“Outstanding, as always”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

The Angel is remarkably consistent; seriously good food served without pretension in a lovely atmosphere. I always feel relaxed and at peace with the world after eating here.

On this occasion, we had not managed to book a table and were advised that we would need to wait at the bar until one became free; in fact it was only a few minutes. Whilst waiting, I had a glass of house champagne and my husband had a Guinness (complete with shamrock on its head!)

I started with Little Money Bags "a treasure of seafood." Filo pastry, really good seafood within and served in a puddle of lobster sauce. Delicious. My main course was from the blackboard where there is always a great selection of interesting fish dishes; this time I had seabass which was lovely - crisp skin, well seasoned, soft succulent inside. Very attractive presentation.

We then ordered puddings and were waiting for these to arrive. One of the waiters came over and asked, very nicely, if we would very much mind moving to a different table. The 2 of us were at a table for 4 and a family with hungry children had arrived. There was a table for 2 nearby. Could we possibly move to that? Absolutely no problem, we said, and moved there for our puddings. Whilst we were eating these, the head waiter came over and apologised for moving us, thanked us for doing so (no problem at all, we said) and asked if we would like a complimentary glass of wine or coffee? Very kind and quite unnecessary; in fact we had coffee which arrived with chocolates and was lovely.

In due course we went to pay the bill. I think the barman noticed that I had had champagne and asked if our dinner was a celebration - it was, of sorts - it had been something to look forward to after an unpleasant experience that had to be got through. He then produced 2 boxes of chocolate truffles for us to take away 'with our compliments'.

It is this sort of attention to detail that permeates right through the Angel - they notice, they care, it shows.

“Credit where credit is due....”

Too many years have passed since I last dined at the Angel Inn and it was a pleasant experience to find the product still retains it's 'special' feel. My partner and I stayed in the Garden Suite and celebrated her birthday in the main restaurant.

The room was very welcoming and comfortable but it was the little touches that make a big difference. Fresh biscuits, well-priced and nicely stocked honesty bar, bottles of good spirit priced by the shot, ice bucket already filled on arrival, canapés delivered to the room, robes and slippers, fresh milk in the fridge, somewhere outside the room for smokers to put out their cigs, a very plump, comfortable bed and with the sub-zero snow outside, the under floor heating was perfect.

Although the weather and the mid week lull meant much lower than normal visitor numbers, the service did not miss a beat. Friendly and chatty without over-familiarity. In fact, it was a nice touch that we were discretely informed that we would be the only remaining guests planning to dine in the main restaurant that night. As some people may find that maybe a little uncomfortable, giving the guests the choice to dine in the busier bar was thoughtful.

We stuck with our original booking and enjoyed the excellent main restaurant menu and were very impressed with the quality and value of the in-house champagnes.

Overall, we are seriously considering the Angel Inn for our forthcoming wedding....

High praise indeed?!?

“Lunch 18.01.2012”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I took my husband here for a birthday lunch. We have dined in both the bar and the restaurant before and enjoyed it.
Today the food was as good as ever but the service was very slow, indeed it appeared that we had been forgotten. At least two groups arriving after us had their orders taken before my husband eventually attracted the attention of the waitress who then took our order. Even then we waited a considerable time before our starters appeared. We were given no explanation for the delay.

“A great escape...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

A perfect escape from the stress of the city, bursting with country charm.

The welcome of a cosy fire, friendly banter around the bar and chilled champagne set the mood for a wonderful weekend. Simon and his team were engaging and attentive without intruding and could not have taken better care of us.

A magical weekend, thank you.
