The Angel in Chelmsford

matt very welcoming as you come in to the angel and during stay, always helpful !! 🤍

Amazing food and service. Ty Nicola for your fast and attentive service.

Getting much better , cheaper than the kings arm . The garden could really do with a make over. A tall fence to block the road out, sone plants and levelling the grass etc .

Have been here for lunch a few times. The food is always delicious and the staff are very friendly. Definitely recommended.

I recently had lunch at The Angle Pub and had a fantastic experience. The meal was absolutely delicious, and I was pleased to find a great selection available, even though I am gluten and lactose intolerant. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service from Laura. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Thank you, Laura!

My partner and I went for Sunday dinner and we both had the trio which was absolutely lovely. Haven’t been here for a while but will definitely be back very soon. Our server Steve was brilliant, friendly attentive, great customer service even though he seemed to be serving the whole area we were seated in single handedly. He spoke politely to all the customers and even threw a joke in with us which made us laugh. Only criticism I will add is they removed the banoffee pie a long time ago and I was hoping it may have been added to the menu again but sadly not, instead there is a banoffee choux bun which was ok but no where near as nice as the banoffee pie…. Please bring it back, best banoffee pie Iv ever had! The icecream that came with the choux bun was really nice with a lovely flavour. Compliments to the chef and kitchen staff for a great meal, we will be back again soon!

We visited in late December, only to be told by the Acting Manager that the Chef refused to serve me. This was after I declined to sign an allergen disclaimer for their food, despite the Food Standards Agency advising against such disclaimers for individuals with allergies. So, if it's not a disclaimer, what exactly is it if I was denied the only item I ordered – chips? I asked for contact details for head office through Messenger but was ignored and seemingly blocked. Very unprofessional. I had to contact Head Office myself, which resulted in an Area Manager calling me to apologise for the 'young' Manager. She confirmed the situation occurred as I had described and assured me the response would be updated to remove the denial of my refusal. However, instead of a proper apology, the response you can see has just been reworded to say, "Sorry you felt you couldn't eat with us." I repeat, I had no choice in the matter. It’s appalling that the Manager couldn’t fully own up to the situation, so I’m forced to go back to Head Office once more. It’s completely avoidable and demonstrates that they don’t take allergy complaints seriously. This isn’t the first issue I’ve had – previously, I was served a dish with gluten despite clearly requesting a gluten-free meal. They claim the same policy of these ' non disclaimers' exist in other Mitchell & Butler chains, but that’s simply not true. I’ve visited many in the past two years and have always been handed a Gluten-Free Menu. If you have allergies, I strongly advise avoiding this place. I’m also very concerned about how they handle complaints.

I was very disappointed with my visit here. We were a family booking of 8 and had gone on the recommendation of someone's previous experience to celebrate a family event. The food took forever to arrive, some starters were unavailable but we weren't told this until other starters had already arrived. Food was cold, some roasted potatos were overcooked others undercooked. A request for fresh cutlery was met with a the waiter dumping a huge handful of cutlery in front of one of our party. Dishes arriving incomplete, some not at all. Staff, whilst friendly and polite, appeared embarrassed amid the chaos. Not a good look. I'd probably not return.

Went to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday on a cold winters evening, but the welcome was warm, as was the lovely log fire we were seated next to. Their excellent cuisine (40% off of mains was also great!), was enhanced by Steve, our wonderful joke telling waiter. He made our evening... and we even gave him some new ones to try out! They say there is a restaurant on the moon, which has great food, but no atmosphere. The latter certainly doesn't apply to The Angel! We will be back!

A nice family pub, more of somewhere to have a family meal, I popped in for just a drink and it ticked all the boxes.

Had a good time with my daughter. Service was quick and Steve the waiter was very pleasant. We both had a selection from the starters and side orders. One of the dishes was crispy fried chicken which was delicious but I am convinced it was pork .I did query it with the waiter who assured me it was chicken but I am not convinced. Altogether a lovely lunch .

Hayley was amazing and looked after us beautifully - really lovely meal to celebrate a birthday. Would recommend - thanks for a tasty afternoon

Had not been for a long time as was not impressed with food and service. This visit was a real eye opener and it was so nice to get home cooked food and not Brake Bros pinged food. Our server was excellent and our little group have said we will definitely be back again soon.

very good experience. Very attentive staff

Always love visiting the Angel. Wonderful service from Emily & Laura, super friendly team.

Always a great experience visiting the Angel. Staff are friendly and service is always great. Food is tasty especially the bar snacks menu which is really good value for money.

Great service from the team tonight great choice on the menu will be returning soon we had the hunters chicken and signature burger which was very nice 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ definitely recommend

Hayley was excellent, she was very attentive and friendly!

Hayley was very kind and an amazing waitress

We went to The Angel for my husband's birthday and had a fantastic meal. Everything was so tasty and the staff were friendly and helpful. The Angel has a lovely atmosphere and is easy to relax into.

We were served by Laura who made us feel very welcome.

A beautiful pub and restaurant! The food was excellent and came out pipping hot. We were served by Laura who was amazing and made us feel very welcome, would definitely recommend.

We had a very nice lunch here. The choice of sandwiches was limited so we all went for the beef and it was very nice.

Great service. Zak was brilliant

Great place to eat or even just have a drink Laura was really friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back! Also have some great offers

Food was absolutely flawless staff always friendly and professional

Great country pub in Broomfield with a very warm atmosphere. All of our food was cooked well, and I especially enjoyed the chicken and mushroom pie. If I had one criticism, the calamari wasn't as hot as I would have liked but aside from that, really good. There is an extensive dessert list with something for everyone. I will definitely be returning!

Nichola and Megan are lovely. Always a pleasure to visit the Angel.

Lovely food, amazing service from nic. Very friendly and fast service. Nice cosy pub with fireplaces and classic pub grub

New years eve meal here Good price and lovely food

The Angel is just always in my top 5! Great food, fantastic service and when it comes to allergens you really go above and beyond to cater and ensure the food you’re eating is safe to have. I can’t have dairy and once I mentioned it they brought up a very useful allergen guide which made it so easy for me to see what dishes I could and couldn’t have. Thank you team Angel

Lovely food hailey waitress very helpful and friendly 5/5

Brilliant service from lovely Nicola & Emily :) thank you!

Service was friendly and welcoming. Food was really good. An excellent meal in wonderful surroundings. Really happy with the vegan options.

Went for a Christmas meal, was pretty disappointed to be honest. Food was ok, but the service was far too slow. Food came out over an hour later than booked, we had ordered sides of pigs in blankets that never appeared, drinks took ages to be brought over. I know Christmas is a busy time, but this was unacceptable.

Impressive Christmas Dinner. Service perfect. 3 really tasty and well presented courses and no obligatory service charged added on to the bill. In fact, 2 large red wines, 1 diet coke and 2 coffees came to £29.15 which I thought was reasonable. Will definitely return next year.

Busy on Christmas day - but they managed very well, great staff and great food, had the beef wellington and chocolate desert - recommended.

Great pub, great beer & wine selection, great menu. Has the traditional feel being in an old building (1702 became a pub). Recommended

Lovely Christmas eve meal with friends, food and service were excellent and Nicola looked after us wonderfully

Lovely meal and atmosphere, Nicola was a great thank you very much

Fantastic food and our server Nicola was amazing! Very very personable and made sure we had everything we needed.

Me and my family came for lunch this Christmas Eve and were served by the amazing Nicola, she made us feel so comfortable and the service was great. Food is always amazing and the angel is always a lovely pub to visit no matter the time of year. Keep it up

Beautiful atmosphere, Nichola served our table her energy was positive, joyful and lifted up the Christmas spirit for our Xmas Eve meal. Such kind, helpful staff. The food on top of this amazing as always when we come here. Cozy pub, warm, inviting.

Nicola was very friendly and we had a great laugh! Would recommend the gammon very highly, looking forward to coming back

Nicola was very friendly and a great waitress - thank you very much!

Unfortunately no lessons have been learnt in the 3 years we have avoided this place in relation to how they address customers and how they deal with allergy orders. Avoid unless you want them to try and force you to sign illegal disclaimers that try and protect themselves ( big news this doesn’t stand up in court and Food Gov says to report restaurants that try and shirk responsibility with these). I only wanted Chips. Your staff were quite patronising and kept staring over and talking about us after they left. We will never return for food again and you lost three full meal orders that night plus mine. Not good in a 3/4 empty pub restaurant 3 days before Christmas! Perhaps that’s telling enough without my review.

Had a great birthday meal here with the family. Nicola was very attentive despite being extremely busy. Food was excellent and reasonably priced.

merry Christmas team Angel Great meal and singer tonight during our monthly visit. Can’t wait to celebrate the new year with you and the DJ!

I have been coming here for many years however a recent meal with friends means I probably won’t return . The atmosphere is lovely , it’s a very cosy and pretty pub but our meal was not good at all . Drinks took ages to arrive , my starter portion of pate was insultingly small and the rest of our groups food was just a bit flat . Extremely good chips though . Very, very slow service meant that by the time we came to order pudding the kitchen was shut , so no pudding . Our waiter was charming and helpful but run off his feet in a busy week before Christmas, so couldn’t cope at all with the huge job of dealing with a full restaurant alone . Loos could also do with a bit of attention , hand drier not working and they could have done with a bit of a clean . There was also a very strange continuous back ground noise ( air con, old fridge ?? ) the whole time which was a bit unnerving .

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and our waitress Nicola was brilliant Been coming here for years and the food historically was hit and miss but whoever has taken over has done a great job with the new food/menu. Also love the way it’s decorated at Christmas and so cosy.

Nicola was fantastic. Very polite, quick with orders. Nothing was too much trouble. A credit to your company. Well done and thank you

Lovely food, lovely service for our waitress Nicola

Great service only popped in for lunch but great food and great service

6 of us enjoyed our Sunday lunch today Great service Nice old fashioned pub The meal was great Thank u

Service and food was excellent.

Nice quiet place at 10pm to have a drink

Great vegan choice, Hayley and her colleague very welcoming and helpful

First time coming to the Angel and myself and my family will be returning without a doubt. Our server Steve was so informative of the menu and such a delight. He made us all feel so welcomed and comfortable. Our food was so lovely and I can’t wait to return.

Had a lovely leisurely lunch, great service from Nicola, great food

Two of us enjoyed a fantastic lunch at the Angel! They've really upped their game! Our server- Nicola - was lovely...very friendly and attentive. The food was beautifully cooked and delicious...strongly recommended and will definitely go again!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 😁😁😁

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

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

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

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 .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!
