The Angel in Chelmsford

Nic was amazing, very lovely service

Yaz and Nick were amazing food was lovely and very swift service

Great service, great food, great price. Highly recommend this place. Bar staff are lovely and attentive. Nick and Yaz especially made this visit

Food was excellent from the chef Alison and our server Steve was very pleasant and attentive. A nice open fire added to the atmosphere.

Lovely lunch, interesting and delicious food well presented and we were made so welcome by Nic. Thank you

Visting family this weekend and came to the Angel nearly everyday! Was very busy Friday evening with their music bingo so just had a lovely drink. Food Saturday and Sunday. Must try their roasts as they are hot and Devine. A must visit when in the area.

A lovely lunch. Salads were great, service fantastic. Nice friendly staff.

10/10 visit. Will always come back! Food tasty and the team will always go above and beyond.

great visit again this weekend Nothing is too much trouble for the team. They dealt with an awful table very well who were rude to the whole team. Food delicious and service fantastic.

First time I have visited the Angel Pub for a meal with friends prior to a coach trip to London. The waiter seemed polite and friendly to begin with. Food was tasty and enjoyable. I didn't like the waiter's comments after we asked for the bill, he replied "hope you're not going to do a runner"??!! He then produced our bill for just over £100 for 3 of us and made some homophobic comments about being able to spot a gay man and adding to me " No offence intended"? I ignored the remark and then he proceeded to ask "was his tip coming out of the Money for bill?!!" I handed him £3 and he didnt say a word. I wont' be repeating the experience at your venue as sadly it was spolit by the waiters comments. He was a older gentleman and I thought he would have more tact and manners but I was wrong whether joking or not!! The date of our meal was Friday 1st November at 2pm.

Lasagne was more like soup. Too many mushrooms in the starters and also getting served with our mains whilst still eating our starters. Gents toilet had broken lock and disabled toilet had to be opened by a knife. Also check condiments levels.

Came here for a graduation celebration meal and everything was amazing, service was quick and efficient, food came quickly and was delicious. Would defiantly recommend The Angel for a nice meal with family 😁😁😁

Matt, Steve and Megan were all amazing in serving us for my wife's graduation meal. Food was absolutely amazing

Paige was excellent and served us efficiently. 5 stars great service

Served by Yasmin today, she was so lovely and efficient. Food was lovely and service was great

Have not been for years but came back today and had a Sunday roast and dessert very nice will come again.

Came in for a bit to eat and a drink with my beloved family and dog, was greeted by the Megan who was very accommodating we sat in the bar area next to the warm fireplace. Aaron on the bar was very friendly and helpful. Had a great selection of wines and beers. And not to add the food was amazing! 3 for £12 was a bargain! We will definitely be returning .

Loved it! Great food, fantastic service Pie fantastic, pizzas are huge and the salads are soooooo filling Always recommend.

Great food this evening, great service from Megan and Aaron will be returning soon

Pie Saturday lunchtime 9/11/24 Over priced over cooked very very disappointing After a long journey to visit my father in Broomfield Hospital, I was in need of a wholesome meal, pie of the day was chosen, with mash and vegetables. The pie was over cooked meat large cuts, unable to cut (saw) very chewy, plate was cold vegetables cold, not approached once to ash how meal was. Meal and a pint £23 no starter or sweet Wish I hadn’t bothered Definitely definitely won’t be back

Cosy scene with warm welcoming atmosphere Wide variety on the menu Great evening spent

Wife and I popped in to grab some dinner with our dog. Nice food, friendly staff. Had the fires going which was a nice touch

Sunday lunch wasn't very hot, but the service was excellent

This place is good for a family meal, drink with friends or for a causal meet-up I came here for a meal and was served by Aaron on the bar the place had a cosy atmosphere and the staff were fun and friendly I had the signature burger which was amazing and my friend had the gammon which they said was excellent 10/10 will definitely be back in the near future

Just up top my road love the food here

Lovely place ,for a quick meal in the bar area or more leisurely meal in the restaurant. Dog friendly area Lso

Food was hot and tasty could have been faster coming out overall customer service was good and staff were pleasant car park is very assessable and entrance to venue is easy there’s a good atmosphere and is warm and pleasant

Food was absolutely flawless staff always friendly and professional

Very good Steve really looked after us well done Steve and a big thank you

A duck pizza, was very nice, but needed a little more sauce as was a little dry. The sea bass was very nice but not very hot. Would return, but it was a tad cold in the place when I visited. Plenty of parking.

Charge for tap water???? £5.95. Queried it, was given some complicated reason. Since when do you get charged for tap water.

Very friendly, great service, lovely food. My friend and I visited for lunch mid week, so can't really say if it would be as good at peak times, but we couldn't fault it. Very happy with everything.

Had a lovely vegetarian meal with my sister. The staff were wonderful especially Zac who was so very helpful and smiling throughout. The food was the best we have ever had at this restaurant and the atmosphere is all you could wish for.

Zachery was amazing and attentive really friendly and nice service. He will go far in his career

Lovely pub , my food prawn cocktail and signature burger was very nice , burger not tough however the steaks which on the centurion menu are an extra £6 were fatty and tough my friend having to cut away most of her steak as she couldn’t eat it I would love to return just not on a Monday as it’s a staff training day and food service took a long time . Staff need more training on vouchers as had a bit of confusion but I think this comes from vintage inns them selves not necessarily the managers or staff , but they should know what voucher work with what menu

Nice pub friendly service basic food but tasty

First Visit this evening and it was excellent would definitely recommend, food and service was exceptional

The only thing was my steak was quite tough, but apart from that very nice

Great service from Matt and manager Megan always greeted with a smile there is also a lovely atmosphere that is accompanied with the employees in

Such a wonderful place for a family lunch the food is wonderful and the staff are marvellous especially the waiter we had today Steve very friendly and told really bad jokes that my granddaughter loved

We visited the Angel for lunch to celebrate my mum’s birthday. My partner had really good memories of the food though last went there years ago. It is safe to say that unfortunately it has gone downhill. The building is very tired on the outside and Inside could also definitely do with some TLC. We were three adults and one child and ordered three pies of the day but there was only one left. We weren’t allowed to swap the veg that came with the pie to a side salad so ordered an extra side salad, a sea bass and the lamb dish. The food took over half an hour to come out, we felt like we were waiting for ages. The seabass was extremely bland, it had no flavour whatsoever. The pie was also flavourless. The only dish that anyone enjoyed somewhat was the lamb. The side salad never arrived and when i mentioned it on leaving, I was politely offered a refund for the salad alone but was not asked once how my meal was, hence I didn’t complain as it’s not in my nature. The child’s meal of tomato pasta had more flavour than the seabass dish. At £85, I thought it was expensive and the food was rubbish. Will not be returning

Amazing pub! The chefs Alison and Rhys smash it out the park every time! Along with my regular servers Matt & Laura, I always go back and will keep returning!

I live near the Angel, it is a wonderful pub with great food. The atmosphere is very happy and fun. A special shout out to the manager, she is very friendly and nothing is too much.

Come in nearly evening and always met by a smile from either Matthew or Emily order myself the 3 for £10 made by Josh the food it always great love the staff love the pub well done team angel

Matthew behind bar was friendly and easy to talk to. Lovely pub been coming here over 30 yrs. Still a great place to go to eat and drink

Matt and Emily where amazing great service and great food will be returning

Had a lovely lunch, the fish finger sandwich was absolutely delicious. Mathew who served us wasVery welcoming and easy to talk to. The atmosphere is lay’d back and you are not rushed.

I have never posted a bad review before but felt i had to this time. I have been for a meal before where i had been so disappointed. We have not visited the Angel for several years and we will NOT be returning. The food was awful, the building was very tired and dated, paint peeling. It felt dirty We had Sunday roast 3 x adults and 3 children. It was extremely disappointing. The meat (turkey & beef) was fatty and chewy. All the vegetables were hard and mostly inedible, especially the potatoes and cauliflower cheese. The Yorkshire pudding and gravy was nice. The staff were very nice, friendly, helpful and organised.

Great vegan choice, friendly welcome as usual. Steve and Sarah lovely as usual

10/10. Lovely pub, lovely staff and amazing food! Food came so quickly and was delicious. Can’t wait to come back :)

Sarah Emily Laura were very accommodating

Sarah is absolutely fantastic, what a credit! We had a Sunday roast, lamb was a little on the dry side but the trio was fab. Lovely little pub with nice nooks for some privacy while dining. If in the area again we’ll definitely be returning in the hopes of seeing Sarah again.

Food was great service was amazing I would come here for Sarah alone she’s a fantastic host and waitress! Great humour very friendly made our dining experience that much better!!

The food is excellent, the environment is relaxing and the staff are welcoming and really helpful.

We got served by Steve he was fast but still chatting and telling jokes he made a very good impression and we will be back with more dad jokes 4 him

Just revisited the Angel for dinner and just as always it was amazing. Can’t fault this place it really just keeps going up and up!

Went here for Sunday lunch, total waste of money and won’t return. Beef was like rubber, potatoes vegetables and Yorkshire pudding cold, parsnips like mush and cottages cheese which was not only cold but in my opinion was just cauliflower with a bit of dressing over it, not cottage cheese at all. Gents toilets disgusting to the point you need to hold your breath, although the floor tiles are cleaner than the wall tiles, taps loose when turning on, generally although I know it’s a very old building it wouldn’t be a bad idea to spend some money on it and make it a bit more appealing and maybe add some staff that actually want to work there and serve you. Manners cost nothing.

Easy to park and good value for money

Zac was amazing. So attentive, very polite and kind. Wonderful service.

Lovely service from Zac tonight. Very helpful and welcoming. Good advice given.

Zac was a very pleasant waiter and the food was good too.

Six of us had a lovely meal. Zac was great 😊

Wonderful service from the waiter, who was highly attentive. Food was satisfactory for the price and location. Certainly would return for a relaxed bite.

After a day that wasn't great my friend and I went to the angel for a meal. To say it was good is an understatement, my friend is a coeliac and our server Zac asked for assistance which came from yaz they both explained the restrictions and limitations on the menu. Our meals arrived both were superb and filling and the extra special dessert made by Yaz was the perfect finish to a great meal. I whole heartedly recommend coming here.

Great local pub. Food and service consistent, which says a lot.

OK pub yet to try food nice people good wine

Excellent food and fabulous service from Zac with a good selection of beers. Would definitely return.

Lovely food service a bit on the slow side

Had a lovely meal, staff extremely friendly

This is my new local, I come with my mum and grandad, and we always feel welcome and comfortable in the angel. The staff are very kind and helpful, especially Megan the general manager. She recognises us every time and chats to us. The atmosphere is very warm and pretty. We have got the 3 for £10 plates a few times and are always spoilt for choice. The food is lovely and portion sizes are great value for money. Lovely pub xx

Steve was absolutely amazing. Food was great and always a great atmosphere

Wow I cannot believe the charm and service of this pub. Food was splendid, the drinks refreshing and the service exquisite. Sarah you were fabulous, can't wait to come back again.

Lovely meal at the end of a long day. Even better service from Steve who took the time to ask about our day and went above and beyond our expectations. Will be coming back :)

Megan has done a great job turning this place around, it’s now a great place to be and enjoy a nice meal

Essentially it’s pub food but well cooked. Service was excellent.

A lovely pub, brilliant food and an amazing atmosphere!!!

Revisited this pub on Sunday. Had a great meal. Food was again great. Atmosphere was good. Our servers Yasmin and Steve were great. Nice to see decaf coffee available

Our server Sarah was fantastic. She was very thorough with our grandsons extensive allergies. Food was lovely

Excellent Sunday lunch. Generous portions and cooked perfectly. Yasmin our server was excellent. Great experience and The Angel is now our go to pub for Sunday roast. Have tried lots of other pubs in the area and this is the best value and food quality.

Wonderful service & a great knowledge of allergies. There aren’t many places I can take my son to eat. Thank you.

Amazing atmosphere and mouthwatering food. I cannot recommend the mac and cheese with brisket enough!! Special shoutout to Steve for exceptional service! We can’t wait to visit again soon!

Visited with my fiancé for some dinner. I had a Sirloin, was cooked perfectly. Paige was out waitress, she was very kind and attentive

Poor service, missing items on menu. Fish cakes shy on fish but dish filled with potatoes Drink selection poor so no Tia Maria coffee and no Baileys

Thank you so much to Sarah and Megan for such a warm welcome and wonderful service. Nothing was too much trouble, they were attentive without being too intrusive. The food was lovely too - thank you so much to all the team!

I booked a table of 19 for my Daughter's 18th birthday and things couldn't have gone any better. Meghan and Steve were both brilliant on the night; polite, charming and couldn't have been more helpful, constantly checking we were ok and if there was anything we needed. I was also in touch with Meghan in the run up to the meal and nothing was too much trouble for her. Steve is fabulous and an absolute character, everyone loved him. They are both great assets to The Angel and Vintage Inns. All the food was very tasty and it came out piping hot, which is no mean feat when there is19 of you. We had no complaints and all our guests said how much they enjoyed it. I booked this off the back of my 50th birthday meal which we held there and was also amazing, so I'm delighted it wasn't a one off. We will be back for sure.

Wonderful pub, tasty food, lovely pint!

Such a good lunch, I was welcomed by Sarah, not treated like a leper as a solo diner I asked to reserve the root veg wellington, which was delicious Steve was my host, nothing too much trouble Sarah told she’s worked hard to make the Angel a welcoming and excellent venue. It doesn’t feel like a chain, the staff really make a difference I will be a regular customer now

Poor service - waitress left our food without cutlery or condiments despite passing the cutlery station on the way to serving us. No forks were then available when we walked back across the large garden to collect. Very cool dinners to eat once this was sorted. Not the best way to gain repeat business. In response to your reply I can assure you we were not informed we needed to pick up cutlery when ordering at the bar otherwise of course we would have done so. Your waitress very firmly advised us to collect our own when delivering our food. Her attitude was not friendly and therefore it was not really an option to request further assistance from her.

We had a wake here and honestly couldn't fault it, the prices good, the food was great and plenty of it and the guy who served the food (think he was the chef and maybe even the manager/owner) was really kind. The place got very very busy as the day wore on so clearly lots of others share a good opinion too. The garden was nice and the pub itself spacious. Would definitely recommend

Excellent food! The team are great and efficient.

As a regular at The Angel Pub, I can confidently say it’s a fantastic spot. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, making each visit enjoyable. The food is consistently good, offering a great variety of delicious options. Their excellent customer service keeps me coming back time and again. Highly recommend!

I am new to the area and it is the first time I have been to the angel, from when we entered we where treated amazingly by the staff Nick and Sarah and both where really happy to help will be returning for sure in the future.

Not bad, friendly place. Beer garden is big, the building is very old and full of character. Food was just fine. Good place to spend a Saturday in the sun.

The food was really nice but the service was terrible took too long to be given my food. The service does need to be improved.

We went to The Angel in Broomfield. What a change to how it was the last time we went there, a few years ago. We were welcomed by the barman. (It seems the staff are all different, as well as the furniture layout.

I visited the Angel with my Mum for a roast on 7th July 2024. We had lamb and beef and both were delicious. The portion is rather large and I didn't think I would manage it all but it was so nice, somehow I squeezed it in along with dessert! The pub had a lovely atmosphere, was clean and welcoming. Steve, our waiter was friendly, helpful and had a lovely sense of humour! We will be back! Thank you.

Was very disappointed with the chicken and bacon and salad , avocado was Slushy was not the best dish at all

Popped in here after a upsetting/frustrating hospital appointment. Pleased to say the lunch deal didn't disappoint and we left extremely full & much happier than when we went in! Staff were attentive, prompt & knew what was suitable for vegans (their hot chocolate mix has milk in it which they made me aware of when I ordered that - instead I had a chai latte with oat milk, yum. Also confirmed the triple cooked chips were ok as cooked separately). Arancini was delicious, as was the curry - and mini crumble with vegan custard. Also appreciated that my request of pineapple juice with no ice cubes was listened to (so many places don't & I end up trying to fish the cubes out/with a watery drink grrrr!!) The pub has a welcoming feel (including to dogs :-) was nice and clean, music not too loud, comfy seats, and had interesting features.

Very good food fish 🐟 and chips 🤤
