Just had Sunday lunch with 24 others of my family! Great meal, superb service from friendly staff. Will definitely be back to try some other dishes from the menu! Would also like to say a big well done to the kitchen staff who got our meals all prepared at the same time which all looked and tasted great! Could not have been easy with such a large number in one group with many others in to dine. Well done �
A extensive menu. Food lovely. Waiting staff polite and attentive. Only thing is it's very dark. There are lots of lights but maybe dome of the bulbs should be s higher wattage. We will definitely go again.
A great pub for food at a reasonable price. Part of the Vintage Inn chain with the standard menu. Plenty of choice and the ales are exceptional.
In winter the pub can be a little cold so wrap up. being an old building there is not much that can be done to keep out the cold.
A hint..go onto their webpage and join their friends option. They send out, on a regular basis, vouchers for 25% off table bills. Well worth it.
Very nice pub with a long history. The atmosphere is quaint and the desserts are delish. Service was good. Friendly staff.
The Angel is a typical English pub set in the suburbs of Chelmsford. It has a play area for kids and a big beer garden, so is perfect for summer drinks outside. I frequently go there with my Grandmother for a pub lunch and am always very impressed with the service and quality of food. There is always a new specials menu everytime we go, and the pub serves a variety of things, mainly centering on traditional British cusine with occasionally an italian or oriental twist. The salmon fishcakes are well worth trying when theyre on the menu. A good range of wines and drinks and staff are knowledgeable as to which drinks will complement your food.
Excellent service. Maisey treated us so well and looked after us closely. The ambience and good were both comforting. A well-priced menu for the area.
I'm just down a little on this visit, 4/5 stars.
It may be that there are staff pressures, they are certainly looking to recruit staff.
However the Angel seemed a little quiet on our visit.
Attention to detail can reveal more than is apparent, and the personable touch is always appreciated by the customer.
I'm asked to give a table number but after much searching find that many tables don't have numbers displayed; table condiments: salt and pepper: one is missing, the other is near empty, i ask for ketchup, and I'm given a very cold glass bottle 90% empty and does not deliver any of its contents.
So these are small concerns but...
The food was generally good, and patrons can expect a good value pub experience.
I would certainly recommend getting their app which has some generous offers.
I can't comment on food per say as only had nibbles. We were really there for afternoon drinks with friends. They had a good selection of beers wines and spirits. Large garden area to enjoy the sun and all reasonably priced.
I didn't get the bar staff names but both barmaids friendly and swift service.
Today I attended the Easter event as a stall holder. The event was extremely well run by Tracy and this was shown by the amount of families who attended.
The perfect place to advertise my little business and speak to local families. I can't wait to join you for the next one. Thanks again Tracy!
Wonderful caring and highly efficient service by Julie and the team. From the moment you walk into The Angel you are immediately put at ease. The food is excellent. Thank you Julie for the kindness and care you showed after I was anxious about dropping my hubby for treatment at nearby Broomfield Hospital. The Angel is aptly named - Angels work here as well. Thank you.
Visited the angel on Friday with my daughter. Its such a lovely pub with a cosy atmosphere. I have visited lots of times but don't always stay for food. Friday we ate here and the food was lovely. Found out the chef was Rhys. The food was cooked beautifully, piping hot, didn't wait long and a great end to a lovely day. Thank you, will be back before the holidays end :)
Fabulous entertainment from our waiter Stephen . Lots of jokes and fun.
He is an asset. Food was yummy. Lovely atmosphere. A bit gutted you are fully booked for Christmas 🎄
Had lunch with a friend and we were served by Crina, lovely waitress very attentive. Not to mention we had great food at the same time. Highly recommend 😋😋😋
What a really lovely place for something to eat and drink. The staff were so friendly. The place was spotlessly clean and the food was great.
We moved to Chelmsford a year ago and although I’ve been in for a cheeky pint we’ve never been in for a full sit down meal.
With my mum visiting from the north we decided to pop in for a roast before taking baby Foodmunkey to the pirate ship playground around the back.
From the outset we were greeted warmly having the door held open for us to bring the pram in, seated and provided our menus.
The service though was fantastic throughout, even allowing us to order our sons food later on when he woke up.
The trio roast was amazing. I just wish I’d have ordered more pigs in blankets as my wife stole my only one haha!
For the most part the starters were lovely, I’d just have liked the sauce on the prawn cocktail to have a little extra kick, but that’s just my preference.
We will definitely be back though for another roast and just for a general sit down meal!
Or even just a cheeky pint…. Again 😜
