General: The Angel pub/restaurant

a4angel

On Sunday lunchtime we went to The Angel at Woolhampton with Simon and Lil.  It’s easy enough to find as it’s on the A4 !

On arrival at the car park, with boarded up windows and doors, we wondered if it was open !  but as it turned out it was.     Although we had booked a table, it was pretty quiet so were plenty to choose from, both inside and out.   The outside area looked pretty good and also had the function room setup for watching the footy, but we sat in the main restaurant area.  The decor could be described as “rustic” or perhaps “rundown” and had noticed they were advertising for a new chef, so wondered what we had let ourselves in for !

We needn’t have worried, as the food choice on the main menu, bar menu and Sunday roasts gave plenty of choice and were exquisite when they turned up.   The service was a little on the slow side, but wasn’t an issue for us

The tomato soup was fantastic, then the Roast Pork was great… most of us squeezed in a pudding as well, which left us full but wanting to eat more….. couldn’t fault the food at all  (well, other than Lil was a little disappointed she didn’t get a Yorkshire pub with her lamb roast)

The prices reflected the quality of the food, so is not a place to come for a cheap meal but was certainly happy with the choice available, quality and quantity of food.

Well worth a visit if you’re passing and you fancy some posh nosh
