The Angel has lost it's proper pub feel as it has become a numbers establishment. Food is ok but nothing special. Portion sizes have reduced and it really isn't giving value for money now.

This is a nice place to go for lunch. The staff are really very nice as is the food. Its well cooked and good value for money. The pub is pretty - I've never eaten outside though. I like coming here. Its a cross between a pub and a restaurant and somewhere where you can feel comfortable

We visited at about 1pm on bank holiday Monday 6th May. The weather was gorgeous and the Garden at the Angel seemed to be a lovely place to have a spot of lunch. My brother, his wife ordered a meal, my mother ordered a meal and myself and my husband ordered a meal (the same as what my brother and... More

Fairly typical Hall and Woodhouse pub with a fairly standard menu, the prices are a little high, the portions a little small and the quality of the food only average. Both of our meals were only lukewarm. Both the bar and beer garden are attractive and welcoming.

This pub seems to have changed from a cheap chain pub, into somewhere very lovely to eat. I've had a platter and a chicken pie in recent weeks and they have both been superb. Prices are on the high-ish side, but I think we'll worth it

The place is nicely decorated, and the service was good. the portion size was excellent and very tasty. Based on this we decided to go back for dinner and as a foursome a couple of weeks later.

I popped in with a friend for a bit of an ad hoc lunch, it was the nearest place to us at the time and have had nice food there before. I had a lasagne which was really tasty, although could have been slightly bigger. The staff were lovely and friendly and happy to help us. The food came out... More

It is a while since we have visited the Angel Inn. We called in for lunch today (Friday). It was good to see that the restaurant was quite busy which added to the good atmosphere of the place. The staff were all pleasant and appeared well trained, so the service was excellent, not rushed or too slow, bearing in mind... More
