The Old Brewhouse in Angus

Room clean and quiet. Staff friendly and attentive. Beautiful location a few paces from the water. Had a meal in the restaurant and left very full and satisfied. Top notch!

Eaten here a number of times over the years, and never had to submit a single complaint. Great food and lovely staff. Highly recommend.

A lovely wee place at the harbour. Super clean, with the most wonderful staff, great food, and comfortable rooms. We will definitely return here again.

Just realised I've been coming here for 30 years. After today, never again! The standards have been SLOWLY declining through change of ownerships over the years. But today, to be served STONE COLD Cullen Skink for my lunch was unacceptable. Whoever served this obviously didn't even check it before it came to our table. When I complained the waitress did not even look concerned to hear this nor to see I was upset about this. I just got "Oh well, I'll just get it heated up for you!" As if it was no big deal. How can you mess up serving just a bowl of soup?! I shall be getting in touch with someone in health and safety as most of the customers were senior citizens today and I would hate to think of them becoming ill due to lack of food handling care by the staff there

Pub restaurant with rooms located near the sea but within walking distance of the port and the town centre. The cones are excellent, well prepared with quality products. Good choice of cocktails and beers. The well-furnished rooms all have a comfortable bathroom and you feel at ease. Praise for the service, the staff is kind and prepared. Advised

Had to leave a wee review for this lovely place. Went today for lunch with hubby and our wee dog opted for the Arbroath smokie crepe which was amazing The lady who served us was just lovely she brought a bowl of water for our dog and also a bowl of chicken!! Lovely snug surroundings only annoyed we didn’t have room for pudding! Next time. Highly recommend 😁

Nice welcome and lovely cooked breakfast. Coffee was excellent. Will definitely return.

We stopped here as part of our honeymoon along with our pet dog. The location was perfect, just off the harbour. The room was spotless and the staff were lovely. We ate our evening meal and breakfast there as well and it was all delicious and very good value.

Amazing food and amazing service as always.

Amazing food and amazing service, the old brewhouse never disappoint. staff are always attentive and lovely. Food was served promptly and of such great quality. Would 1000% recommend. Thank you

Great food and wonderful service. I had haddock florentine which was excellent. In a beautiful location right beside the harbour Truly dog-friendly too!

Lovely staff… lovely food in a stunning setting.

No fault with the food … steak pie always delicious, and the fish and chips looked lovely. However, customer service leaves a bit to be desired (and have found this the last few times). On last visit with friends, no checks carried out to ask if all ok, if anymore drinks required etc. On clearing plates, server asked if we’d like to see dessert menu, which we declined, but commented we’d have a coffee in a wee while. No one returned to our table to ask for any additional drinks orders, and on going to the bar to order coffees, we were told the machine had been cleaned and was switched off!

I had lunch here with my mum and sister. The food was excellent. Wide choice something for everyone. Staff were friendly and efficient. The only slight niggle was it wasn't the warmest.I would highly recommend a visit here.

This place is a wee gem situated at the very bottom of the high street near the sea. Food is amazing, I chose the steak pie and my husband had the haddock. Both dishes absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Staff make you feel very welcome which makes this place hard to beat. Ten out of ten from us.

Had lunch here with our friends who wanted to taste Arbroath Smokies during our visit. Service was excellent, and the Smokies very well received.

Such a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, prices good and when they found out that my mate liked prawn they did an efford to get him something, very kind! The house itself is 1700th something and very authentically restaurated! Very nice!

Lovely friendly pub,the fish was really tasty, will hopefully return.

Lovely stay with comfortable clean and spacious room. We had food in the restaurant and it was really tasty and the portions were big, staff friendly and helpful. Would love to come back

Wonderful place, great food and service and a gorgeous view of the sea. They don’t serve alcohol til 12:30 on a Sunday, just FYI, and WiFi is a little spotty but all in all 10/10 would come back again!!

Popped in for a drink. Nice friendly service. Good pint. Dog friendly.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Excellent location right by the town & seafront & theatre etc. Bed was super comfy, nice room design, lovely big walk in shower, good WiFi. I didn't eat here, but staff were nice enough when I did see them in passing. The pub is about 10 mins walk to the train station. Some nice walks in Arbroath & they are only a short distance from the hotel too. Local football stadium not far either. Slight drawbacks - some creaky floorboards elsewhere which woke me up a couple of mornings. Also, check in should be earlier than the 4pm currently, that's pretty late imo. On the whole though I had a really good stay here & would book again for sure.

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.

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

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.

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

The best Cullen Skink soup by a country mile.

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 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.

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

**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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!
