Angel Inn - North West Leicestershire

I went to this restaurant with my family and we were very pleased. The food was excellent, the owner was nice, and the atmosphere was friendly. I would definitely visit again.

The chef is excellent even though the menu is small and the menu is written on cheap and flimsy pieces of paper. There is a problem at the moment with what drinks you can actually buy at the pub and this needs addressing pronto. The new pool table just in front of the toilets is a dire mistake. Not in keeping with a rustic village pub, noisy and in the way of people going to the toilets. It looks awful! The complaints about the sticky tables needs addressing but I can state that this is not “years worth of stickiness” as one customer stated but rather the fault of the previous owner who foolishly instructed his staff to anti bac the table and then use furniture polish afterwards whilst still wet from the anti bac spray . Hence the horrible sticky tables. There is no reason why these couldn’t be rubbed and sanded down though to eradicate the problem. Carpet is old fashioned and a kick of paint plus a removal of some of the dated ornaments would work wonders too.

Agree with Unpath’s review. Great food best Sunday roast around, sadly marred by the sticky tables and tired look. However the new owners have put their all into this place and I hope people give this place a chance. In time they intend to do the place up staff are very friendly and hospitable. We will continue to support them just sort out the sticky tables and rip the old carpets out! Well done for trying to make a go of it!

Vastly improved restaurant. The food hete used to be rather basic, and often over-cooked burned). Thrte is now new management and the good is excellent. Unfortunately, there remains one serous issue that makes it less than a 5* experience. The tables are as sticky as a toddler given jam to play with. We watched arable being 'vleaned ' after someone 's meal. A few squirts of some cleaning fluid, a swipe with a cloth, job done. That means the tables are horrible to touch and puts you off a second visit. Perhaps when the tables have been given a good jet each and years of ingrained stickiness has been got out, it might be safe to return...

My sister and I recently dined at the Angel Inn, which is now under new management and chef. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience! The food was freshly prepared and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The restaurant still retains its charming village pub feel, which we enjoyed. While some things have changed, such as the menu, it has definitely been for the better. The service was excellent, and our steaks were cooked to perfection. We are glad that the Angel has new owners and we wish them success. We will be back soon and thank you for a wonderful meal.
