Coffee Shops
Morning flat whites, afternoon scones and the West Port's loose-leaf tearooms. Where Arbroath catches up.
From harbour-side haddock suppers to oat-milk cortados on the West Port — Arbroath Eats is the town's own food directory, and the studio that helps its kitchens grow.

Fish & Chips
Haddock landed on this coast, fried golden, eaten on the harbour wall. It's the law. (It isn't. It should be.)
03 / 050 listed
Restaurants
Quayside seafood, Greek bistros, Thai kitchens and blistered Neapolitan crusts — sit-down Arbroath at its best.
04 / 050 listed
Bakeries
Bridies, pies, butteries and traybakes. Get there early — the good stuff has a habit of selling out by ten.
05 / 050 listed
Vegan & Veggie
Plant-forward plates from kitchens that take them seriously — from mezze to massaman, nobody's left with a side salad.

Kitchens we've helped glow.
Brand, photography, listings and 5% VAT-included food ordering for independent kitchens across DD11. A few favourites from the studio.
Case 01Harbour · DD11 1
The Lantern Fish Bar
Supper, sorted.
A third-generation fish bar losing a third of every delivery order to marketplace commission. We rebuilt their brand around the harbour lamp they've fried under since 1961, then moved their regulars onto their own Bizzy Apps Pro ordering app.

Saltwork Bakehouse
Bridies before nine.
A dawn-start bakery selling out by mid-morning and turning people away. We shot the ovens at 5am, launched a pre-order slot for the early shift, and gave the shop a hand-lettered identity worthy of its pastry.

Kittiwake Coffee Co.
A side street, found.
Brilliant coffee, invisible location. A featured Index placement, a seabird-inspired identity and a click-and-collect web app put Kittiwake on the morning route of half the town's commuters.

Greenroom Kitchen
Plants, proudly.
An all-vegan kitchen in a town famous for smoked haddock. Rather than whisper it, we shouted: a bold campaign, a seasonal menu shoot and a Veggie-of-the-Month slot on Arbroath Eats.

06 — Our approach
We believe a town is only as good as its tables. Arbroath has fed fishermen, monks and summer crowds for eight centuries — from the smokehouses of the Fit o' the Toon to the bakers of Keptie Street. We don't rank by who shouts loudest. We list the places worth crossing town for, then help them stay that way.
“It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom alone.” Declaration of Arbroath, 1320 — we feel much the same about a proper fish supper
Local, or not at all.
Every listing carries a DD11 postcode. No Dundee overspill, no padding from up the coast — Arbroath, properly.
Taste before traffic.
Inclusion is earned at the table. Featured spots are clearly marked and never decide who makes the Index.
Fair to the kitchen.
We champion tools that keep money in Arbroath tills — five percent, not thirty.

07 — Kind words
We used to hand a third of every Friday supper to a delivery app. Now the orders come straight to us, and the customers know our name.
They photographed our bridies at five in the morning, steam and all. The pre-order slot was full within a fortnight.
Being on Arbroath Eats feels like being recommended by a neighbour — not ranked by an algorithm.
Straight answers, local faces and an app our regulars actually use. That's rarer than it should be.
