The Angel is a rejuvenated, historical pub nestled in the quaint village of Kelvedon, on the suburbs of Essex. With rustic country charm through the interiors, there are plenty of cosy or lively spots to sit back and enjoy alongside great company. Situated on the doorstep of the high street, The Angel is perfectly located for both locals and passing city goers. This Colchester treasure provides the neighbourhood with a hub of friendly faces and warm welcomes. With direct links to London's Liverpool Street Station, it's a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

    Arrived slightly earlier than booking time Greeted and seated promptly and drinks ordered and recieved in very good time. Menus were on the table we were given ample time to make our choices and have a conversation. When the food arrived it was hot and we all enjoyed our choices. Good time lapse between courses. Very enjoyable thank you.

    Unfortunately due to a gas problem in the kitchen we had to wait at least 90minutes for our main courses. This was a special family birthday lunch, so was very disappointing. When the food arrived it is ok but not great. The manager did offer us desserts on the house which was the least they could do. The ambience was not very good. I don't think we will be back.
