The Angel

Food was fantastic Ambiance on a warm Friday lunchtime was amazing We had the sea bass which was truly a very very good dish

I grew up in Watlington, having left very many years ago, for one reason and another we decided to return to the village to have our son baptised at the local church. Looking for somewhere to hold a lunch for over 30 of our closest friends and family from all over the country and overseas, I was a little hesitant to check out the Angel, but to have gone anywhere else would have been a terrible mistake! Having seen the great reviews and awards on the Angel website I made contact some months before the event. The whole thing was arranged remotely through contact with Emily, the owner she could not have made things easier, spelling out the options, making recommendations for a local company that could supply me a celebration cake and basically making my every request a reality without any issue at all. For event planning, she is one of the best I have worked with and gave me tremendous peace of mind. On the day everything was seamless and the food was excellent, 31 roast dinners, including vegetarian and vegan options came out within moments of each other, no one was waiting and we all sat down together to generous sized dinners, the same with drinks for a toast. The staff dealt with everything almost invisibly and all our guests bar none commented on how good their meals had been. We took over the middle room of the restaurant for the whole afternoon, and had time and space to socialise after dinner. It really was everything we could have hoped for our special day. Massive thanks to Emily and her team (I'm ashamed it's taken so long to get to writing this review, but I was determined to do it)!

Well no surprise here, but another amazing night at the angel! 10 year wedding anniversary with Jeremy, child free, and a constant flow of pimms! We shared a charcuterie for starters, the meats absolutely beautiful! For mains I had the dressed crab, and the hubby had a fillet steak. Both extremely happy with our mains, his steak cooked to perfection, and my crab was just perfect! Shared a Bakewell tart for pud, then finished our night off watching the footy in the side bar area! As always, thank you to all the staff, everybody was so lovely and brilliant, the food was 10/10, we look forward to seeing you soon!

The food was lovely BUT we arrived for a 7 pm meal didn't even get the menus until nearly 8 o'clock! After complaining, we were seated in the dining room finally ordered our food. Lots of bread later we eventually received our food at 5 to 9! Not my idea of good service.

Expectation was more than met for our first visit. Warmly welcomed and shown to our table. Generously sized with comfortable dining chairs. Tables are well spaced out. Room is modern in decor and clearly recently renovated with a touch of flair. Food was lovely, nicely presented and cooked to perfection. Obvious talent in the kitchen. Menu has great choice. We ate mains and delicious puds. Loos were exemplary in fittings and hygiene. Easy parking to side and rear. Several dog guests besides ours accepted without fuss. Thank you. We shall return soon.
