Snack Bar West Links

The West Links Snack Bar sits in the West Links Park — the long seafront park on the Dundee Road west of central Arbroath, which runs from the swimming pool and seafront pitch-and-putt down to the bottom of the Esplanade. The park is the recreation green of the burgh, with the miniature railway, the paddling pool, skate park, FootGolf and adventure-play area all packed onto its side of the road, and the snack-bar hut takes the cafe-counter trade from families spending the day in the park.

The menu sits to the seasonal-seaside-cafe format that the location demands: burgers, hot dogs, chips, ice creams, soft drinks and instant coffee — basic hot food and cold-cabinet snacks rather than a sit-down menu. Trade is seasonal — the hut opens through the spring and summer and on warmer weekend days through the rest of the year, with the trade tracking the park's busy days. Reviews on the West Links Park Tripadvisor page note the snack-bar is occasionally pricey for what it is but is a useful service in a park that's otherwise without a kiosk.

West Links Park itself fronts onto the long west-Arbroath shoreline, between the swimming pool and the suburban streets running up toward the cliffs.
