Smithies is a lovely family run deli, the style is very retro with tiles dating back to the start of the 20th century, when the shop was a Lipton's. All the original thistle and shamrock tiles are still there. The shop then went on around 1950 to become d

We went here for lunch on a Saturday with my mum who lives about 15 miles away. We enjoyed a soup, sandwich and toasties, which were all tasty. We also bought a couple of brownies and some chocolate cake to take-away, which were also very good when we had them later in the day.Whilst the food was good and I would go back again if passing by, I probably wouldn't make a point of rushing back to the cafe as a destination.The cafe lacks a bit of 'kerb appeal' in comparison with other cafes / farmshops we've been to, both locally and farther afield. Inside, the interior had a couple of nice full length wall 'murals' but otherwise felt more basic than rustic.We also felt the service could have been a few notches sharper, even allowing for the fact it was a busy lunchtime with few tables empty for more than a few minutes. Our waitress was very pleasant but tables were often left with finished plates for quite a while, she wasn't able to help with a question about the difference of the two cheeses on the menu (and repeated the answer to another diner about 10 unites after we'd asked) and paying at the till seemed to take quite a while. There were plenty of people milling around but it didn't quite seem as orchestrated as it could have been to make things more slick.If you're after a soup, sandwich or toastie, or cakes, there's plenty to choose from, but the menu is more limited for meals, which are listed on a board rather than on the permanent menu. I can understand the reasoning behind this, but it doesn't come across quite as well in my opinion.Finally, we were around £31 for our lunch (three plates, two drinks and a tap water), which I felt was a little expensive given the overall experience.As I say, the food was good, which I suppose is the main thing you look for, but it was a shame other factors weren't up to the same level.Sorry you were so dissapointed with your visit, the bill would have included the cakes you bought too?? The boards as changed daily as we feel printing new menus daily is a waste of paper. The decor is simple and easily maintained and the staff are cheery and happy to help with whatever you ask of them

My wife and I were looking for Arbroath Smokie on a Sunday. Locals we chatted with all recommended The Old Brewhouse, so we headed that way. The service was wonderful and the food divine. The smokies were brilliant and we also ordered the Clootie Dumpling, which is made in house. If you are in Arbroath do yourself a favour and head in for a meal.

Tried this hidden gem for lunch on a miserable Saturday. What a lovely place, bright, clean and very welcoming. We went for the soup of the day (parsnip and apple) with a sandwich and coffee and cake to follow. Soup was super hot, as it should be, and delicious. Coffee was also hot, so many places serve it barely warm! Can't fault anything about the place, the food or the service. All 5 star. Will definitely be back soon.

2. Gordon's Restaurant with Rooms

We visited Gordon's Restaurant and Hotel in 2014 and gave it a five-star review then and we are very pleased to be able to do the same five years' later. The cooking is sublime, incredibly good value (certainly compared to London prices), and the service is friendly and timely. Each course was perfect in quality, quantity and execution (although a little bit more carrot puree with the lamb might not have gone wrong!).We stayed in the Thistle room, and although Gordon's is really about the food, the room was very well decorated, comfortable and had plenty of space. Better WiFi would have been appreciated but the weather was appalling which might have resulted in poorer service than normal.All in all, thoroughly recommended and restored my faith in the term "fine dining".
