staff were pleasant and friendly.

Only had cup of tea as was wating on someone (never turned up) the staff was very friendly, even though it was very busy they took time to give excellent service. Would definitely go back again

We only went to visit and had a bite to eat outdoors. The chips were amazing, well worth the visit, and the carrot and corriander soup is delicious. So much so, my Mrs want the recipe.

Lovely comforting pub food. Nice service. Always a winner.

Food was delicious certainly be back staff were lovely and friendly too

We called in for lunch and decided on the local speciality - the Arbroath smokie. The food was delicious, the fish tasty (if boney!) and well presented. The staff were very pleasant. It was a shame several bench tables outside were out of action as they were broken - it was a glorious afternoon and would have been pleasant to be able to sit outside, but all the other tables were taken.

My in laws were staying here for a couple of nights and we came up as a day trip to visit. We had some light bites outside in the beer garden area. The carrot and coriander soup was absolutely delicious and the portion of chips were lovely! The chips were chunky, and tasted like proper triple cooked chips. They even brought us a bowl of water for the dogs, and helped us out with the drinks from the bar. This is the second time we’ve had drinks/food here and would definitely return. Staff are friendly. The toilets were immaculate and the basket in the bathrooms of sanitary products was such a lovely touch.

We were warmly welcomed for lunch. Lots of menu choices. In the end we chose traditional fish n chips and steak pie. Both meals arrived quite quickly. Food was delicious and generous portion sizes. Luckily for us, the place was dog friendly and the waitress kindly brought Barony a water bowl and a dish of chicken too! Before leaving we visited the toilets and were blown away by the cleanliness and freshness of the facilities. Plenty of pubs and restaurants take note...clean toilets do matter. Overall we would highly recommend this restaurant / pub.

Some very tasty food after a long walk from Carnoustie

Had the Cullen Skink it was amazing first time trying it. Definitely be back.

Lovely place! Staff, service, food 5* Highly recommended! Also so nice with animals ( we mentioned that is our dog bday and they brought him chicken meat bowl with a candle, my heart was melting) Thank you so much! We will be back for sure! Also rest rooms were so-so clean, everything!

Everything is very good. Uncomplicated key handover in the restaurant. Large, clean rooms with a shower and a view of the harbor. Small pastries and tea are available. There is a small fridge! There are parking spaces behind the house. The food was very good. Unfortunately, the optionally bookable breakfast would only be available from 10 a.m.

WOW! hopefully, stay here again,

Great stop over on our tour of Scotland

The food was very tasty and the service was extremely good. Dogs are welcome, there was even a small bowl of chicken for the four-legged friend with their meal :-) Price performance absolutely okay.

Enjoyed a cool pint out the front on a hot sunny day . My only moan was £4.40 for a beer.

Super dog friendly! We stopped here for lunch after reading the dog-friendly reviews and we were not disappointed. Fabulous Smokie Gratin and Cullen Skink and yummy burger. And our 3 doggies were given water and a bowl of fresh chicken each. Spoiled! Thanks for the fabulous welcome. Also - the cleanest toilets we'd ever seen in a pub.

Lovely place to have lunch and a drink. Relaxed atmosphere, great food and service. Will return.

Great place to stay, centrally located right by the water. Nice pub downstairs

A cozy place near the harbour, lovely food and dogs are welcome.

Didn't stay at the hotel, but visited for lunch the food and service was great especially after taking a stroll and viewing the shore . Highly recommend. The cheesecake was awesome wouldnt miss that on my next visit .Perfect !!

In for dinner while staying for weekend elsewhere. Had a lovely meal. Husband said it was the best stroganoff he has tasted in a long time. Servers were really nice and friendly. Would recommend

Lovely cosy place to stay. We stayed in the Captain's Cabin with our 2 chihuahuas. Sound proofed - we never heard the wind or rain. The wet room was easy to use. Plenty tea & Coffee. We ate in the Bar with the dogs, who were delighted to be given chicken. They sat in the basket in front of the chimney. Fish & chips was excellent, Brewhouse breakfast was generous. . The dogs got sausage. Nice walk on the beach very close by and in the Harbour. We visited the Bell Rock Lighthouse Museum, our reason for staying in Aberdour. Really interesting. We would definitely stay here again, very dog friendly.

Dog friendly, lovely lunch, good service

Booked a table for 3pm and was able to stay until 8.30pm which was very kind of the staff who were super nice and helpful. The food was amazing! I would recommend everything ;)

Second visit. The potato soup is a delight. The atmosphere is terrific.

Went in for a beer before football match very nice staff friendly also dog friendly.

Fabulous Food. Highly recommended

Had a bar lunch, good food freshly made in a very pleasant atomosfire.

For a shop that's next to the harbour there was more greasy batter than fish. The chips where frozen, soup was cold to buy the macaroni came out in a shallow plate still bubbling from being microwaved to death if the waitress had dropped the plate would have been 3 rd degree burns it took 3 minutes to stop bubbling on the plate Heinz tasted better that and two cokes £50 I dodge this pitch not the same as it was few years back big let down we left most of it on the plate. If there's a chef in there they should be ashamed of themselves

Great plate of fish and chips - beautifully crispy batter on fresh fish, tasty chips and tartare sauce. The service was excellent! The staff were especially friendly to our dog, who was with us. They made us all feel very welcome. Thank you!

I have had lunch here many times over the last 3 years since moving to Arbroath and I have always had a lovely meal. I am coeliac which they cater for with a gluten free menu. Large portions of tasty grub. I enjoy there gluten free haddock and chips. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Atmosphere is cosy and calm. Dog friendly - staff provided my pup with water and offer treats very visit. Good value for money in my option.

Fantastic place with amazing views. Nice treats for the dogs ..... they loved it too 😀

Went for grub Brother treated me Right nice and better deal if you do two/ three courses Good location Great cheesecake desert Nice walk along front to get there too

The apartment across the road from the hotel is just fabulous. When we first walked in it was just immaculate, bright, warm, cozy, very obviously dog friendly, the beds are obscenely comfortable! Arbroath itself is naturally beautiful and just a fantastic holiday spot. There are some very good fairies looking after this place for sure.

great food and service in great location

Excellent food and wonderful service

A nice place to meet family fir lunch

I had a smokie crepe which was nice but tasted very like the fish pie I make myself. It was served with frozen vegetables which is a massive negative for me. At a cost of £17.95 I don’t expect frozen veg. I always eat fresh veg at home so find this quite shocking. My friend’s veggie dish that was a lot cheaper was actually delicious as was my other friend’s cullen skink. Our desserts were lovely. It’s clear that there is a good chef but they shouldn’t cut corners.

Cannot comment on rooms as only went for food. Service was amazing such friendly and welcoming staff. Food was absolutely amazing, most cheese macaroni cheese I've ever had. Dog friendly also which is a massive plus. Cannot fault service at all and will definitely return again

Loved the Hotel and the staff were very helpful and the food delicious. Beautiful sea views from the room too. Cosy inside freezing and snowy outside.

Fab boutique rooms above the restaurant. Spacious with a nice sized en suite shower room. Toiletries, tea ,coffee and biscuits provided. Had a lovely meal in the Restaurant. No cask ale but the bottled Orkney Northern Light was excellent. Great food. Great rooms. Wonderful staff

VERY welcoming and VERY dog friendly. Popped in for breakfast after walking the dogs on beach. Fantastic breakfast, well presented. Then the waitress appeared with some bowls of chicken for our dogs!

This is a charming pub restaurant on the waterside. We had a really enjoyable lunch with a good choice of children’s meals and friendly service. It’s also doggie friendly which we appreciated. We’ll definitely return.

We went with two friends for dinner. We all had two courses but we’re too full for dessert. Service was prompt and cheery. Food was excellent. Nice wee bar/ lounge/restaurant. No complaints other than it was pouring rain and couldn’t get parked very close.

Good place - I will come back again :)

Great pre-Christmas evening. Food excellent and good service

We went for a Xmas meal last week and found it very mediocre . Turkey was tender but gravy was jelly like . Roast potatoes had been over done and stuffing was tasteless . Have eaten here many times before but we were disappointed this time

We went today for Christmas lunch with family. Al, the food was tasty and wel, presented. The service was prompt and friendly

Stayed here twice already this year... Had booked a room and family meal.. but partner fell ill with the winter vomit bug. They were quite strict about the no cancellation policy.. I truly hope they are equally as diligent with cleaning ... Hey Ho! ... I shan't be back

Great room, lovely staff and a stunning breakfast to set you up for the day.

Nice enviorment.. serve us at short notice.. meal pleasant and tasty. Will be back again .

Great situation, pleasant atmosphere, nice surroundings, good food, recommended.

Amazing place, food was great, even met someone I went to school with.

Had an amazing meal and drinks today will definitely return
