But N' Ben - Carta

Had a wonderful evening at The But n Ben, we were staying locally for a friends birthday, great atmosphere and great food, service and banter were fantastic! Would definitely revisit!

After a walk along the Angus Coast Trail we stopped at this restaurant for a well-deserved meal The food was very tasteful and nice: we had kedgeree, haddock and a full lobster Service was very friendly even though we got there minutes before closing time.

This restaurant is incredibly charming. I had a fantastic meal here, trying the renowned smoked pancake dish, which was absolutely delicious. My friend was very impressed with her crab salad as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it. Ver carta

Having never been to Arbroath and only being up for a night this place really stood out to me so we decided to go. We were NOT disappointed. Smokies and a smokie soup for starters then a huge big platter the entire platter in...my photo and the chips etc was only something like Excellent value and it was entirely delicious. We will be back if we are ever nearby again :

I visited this restaurant on the same day while traveling from Arbroath and was pleasantly surprised by this small place. It had a cozy log fire burning and the staff were very welcoming and happy to find us a table. The food was delicious and all homemade at a reasonable price. It was not just good, it was excellent. I have already recommended it to others as a must-try if they are in the area. I will definitely be returning.

I was taken to the But n Ben for dinner on my birthday recently where the staff were very friendly and great fun. Two of us had haddock and prawns in cheese sauce (extremely cheesy) and one had game pie. All three were very impressed...with our food and the veg was cooked perfectly. Banoffee, however, was a disappointment. Next time (and there will be a next time) I’ll avoid disappointment by having starter and main instead of dessert. Ver carta

We came for my dads birthday, the food was lovely and the service was good. Althoough I did order a chocolate fudge cake and when it arrived it had lots of cherries in it which I obviously didn't know would be in it as it...wasn't mentioned. The bill ended up being an awful lot more than we were expecting. We all try to guess the bill after going out for a meal and we are usually all pretty close, but we were all about off this bill, we did not expect it to be so expensive.

Yesterday, I visited Mother's Day restaurant. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. The menu offers something for everyone, but the restaurant is known for their seafood dishes. I chose the special scallops and my husband chose the grilled salmon. Both dishes were fantastic. My son and mother ordered the fried calamari, which was huge and had a crispy batter. For dessert, I tried the chocolate lava cake with cream. The restaurant was busy but everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend this family-friendly restaurant.

The food was undoubtedly great and most of the staff were lovely. I had the arbroath smokie pancake and it was delicious and completely bone-free. My husband had the fish in oatmeal which was also very tasty. The menu was really interesting and varied with...plenty of fish dishes and local dishes including mince and skirlie and the space itself is lovely and cosy. Our issue was with the passive aggressive way the older waitress/owner drew our attention to the fact that we were breaking her rules because we had left our face masks lying on our table. She physically reached right across us to the far side of our table and said “let me just move this”, moved a vase of flowers to one side and wa... Ver carta
