The Angel is a winner on two levels. First the welcoming country pub where its first come first served and the locals rub shoulders with others in the know and ramblers and bikers alike. A selection of ales and the infamous wine list satisfy thirst. Always a mouth watering, cannot decide because it all sounds so tempting menu and specials board. They have really inventive and exciting veg in their dishes, the meat is top class too. I've never been let down by what I ordered but always wanted to try what everyone else was having. Secondly there is the fine dining restaurant and rooms. It's just bob on with the interesting more-ish food, thoughtful wine list and friendly service that creates a special but not fussy atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic overnight stay, an extra special occasion or just for the ultimate treat. For me it’s probably the best in the north, and there are plenty up here, just because it does both types of dining so well but it’s the wine list that really pushes it that notch above the rest.
