Management Partner Laura, says, “I’m so excited to welcome guests to The Angel, welcoming people in and seeing them leaving happy has always been my favourite part of running a pub and The Angel is not going to disappoint – every aspect of it has been finished beautifully. I’m particularly delighted with the menu and cannot wait for the beautiful new garden to be enjoyed as we head into Spring.”

Senior Operations Manager Sarah Edmunds says, “We are so proud to be reopening The Angel and unveiling its beautiful new look.
