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.

    Fabulous lunch today. Hadn’t been in for a while as it wasn’t getting good feedback. But new management, team, layout and food was amazing. Will definitely be back again. The Angel is back to its excellent quality service.

    Such a lovely friendly place. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. We ate on Christmas Day so was very busy and one small criticism was the table was very small and we felt we were placed in a walk way. The food was very good. Will definitely return.

    A really lovely meal, plenty of it and it was hot. Served with a smile and it was not too expensive. We had to move the date and they were very accommodating. We had a meal there over a year ago and it wasn't very nice. We tried it again as there are new owners and we will most definitely be back.

    A lovely warm welcome from the bar staff, great knowledge of wine when asked a question, restaurant is comfortable and really decorated lovely for Christmas. We were not rushed when placing our orders, and food was delicious. Only couple of things to highlight, we ordered a curry but they had no mango chutney and ordered a dessert that came with coconut ice cream, but the ice cream had not been delivered. We will definitely be returning x

    A new landlady with a lovely personality. There weren't many people eating the weekday evening we went so it lacked atmosphere. There were 4 of us, the food was good but it wasn't consistent across all 4 plates. We would eat here again.

    Atmosphere - nice. Staff - welcoming, friendly, helpful. Food - poor. Pork - no meat, just fat. Cauliflower cheese - all root, no cauliflower. Parsnip - soggy and cold. Yorkshire pudding - soggy and cold. Mushroom frittata - stodgy and cold. Roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage - all cold. Such a shame because it all looked very nice, but what a waste of money! Will we be back? No thank you
