We were lucky enough to be accommodated in the garden suite. What a lovely room with access to a garden terrace (although it was cold and too wet to sit out - cant blame the hotel for that). Everything about the room said quality. We had our evening meal in the restaurant and couldn't fault anything about it. An excellent... More

The Angel Inn is truly a wonderful place. A 'real' pub serving magnificent food both in the bar and in the more formal dining room. Local ingredients come to the fore and a large choice of fresh fish is offered on a daily basis. The 'Angel Parcel' is a triumph, wonderful flavours and a delicious lobster sauce - well worth...

We ate at The Angel on a Saturday lunchtime. We rang to reserve a table and were told we could not book to eat in the bar area but we assured a table would be found for us on arrival. We were seated in a very pleasant room just off from the main bar. The menu was extensive and interesting... More

We arrived slightly early for a celebration meal, were greeted warmly and shown to our table in the restaurant. It was Saturday night, the restaurant was busy and the service lacked a little direction. We were not asked if we like an aperitif and had to ask for one, then a second waitress came to take our order, after we... More

Having worked in the entertainment business and then the Wine Trade I have been lucky enough to tour the globe in the last 30 years and have to say from the outset that the accommodation at the Angel ranks amongst the finest all round experience I have enjoyed. I have lunched in the bar here several times but as a... More

I had read about the Angel in Hetton in the first Gastropub cookbook so was looking forward to some great food but it was a huge disappointment. The restaurant was shut (Sunday pm) so we ate in the Brasserie, the food was very mediocre and the service was appalling - we were given a specials list that wasn't available on... More

Having just recovered from a nasty bug, our trip to the Angel was a pleasure. We were first in the bar and received a warm welcome. We decided on the set menu and were happy to sit by the bar. Warm bread arrived followed by wild garlic and potato soup, recommended by the barman. Excellent. Main courses were great too.... More

We stayed at the Inn and ate at the bar/brasserie. Both were fantastic! The staff were very pleasant and attentive and made our stay very comfortable. The food was of a high standard and the choice was very good. The complimentary amuse bouche was a surprise and very tasty. The wine selection was also a surprise. The hotel room was... More

I ate with my old mother, young son, wife and sister in the Bar on Sunday. The menu accommodated/ suited all and the food was fabulous. Even the wine tasted better than your average. My sister was late and we were not rushed at all to order, although consequently we did have to wait a while between courses, but so... More
