    I’ve been going to this gastropub for years but it’s now gone sharply downhill. Main problem; many things on the limited menu were not available. Waiter casually told us that AFTER we’d made our choice, not when we were given the menus. Offered us puddings, then when we replied with our order, told us they’d ONLY got sticky toffee! WTF?!? My main was the chicken pie, which was ok but not great, the mash was solid and gluey and the cabbage minuscule. Couldn’t even make up for it with an apple crumble - not available, of course. Never again. Big shame.

    I can Highly recommend The Angel Oak as a place to eat. The roast we had on Sunday was excellent, Although the pub was very busy the food was on point. The waiting staff were friendly and didn't rush us. The management even swapped our table as I took my 85yr old mum and she couldn't manage the tall table that we were originally give. Top marks all round. Well done.

    Very nice New Years lunch. Staff were friendly and food was very good with large portions. There was a nice buzz with people talking but not too crowded or overpowering music. Our dog could come too! This is the fourth time we have visited Angel Oak and it is always consistently good. We will come again.

    Very cozy pub with a good beer selection, including some rotating taps. Sunday roast is excellent, while the food during the week is pretty good too. All our plates were pretty tasty, except for the mac & cheese croquettes, which lacked flavor. We visit a couple times a month as it's also pet friendly, with enough space for large dogs.

    Would have loved to be served at our table. Grateful we arrived late you and you could still feed us. Good friendly staff. Bit too much gravy for me - I couldn’t identify the veg. Chicken well cooked. 2800 cals for a roast didn’t put me off

    The Angel OakResponded on November 24, 2022Hi George, We do try and do as much table service as possible on a Sunday, however if the restaurant is full and you are sat in the bar area we try to keep it casual. We hope to see you another time soon. Team Angel Oak

    Booked a table for standard dinning and was given a seat in the bar area, where we waiting for ages to be served, only to be told we had to go to the bar. Which we didn't realise as we had booked to eat in the restaurant area. Booking was at 5:30, eventually ate at 7.00pm. Food was okay, not sure I would go again as the whole experience was disappointing.

    The Angel OakResponded on October 7, 2022Hi Emma, Sorry that you experience wasn’t as expected. We had a lot of bookings that day, and the table assignments are requests and the computer works them out on a first come first served basis for the restaurant… I’m sorry no one informed you that it was order at the bar that is our fault. We do hope you give us another go. Team angel oak

    Not impressed with our visit. I used to go to this pub very often before moving out of the area. As I was organising a social event for a group of 10 people I didn't know, I thought I'd pick a place I knew quite well. Unfortunately it was the wrong choice. We arrived and the table reserved for us would fit about 6 people so as soon as everyone started to arrive to attend the event, we had to ask the waiter to move us although the pub was very busy being a Saturday and could not fit us on a bigger table. (They had had our reservation at least two weeks before) We were then divided onto two tables which didn't really make any sense as it was a social event that included 10 people. Food turned up at all different times and we had to wait about 45 min for an ice cream scoop for my daughter. The club sandwiches had no avocado (although nothing was mentioned). Glasses stained and dirty. Staff stressed and rude, they made us feel so unwelcome. Overall not happy at all, would defo not go back anytime soon.

    The garden on a sunny day is great, however we both ordered the vegan burger and were told sheepishly about 10 minutes later that they didn’t have any as the chef forgot to order them as he thought they had loads. They didn’t have the vegan sharer either which only left Caesar salad as vegan options go, so we just had chips, which were mediocre. The kind that feel a bit like underdone potato. Otherwise drinks and staff were good - I think/hope we were just unlucky.

    The Angel OakResponded on July 1, 2022Hi, I'm sorry that we didn't have enough of what you wanted in stock, we do now have more vegan and vegetarian options on the menu for you to try when you (hopefully!!) give us another shot. Team Angel Oak
