Unfortunately our experience wasn’t great, maybe this wasn’t on the staff but I’m going to rate based on my overall experience. We as a couple had Sunday lunch in one of their rooms that was empty except for one other family - so there was no atmosphere to enjoy. And this family chose to have their kids watching peppa pig at full volume. And were very loud in general as though they were enjoying themselves at home vs in public. The staff said they couldn’t move us. The food was ok, not amazing, but we just had to eat as fast as we could and leave.

Beautiful pub, we were seated in front of a roaring log fire which kept the room so warm on a cold February eve. Food was beautifully presented, lots of options to choose from on the menu. Only disappointment was that they had ran out of the cheesecake and we weren't notified of this when choosing our desserts. Lovely staff who were welcoming and friendly and a good choice of wines. Definitely a special occasion placed to dine as it isn't cheap, we also loved there was no music being played in the pub. Instead it was the crackle of the fire and people chatting in the background which made a lovely atmosphere.

Don’t waste your money - rude staff who don’t care if you have a terrible visit. The room was FREEZING despite asking for a extra heater the noisy little floor fan just dried out the air and took the worst chill off but it was bone chillingly cold. And considering this was a birthday / anniversary gift it wasn't much fun sleeping with our jumpers, socks n hats on!! It’s an old building and thick walls so not sure why it was absolutely freezing possible it was unused for several days and had got ‘cold cold’…. Mattress was very very firm so not comfortable at all :( . The room was a lot smaller than photos suggested I think they used a wide lens in adverts. There was no tv which we didn’t notice untill we were laying in bed at 3am unable to sleep. There was no spare blankets :( Headboard loose so rattled everytime we turned over....truly an utterly miserable night! Breakfast was below average. Poached eggs slightly undercooked so snotty, mushrooms undercooked and a bit cold. Tea was in a pot so we both got one cup drunk before it stewed so much it was undrinkable. Over all a very disappointing night exacerbated by tiredness from the cold room, not the cosy romantic night we have hoped for. I think they spend a lot of time making it LOOK nice and not much time actually making sure it IS nice. I have NEVER been in such a cold hotel before. TBH we would not have said anything BUT…when I was at checkout and I was asked if I had a nice stay I said quietly ‘’tbh we were freezing and didn’t sleep well’ and I could not believe the immediate sarcastic eye roll !! as if to say ‘’oh here we go’ and the woman immediately went on the defensive. I was shocked. And very annoyed. I never asked for any money off nor a discount I just wanted to let them know it was miserable cold night for us, however because of the immediate unprofessional reaction from that woman I don’t care who knows how rubbish it was. So here we are now. Letting everyone know because she couldn’t keep her bad mood to herself and be more professional. Be warned that looking pretty doesn't always mean anything. And at £130 I feel ripped off. Discounted off £185 BTW... avoid.

Food was out of this world, proper flavoursome and great quality. We got the angel board and as two people who are not fans of soup, it was the best part along with the house made bread. Honestly couldn’t fault it and the pork belly was amazing. Really worth stopping and having a bite. My only minor criticism is that service was a little slow but when you got served, the guys were friendly and attentive.

Spent the afternoon wandering around Lacock on a glorious day. We have eaten at the Sign of the Angel pre covid during the winter months a d love the atmosphere and good.On looking as we passed by we noticed they were serving afternoon tea in the garden so tried our luck getting a table. What a wonderful experience, lovely setting and friendly and welcoming staff, went out of her way to get us a table. We enjoyed a lovely fun, vibrant and relaxing atmosphere with a great afternoon tea. We opted to have one savoury and one sweet to get the benefit of both the tasty cheese scones and the lovely fruity ones! It was busy but well managed and friendly service with a smile. We will be back to try dinner there soon.Great effort from the team and good to return there.

We were disappointed by our visit today. The food seems to have downhill and the service was inattentive and chaotic. There didn’t seem to be enough waiting staff working or else they just don’t work as a team. Hopefully it’s just teething problems after being shut for a while but our experience will put us off returning as it’s not cheap. The location and beer garden are lovely though.

We had such a lovely lunch and afternoon here on Saturday. Seated by a roaring fire, beautiful Christmas decorations, stunning building and really friendly and helpful staff. We have a toddler- we were brought a high chair without asking, they served him very quickly and couldn’t do enough to make our afternoon lovely. And the food was delicious. We had venison burgers and ‘Angel boards’ which had incredible mushroom soup, fresh warm bread and three English tapas style items which you can choose from a selection. All very much enjoyed. Thank you!

Every few years my wife and I return to Lacock and we have been doing so since 1969, often eating or staying at the C15 'The Sign of the Angel'. We were met at today's lunch by a roaring fire and a friendly welcome. All food in our 3-course set lunch was of outstanding quality including rabbit terrine also celeriac and apple soup starters followed by delicious salmon accompanied by samphire and a lobster sauce. Pudding was a light ginger sponge with salted caramel sauce and pear ice cream. All excellent and reasonably priced.

Visited during the “eat out, help out”. Setting was lovely and they had obviously taken measures to space people out. The food was “ok”, not “outstanding” or if I’m honest “good”. Price of the food was ridiculously expensive against the quality of what came. Much more expensive than their menu on the website. I would suspect they had increased their prices to make the most of the “eat out,help out” Overall disappointed as we had heard such good things from a while ago.

Not impressed unfortunately I found the whole experience lack lustre. From all the reviews I read I imagined the experience to be one to remember but just wished I hadn’t bothered if I’m honest. I know times are difficult at the moment but completely soul-less atmosphere no background music you could hear a pin drop everyone whispering. I was positioned next to a roasting fire and was not only melting but came away smelling of awful fire smoke in my hair and clothing. I did ask to move but was flatly refused because of covid rules.The food being just mediocre we therefore decided not to waste any more money on desserts.

Although having lived in Bradford on Avon for over 30 years, we had never visited the Sign of the Angel until today. We have seriously missed out. We were there to celebrate my birthday and every attention was paid to the current Covid situation, with tables well spaced and the usual sanitizers in place, with a lovely log fire in the background. We had a lovely guy looking after us - sadly, I didn’t get his name, but he supports Arsenal! Nothing was too much trouble for him. Our food was amazing - the standouts being the Chilli Prawn starter and the Belly Pork main course. We shall most definitely return and cannot recommend The Sign of the Angel highly enough. Bravo!

Lovely two nights spent in this wonderful old building. The meal on the first night was outstanding: the food sublime, the portions large and the young lad who served us was excellent. The following morning’s breakfast was excellent! The second evening’s meal, although good, was not as good as the previous night. I had the same main course and it certainly wasn’t as plentiful. That said, I still enjoyed it. The bedroom we had was nice but would have benefited enormously from two comfy lounging chairs rather than the two rather austere upright, armless chairs that were in the room. The bath was super: long, deep and hot! Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable break!

After arriving in Lacock at about 10am we found everywhere to be closed even the Bakery was closed at 10.30 am! so embarked on a walk around the village and via local footpaths on returning had coffee at the only very rundown cafe. We visited the Abbey and then wanted some lunch and happened upon this Public House 'The Sign of the Angel' and what a warm and friendly welcome we had even though the main restaurant was full the waitress offered a table in their Breakfast Room which we gladly accepted. We had the Fish triple fried Chips puree of Peas and a Caper sauce to die for. The portion was a sensible and perfect size all I can say is fabulous.

For various reasons we haven't eaten here for some time but with friends visiting and who fondly remembered the last time we took them to the Angel we booked again for dinner. I had booked a table for the 4 of us and whilst I parked the car (it was a very wet evening) my wife and 2 friends entered to be told that we had a booked a table for only 2! Anyway there was an empty table for 4 -the only one spare so quite a coincidence. Despite our wet coats there was no offer to hang these so they remained behind our chairs. Our drinks order was promptly taken by a very pleasant waiter and quickly arrived. Our food order was then taken - my friend and I ordering soup but our wives decided not to have starters. Eventually the soup arrived and it was delicious but it should have been accompanied by "house baked bread" but this did not appear. I asked a different waiter about the bread and he said that this would be extra but when I pointed out that it was part of the soup course he promised to ask the chef. Much later with our soup eaten the "house baked bread " appeared. There was one plate with a small piece of flavoured bread and another plate with a thin slice of white commercial looking bread. Both accompanied by rock hard butter. We did eat the flavoured bread but certainly not the sliced white!Time went on and we were then given what appeared to be a lamb based roll with mint jus - very tasty but why 3 plates for 4 people?After nearly an hour the main courses arrived - in fairness 3 were fine but the other lacked substance and flavour.During this long wait for our mains a man in a pink shirt (the manager?) was walking around but made no effort to ask about our experience. With only about 8 tables in the restaurant it couldn't have been that much of a challenge!We avoided any puddings as, from our experience with the wait for our mains, we were afraid we might be breaching the 10 pm deadline after arriving at 7.30 so had a quick coffee and left.This is quite an expensive restaurant; it has so much potential given its character but the service is mixed and this must be the responsibility of the management.Don't think we will return - such a shame......

A Medieval stone fireplace and timber beams created a great atmosphere in which we were seated with plenty of space between tables and good ventilation. I chose their signature salad dish with English charcuterie and raspberry vinagrette. We could not resist the strawberry cheesecake with walnuts and homemade mint ice cream.

I booked a table to celebrate a special birthday a couple of weeks in advance, just to be sure I could definitely secure a spot. We travelled an hour to get to the restaurant on my birthday, and Sign of The Angel had no record of my booking and told me they were fully booked. I explained that we had travelled an hour and it was a special birthday and they reluctantly agreed to accommodate us in the garden.We were given a free bottle of champagne (it was my birthday and I don't actually drink alcohol, but the rest of the table appreciated this) and a starter to share. The food was also delicious when it eventually arrived. That being said, unfortunately this did basically ruin a special milestone birthday for me. It was cold and dark in the garden and although we tried to make the best of it, it really wasn't a great experience overall. A bottle of champagne and a starter did not make up for this when our bill came to over £200 and a 12.5% service charge was automatically added, which was laughable but I didn't have the energy to dispute this by the end of the night.Such a shame as we were all so looking forward to this celebratory meal that we had gone to some effort to make. I felt more could have been done to rectify the situation too - inadequate lighting in the garden and no blankets offered did not help, along with aforementioned 12.5% service charge added and slow service; at one point we felt forgotten about, sat on our own in the pitch black garden.Not good enough Sign of The Angel.

We went out for a family meal and although the food was nice, the portions were small and expensive, even with the government’s subsidy. Only realised after we had left that the sweet was missing the cream. The dessert was minuscule as it was and overpriced. Service was ok, but slow, and when the bill came, had to correct them on it. Not as relaxing as I had hoped, I’m afraid.

Have been eating at The Angel every so often for 20 years now and must say that for the last 2 or 3 visits there has been a drop in standards. My wife and I had dinner recently and Im sad to say that things have not improved. The welcome was fine and our orders taken but after about 20 minutes were informed that our choice of starters were not available. Apparently the scallops were not uo to standard. We chose another starter and were served promptly. Things went downhill further and waited a long time till receiving our main course, a total of 90 mins from arriving. Then, the young waiter asked if we would like knives and forks!!!My wife should have had dauphinois potatoes but got one small potato, the portions were small and the chard was uncooked.Shame, we used to love going to The Angel when visiting Lacock but wont return, the food nor the service justify the prices.

My chef friends and I were visiting Lacock this weekend and delighted to find that there was a table available at this atmospheric restaurant with its appealing menu. Unfortunately, our impressions changed almost from the moment after we were guided to our seats.The servers are based in another room to where any of the diners are and, when they did come into our section, it was to bring something to another table and then leave immediately without making eye contact or asking if we needed anything. When my friend eventually got up to find someone and ask if we could order, she was told the server wasn't looking after our table but the 'male" server was. What must have been the male server did come bustling through the room once, but avoided any contact with us. After another wait, a sweet young lady came over to take our order and our hopes for a great meal went up again. When it came came after another not insubstantial wait for a cold prawn dish, it was perfectly press pleasant but in no way memorable. Another long wait and we were presented with our mains. Once I'd gone over to request the additional cutlery we needed, my flat iron stake was certainly tasty and cooked the way I requested, but the sides looked and tasted reheated and definitely lacked seasoning. My chef friend had to get a server to find out if she could get the rest of the onion bhaji burger fillers mentioned on the menu but not in evidence on her plate. These came pretty swiftly but the sauce was too watery to put into the burger. She managed to get halfway through but wasn't really enjoying it so then gave up. Being a professional chef, she obviously has high standards that weren't met in this case.I'd been planning on getting an enticing-sounding white chocolate fondant but decided it wouldn't be worth the wait as, even with the 'male server' and another very pleasant lady coming in and out to help other tables, our now discarded mains plates were firmly left untouched on our table with no-one enquiring if we wanted a dessert menu or the bill. After a good 15+ minutes of hopefully waiting to get noticed and trying to attract a server's attention, my friend once again got up to ask if we had to pay at the server station, or if they came to our table. She was told they would come and, after a while, our make server brought the bill slip but had to go back for the card machine. By this stage we really wanted and needed to get out of there so when he disinterestedly asked after our meal, we did the British thing of muttering it had been fine and skedaddled out of there.Very disappointed in a place that has great promise and seemed to have enough staff for the numbers of tables we could see.

The sun was beating down but the four of us were in idyllic cool under the shade of specimen trees, with the shallow river trinkling merrily alongside us. Ice-cold drinks were promptly delivered by the friendly and efficient staff as we picked our choices from the set daily menu and waited for the food. Ah, the food! Our starters were both imaginative and beautifully presented - absolutely top marks there to the chefs. The theme continued with main courses while the third-course cheese board was a paragon of its breed. The wine list was comprehensive and by no means over-priced, and the Covid precautions were subtle and reassuring.All in all a lovely a special experience which we look forward to repeating, whatever the weather.

This is the only the second time we have eaten out since the lockdown in March. We sat in their sunny garden and enjoyed drinks, lunch and the irresistible puddings.

I presume it's because they have just reopened, but the quality of the food was not good, the chicken salad starter appeared to have been sourced from Sainsbury's and the reduction of port in the main was akin to liquid marmite.

Really pleased with our wedding anniversary dinner on Monday night; service was a little slow to start, but unsurprising given there were only 2 wait staff and for one, it was her first night. However, everything improved. The food was as lovely as it always is, which again improved with each course and the little touches are appreciated; the amuse bouche, the palate cleanser between courses etc. Very friendly staff and it's a place we always book when we want something a little more upmarket and local. A nice menu that doesn't overwhelm you with too much choice. They stick to locally sourced produce and the outcome is first class.My only constructive feedback is not everyone wants meat with every course and whilst the chef was happy to remove the bacon bits from the starter and the ham from the main, he did say he was only able to do this as they were relatively quiet. As a pescatarian, the menu would have been much more limited if the chef hadn't been so flexible, so it might be nice to have a specific fish-only dish, other than the usual salmon, as found on every other menu (we have this at home a lot, so wanted something different whilst out). But overall, still a definite 10/10 and I'd definitely recommend it.

I’d been wanting to visit Sign of the Angel for some time, after looking at the menu and being tempted by the dishes on offer. I decided to book to celebrate getting a new job and I was not disappointed. On arrival the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us ( I visited with two friends). Lacock is a very pretty village and the building itself is really ornate, so the food needed to be something that little bit special and it certainly was!I started off with the Smoked King Prawn, as I was intrigued by the accompaniments ( crepe, cucumber tartare etc). It was light, fresh and zesty, a very different way to start a meal.Others in my party had the Savory Cheesecake and the Soup, both of which were enjoyed and we all commented on how nice it was to find a selection of out of the ordinary starters. My main course ( of Guinea Fowl) was succulent and the Chorizo stuffing and smoked garlic mashed potatoes gave it a filling and comforting edge.We didn’t have desert, as the meal was quite filling but there is a good selection.During the meal, our waiter was friendly and attentive but not overbearing, which is exactly the style of service we wanted. We were able to enjoy our meal and take our time but they were there if we needed anything. Overall, a lovely way to celebrate. We will be returning!

Well, what a strange experience! The manager is very odd and could do with looking up the word hospitality! He seems not bothered by anything and totally disinterested in his customers, almost like the customers are an annoyance to him. It was a shame that there was a power cut whilst we were there, which meant we couldn't eat in the restaurant, but the managers' behaviour in response was just bizarre. The rooms are nice, cute and cosy, just what we were after. But beware room no.2 is very noisy and sits above the restaurant, which would usually be fine but in this instance the manager was up until 3 am chatting by the fire! Noise carries like you're sat next to someone. I'm sure others could have great experiences here, but ours was pretty poor!

A winters Sunday walk in Lacock around the Abbey and the grounds and through the beautiful village of Lacock is one of my favourites - but I always leave it too late for making arrangements for family lunch together; especially when there are 9 of us. I nearly left it too late this time as well but on the Saturday tried to book across the internet - although it was not possible to get a table for 9 I did get 2 tables - one for 5 and one for 4 at slightly staggered times. Imagine my delight on the Saturday evening to get a phonetical from the restaurant to double check arrangements and on finding I hadn't made a mistake to offer to get me a table for 9 - it was the first indication of outstanding service.

Absolutely fantastic meal! We were blown away by the service, menu and most importantly the food. We were part of a large party (9 diners) and every single person raved about their dinner (the duck confit, pheasant and banana parfait were particularly special). We had a baby with us too and the staff were brilliant with him, they presented him with his own set of cutlery, his food was beautifully presented (and served with the starters) and they even prepared him his own amuse- bouche too. It is the most family friendly restaurant that we have ever been to and we can not wait to return. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

I'm afraid to say that we didn't complain when we were there. Unfortunately we were just all too 'British' about it and it was just too horribly awkward. Not only that but it was a festive gathering that had been planned for months so not one of us liked to ruin the occasion. We should have. It was only afterwards, away from the restaurant (we didn't even get to National Trust car park before we all spoke up) that we started to discuss the experience. As far as i know no one left a tip.

This beautiful historic old Inn has been one of my favourite places to eat, sometimes stay, for years. Not anymore. They serve food and sell drinks but cannot spell hospitality, let alone provide it. Cold and unwelcoming, tired furnishings, garish tables in the restaurant. No attention to detail no warmth, just terrible.

Following a wonderful family lunch here some years ago, I decided to take my husband to the Sign of the Angel for a surprise birthday Sunday lunch. The real surprise was just how bad it was. We were seated at a table by the door where a freezing blast rushed in every time it was opened. We waited 50 minutes for bread which arrived dry with a long hair baked into it. My husband's beef was cold and fatty; the Yorkshire pudding was flat and hard; the roast potatoes were flabby and there was almost no gravy. My truffle and goat's cheese fondant was a small mousse with boiled potatoes, curiously tinged pink, and some wilted salad. Why do chef's assume vegetarian's only have small appetites? We both went for the dark chocolate Creme brûlée which was nice enough but not Creme brûlée. We were given a discount on our meal because of the cold meat - which was returned on a hot plate - but were still charged £18 for each of our main courses, which was exorbitant for what we had. Everything was disappointing and we won't be going back.

Having been before, we were looking forward to Sunday lunch. what a disappointment. Poor slow service. The beef advertised as rare, was not and the serving of vegetables was quite frankly, mean. The dessert was very disappointing, if you only have a 3cm triangle of overcooked chocolate brownie perhaps you should offer an alternative. When paying, was asked if all ok and when we mentioned the slow service and poor dessert, the young man just laughed. Needless to say, we won't be back.

The location could not be bettered, the village of Laycock has featured in countless films and television productions. The price you pay for this scenic spot is the very difficult parking places. I believe there is a larger general car park available somewhere, but on a cold and wet winter night any gap is welcome.

We had an amazing group dinner at this pub last weekend. We were a group of 10 and they had no problems booking us in and gave us this delightful little side room with a roaring fire and our own waiter (Will) to look after us all night. Will did a brilliant job, was extremely attentive and gave good honest advice on all the dishes. The food was spectacular, the duck breast in particular. Great experience - I wish I could do it all over again! Also the building itself is amazing, old tudor style - feels like youve jumoped backa few centureies when you walk upstairs to go to the bathroom.

Nestled in the heart of Lacock village is a true gem, a 15th century inn with 2 rosette standard food. I'd heard about how good the food was and I knew I had to visit! The staff were welcoming and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. I was really impressed with the vegan options on offer and they did not disappoint! I had Charred Butternut Squash for starter and Curried pea and potato croquette for main, the dishes were yummy! It wasnt just a meal it was an experience, myself and my family will be returning and most definitely recommend it to anyone!

After a recommendation from a friend we visited on Friday, on arrival we were very warmly welcomed and found the atmosphere very relaxing. After ordering drinks (which came almost immediately) we looked at the menu which is varied and appetizing enough to suit all tastes. The steamed plaice fillet I ordered was delicious and my husband especially enjoyed the stuffed pork tenderloin with cider sauce. Overall the staff were lovely and the service fantastic, the food was moorish and we will definitely be visiting again. I highly recommend...

Shown to a table which was very close to the next one and had to shuffle into our seats to avoid clashing with the full adjacent table. A few minutes wait the ordered drinks. No beer on tap everything in bottles. Wife ordered G & T when it arrived no ice. Sorry ice machine broken.-Really?. Nip down the supermarket and get some in then.So a pub weith no beer on draught and no ice.
