The Angel

Once again not disappointed love this place and will do for many more years to come food was amazing no outstanding me and my family were more then happy service was amazing so polite and welcoming I can’t wait to come back for my birthday meal here be back again soon.

The food was decent, but the prices were high for what was offered and the atmosphere was lacking. The service did not meet expectations. Overall, it was okay, but the quality and portion sizes did not justify the high cost.

The food was great, I say that upfront because that is by far the best about this place. Don't get me wrong, there are other good things, the staff are attentive and nice, the beer is also good… But the food… The food is why you would go there if you weren't local. we got there at 6 PM and it took quite a while to get the food to us (although I have to say, I was glad I waited when it finally arrived as it was excellent). the pub itself is in need of a bit of TLC, the tables in the restaurant were a little sticky and it's a strange little old building that's had extension after extension over the years. But as I said, you go there for the food, if you can afford it, I would recommend it. If I'm in the area again, I'm definitely going back.

Although pricey, the food was very good, so no complaints about that. The man serving us was pleasant and welcoming. My only complaint is with the beer. I asked for a pint of whatever they had on the two handpumps and was given a vile pint that tasted like vinegar. It was changed for a pint from the other beer on the other pump without any fuss, but to have given me the first pint at all was inexcusable. Beer doesn 't go 'off ' just like that. The beer I was given was way past its best. It must have been sitting there festering for a long time to get in the condition it was. For me, the number one thing I am looking for in a pub is good beer from the handpump. I was disappointed with the Angel, even though the food was nice.

Our first visit to The Angel was a delightful experience. The Pearl Barley and Wild Mushroom Risotto was delicious, although my husband suggested that a touch of truffle oil and Parmesan shavings would elevate it further. His Cumberland sausages, black pudding, and bacon with mash were perfect, and my Lemon Sole with mash, butter sauce, asparagus, and samphire was amazing! The chef kindly accommodated my shellfish allergy by swapping the scallops and king prawns for extra vegetables and mash, which I greatly appreciated. The locally made ice cream for dessert was superb, and my cherry and chocolate soufflé, though not perfectly risen, was full of flavor. The service was friendly and efficient, with our waitress being particularly knowledgeable about the menu. The portions were generous, and we left as very satisfied diners. The only downside was the lack of lighting in the car park, which almost led to an accident. We recommend The Angel and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you.
