Rosie was so friendly and knew the menu inside out! She made sure we were all happy, which was perfect for our little catch-up.

The garden room was just lovely for our big group. Kieran and Lola were so on top of everything, really made the evening flow. A nice spot for a special get-together.

The refurb is stunning, love what they&#39;ve done with the space. Always a treat to see Rukia working the floor, she&#39;s so lovely. My cocktail was spot on, and the lamb dish was cooked just right. A really nice spot.

Been coming here for years. The team always remembers you, makes you feel right at home. It&rsquo;s that kind of friendly, low-key vibe that keeps me coming back.

Solid local pub. They&#39;ve got a really nice selection of drinks, which I appreciate. Found a surprisingly good local red that went perfectly with the steak and ale pie. The vibe is spot on for a relaxed evening.

I have been here with parents, children, the kids chums, my mates and a lady or five. This was for my 60th with the eldest, her Man and a lady chum of mine. The waiting staff were effective and courteous the foid was good and got to have a Dad chat this is the first time since my last parent passed a way so a comfortable and warm place. The walk in Dedham was very chilly a lunch to remember.

Cozy little place. Had a couple of their craft beers, solid choices. Spotted a table in the back for board games, which is a nice touch. Just a chill spot for a casual pint.

Been coming here for years, and the live music nights are what keep me coming back. Always a good vibe, feels like a proper local. The prosecco&#39;s spot on too.

The tropical mojito was the standout. Bartender&#39;s suggestion. Really fresh mint, not too sweet, and the rum came through nicely. Just the right balance. That&#39;s what I came for.

The burger menu is huge, which is great. I went for the classic cheeseburger. The patty was cooked just right, juicy and not dry at all. The bun held up well too, didn&#39;t get soggy. Solid choice if you&#39;re just after a good burger.

Good to see this place feeling lively again. The new dart board is a fun addition, had a few casual games while waiting for the food. The fish and chips were solid, classic pub grub done right.

Service was good, got seated quickly. Food came out in a reasonable time. Portions were plentiful and very tasty. A solid, no-fuss evening meal.

The craft beer here is really solid. Had a couple of their IPAs, the hop profile was clean and crisp, not overly bitter. Just a good, straightforward pint. The atmosphere&#39;s fine, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for the beer.

I highly recommend this place for its great food and accommodating service, especially for families with kids and pets.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a proper local pub, always clean and the bar staff are a friendly bunch. The food&#39;s solid, just what you want.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The staff are super friendly and it has that proper local pub vibe. Food came out fast, which is exactly what I needed. Good for a quick bite.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always make you feel like a regular. Drinks are still fairly priced, which keeps me coming back.

Came here with a few mates to catch the game. The beer garden is a decent size, good for a group. Drinks selection was solid, nothing crazy. It&#39;s a proper spot for a chilled afternoon with friends. Could do with a few more screens maybe, but we had a good time.

The ambiance in this restaurant is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Special thanks to Esther for her exceptional service!

Really liked the vibe here. Dark walls, cosy little nooks. The music was just right, not too loud. A nice, quiet spot to enjoy a European beer and unwind for a bit.

I had a fantastic lunch here with my family. The roast potatoes were a highlight, and the service from Jasmine was top-notch. Highly recommend this restaurant!

A brilliant selection of vegetables  for a vegetarian plus the Yorkshire pudding  made a really tasty meal,  extra wonderful with the onions and sweetcorn.                   The  turkey was delicious for the meat eater.

The staff were really friendly. They even brought us cutlery when our takeaway arrived without any, which was a nice touch.

My daughter is a regular customer at The Angel and she recommended the food here is really good, and the atmosphere was chilled and the service was prompt and attentive. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the experience again soon.
