Contribute FeedbackThe Bell Rock offers patrons a charming harbor setting with a diverse menu that appeals to various tastes. While many diners appreciate the generous portions, particularly the acclaimed fries and tasty fish dishes, there are concerns about inconsistent execution and service. Some reviews highlight the need for improved attention to detail, with missed orders and underwhelming dishes like bland desserts. The ambience is pleasant, with friendly staff and clean facilities. Overall, The Bell Rock remains a popular choice for casual dining, though some diners may find themselves hesitant to return for a full meal after their visit.
We had such a great experience at The Bell Rock that we felt compelled to write a review! I wish I could say that everyone's plate was cleaned, but the portion sizes were just too large. Among the ten of us, we all agreed that they served the best fries ever! Everything was incredibly delicious, well, almost everything. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was because the Sticky Toffee Pudding was disappointingly bland, lacking that wonderful sticky toffee flavor. Everything else was fantastic! We will definitely be returning!
I haven't visited this restaurant in years, and I will never return. Everything about this takeaway is terrible.
I have visited this restaurant multiple times and the food is consistently excellent. I have never encountered my fish being overly oily, which I despise. The dishes are always cooked well and beautifully presented. The portion sizes are perfect, and I always enjoy a nice cup of tea. The staff are always professional, helpful, and friendly. I feel relaxed and comfortable every time I visit. I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you, guys!
During a lunchtime stop in Arbroath heading north we were looking for a chippie at the harbour. They were all closed (noting this was a Monday in November) and we were pointed to this place, where you can sit in. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't great and at £15 each it wasn't cheap. We do realize costs have gone up especially for food vendors of this type, but costs have also gone up for all of us, and it seemed that all other diners were there for the all-you-can-eat buffet. On the plus side, the service was good and the view from our window seat was of the Signal Tower Museum (which we later visited), pretty cool. Would we return? Maybe for a coffee but that would be all.
I have been a regular for about 20 years. Tonight’s experience may change that. Placed phone order and had to repeat 3 times. Arrived and paid and then waited 10 minutes for food to then discovered it was already bagged and sitting on the countertop. Server said nobody had said I was there. That is probably as the person I paid was chatting to someone else. Fish was not particularly nice and part of the order was missing, despite order being repeated 3 times. Plenty of staff and takeaway very quite. No excuse. I have always promoted the Bell Rock even when ive had the odd average takeaway. Sorry guys but good luck if that’s the best you can do it’s just not good enough.
