The Angel in South Hams

Recently had Sunday Lunch here at The Angel. The Sunday Roast was overall good. The chicken & vegetables were very tasty, but roasties were slightly overdone & the jus was quite watery with no real depth of flavour. & we enjoyed the treacle sponge & chocolate dessert but found them on the extremely small side. The service could 100% been better. They only had 2 waiters doing the full restaurant. One seemed to be doing drinks & setting tables & the other purely for food. This just didn’t work, they were not attentive or efficient with orders, clearing plates & keeping on top of drinks etc. Several tables including ourselves waited 20+ mins to have plates cleared. Their excuse kept being ‘what do you expect we’re busy’ when it was brought to their attention by customers. I feel 2 staff could definitely work that number of tables, if they were working their damn hardest. Within the first hour of being there, we had only had one starter & no mains yet which was pretty slow. When you only have your table for 1 hour & 45 mins, this isn’t good enough. We only had 45 mins to eat mains & dessert & customers coming in wanting their tables were noticeably getting annoyed. There was a 3rd member of staff working behind the bar area, doing what im not sure but she looked as if she would have rather been in jail. Having said all of that, we are keen to return to try Ellie’s tasting menu as i dont think a Sunday roast is a true representation of a chefs talent & we will hope for better service & front of house attitude. Dining out isn’t just about the food its about the full experience.

Huge thank you to Elly Wentworth and the team at The Angel Taste of Devon for an amazing lunch. Food and service were incredible.

Omg! Best meal ever. Nathan was a fantastic waiter along with the lady whose name we didn’t get. Food was amazing! Had the taster menu which was soooo tasty! Definitely recommend going there.

Went for an interview here and they said march the 4th at 4pm but they never showed up..

Had a wonderful break at the Dartmouth apartment which included dinner at the Angel. The food was amazing the staff first class and we had a truly wonderful evening. I would highly recommend this place. We will be back

Wonderful food and a lovely atmosphere . The flavours of every course on the Tasting Menu were sublime . A most enjoyable evening .

Amazing food and service, went for a super meal there last night on cold windy night. The welcome was warm and friendly with such knowledgable staff, waiting for each lovely course was a joy. So thank you for such a beautiful experience

The tasting menu was good, varied and adventurous. The waitress was a really nice and knowledgable about the food. However, service from the Maitre D/ Sommelier was sadly lacking. Once we rejected his suggestion to upsell to the most expensive champagne, he chose to ignore us and spent the evening avoiding our table. Likewise, when asking the other wine host about the flavours and character of a particular wine, their only response was to try and replace that with one “chosen by the royals for their wedding” and not offering any information about the wine we had chosen. We were forced to serve our own wine as not at all attentive to empty glasses. This sadly significantly diminished the experience for us and made us feel unwelcome. A shame, given that this purports to be a Michelin service - we felt the stance arrogant and not reflective of my experience of Michelin restaurants.

After being quite excited, by articles we had read we decided to go for Sunday Lunch. The welcome and service were very offhand and my partner got the wrong main course. Her Bream turned out to be quite acceptable, but my beef roast turned out to be average and absolutely dominated by a huge Yorkshire pudding, more likely to be seen in a roadside café rather than a fine restaurant. The beef was ok but the rest was less than ordinary. The desserts; Brulee and a sticky toffee pudding could have easily come out of a supermarkets instant dessert counter. Not a great experience and definitely not to be repeated.

Very disappointing. Poor service. Two waitresses who were really slow. The roast for the Sunday lunch was tasteless. Roast potatoes that had seen better days as had the Yorkshire pudding. Does not deserve any accolade. We were really looking forward to this and it sadly let us down Even the wine said 2016 on the menu but when it came was a 2017.

Amazing Sunday lunch. Excellent food, drink, service, ambience. Even offered to adapt the menu to meet my dietary requirement. Will definitely come again, and would definitely recommend

Had a fantastic experience here, loved every mouthful. If a staff member is reading this please thank Elly for beautiful food and for speaking to me, it made my day!! 😊 I routed for her on masterchef & GBM

Went for lunch, and everything was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful and loved the interaction with the chefs 👩‍🍳 and the food was exceptional 👌

We visited the Angel for a special occasion on a Saturday and had a superb meal. Had the set/taster menu (only option on a Saturday evening) which they adjusted for dietary needs. Whilst not cheap it was worth every penny. Every dish (including the canapés which were not on the list) was excellent, for me the squid ink mussel served with they salmon was out of this world. Wine pairings were great as well, and included some unusual wines that I would not normally have tried. Waiting staff were pleasant and the sommelier was very helpful. Open kitchen gave a sense of what was happening (all very calm in there!) and the head chef was very visible.

My wife and I were visiting Dartmouth as an overnight stop off, and she booked The Angel as a birthday treat for me. I am lucky enough to have eaten in some top restaurants, and The Angel is right up there with the best of them. Fantastic tasting menu with all dishes beautifully presented. There is no need to worry about style over substance, though. The flavour combinations were all sublime. The staff were all excellent, attentive, and welcoming. I fail to see how recent negative reviews to the contrary can be remotely true based on my own experience. This was our second visit, and the same can be said of our first experience, too. There was a lovely atmosphere and buzz in the restaurant, which was full, and staff we equally attentive to all other diners. Furthermore, my wife has multiple severe food intolerances, and Ellie cooked a bespoke dish for her. I can not recommend The Angel highly enough.

Elly, what a talented chef you are. Truly delicious tasting menu, massive flavour, such a memorable experience. Hats off to Charles, a skilled affable chap who certainly knows his wines and delivered a first class service with a smile. Certainly not expensive for such quality ingredients, cooked to perfection. We will be back again soon. Well done Elly and team. Christopher and Deborah Davey

Generally ignored our table. Perhaps the rudeness was because we were a diverse party. Go elsewhere.

We booked a party of 6 at the Angel restaurant in Dartmouth to have the tasting menu (£95 each) for a family birthday celebration. Before arriving, we were phoned and told their card machine was not working and we would need to bring cash. We were able to bring about one third of the cash needed and were confident of being able to get the remainder from one of two ATMs just round the corner. On arrival, we asked if cash was still needed to which the answer was “if possible” – suggesting it was not essential. The meal was OK, but expensive with drinks. When it was time to pay, we tried the ATMs but both were empty, so we offered to pay one third by cash and the remainder by card, immediate bank transfer, or to leave full contact details and come back the next day. The manager became aggressive and insisted immediate payment by cash was the only option. This included telling a pregnant member of our party she would be unable to leave until the matter was resolved. The refusal to accept payment by bank transfer is especially strange since it would have been perfectly possible for them to confirm receipt before we left. In the end, and against my better judgement, three of our party were effectively frog-marched to the manager’s car and driven to an out-of-town ATM after which we paid in cash (less service charge obviously). The end-result was we paid around £130 each what we agreed was our worst ever restaurant experience. There is something seriously wrong with this restaurant and we advise anyone considering it to try one of the many other excellent restaurants in Dartmouth instead

Really looked forward to eating at the Angel and wasn’t disappointed. I am not the biggest fan of pork, but the set lunch pork belly was the best I have ever eaten, the celeriac that went with it was to die for! £35 for three courses was excellent value for money, needed a couple of sides to go with it too, which were both superb. Only think was the service was a tad slow, but that is being a bit picky

Outstanding food! Really delicious and a special experience. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a dining experience that is a serious cut above the rest.

We both chose the tasting menu - a relative steal compared to the 3 course option - and decided to treat ourselves with the wine flight as well. Not cheap but fantastic quality food and perfect wine pairings with generous servings of the latter. Service was warm and welcoming too. Overall a really enjoyable dinner treat

We both chose the tasting menu. My wife is a vegetarian and it’s refreshing to find somewhere that offers a tasting menu so she can share in the full experience. The food was excellent and so was the service, balancing excellent attentive detail with friendliness. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely go again when next in the area.

Not only some of the best quality food we’ve ever had, but the service we experienced was unmatched.

This is a potential Michelin star quality restaurant with a well known chef (Elly Wentworth, a MasterChef The Professionals finalist in 2016) who was working the night of our visit. Service was expert and professional, the dinner well paced. The open kitchen was nearby and...

Great value Set Lunch, I was treated for my birthday, & have wanted to visit for sometime. We had the 3 Course Set Lunch + 2 sides, from beginning to the end of the meal, everything on the plates look & tasted amazing, staff very...

It has just occurred to me that we didn't get round to leaving a review for this restaurant when we visited some weeks ago. After many years of holidaying at Dartmouth and gazing longingly at the menu we eventually decided that it was time to...

This was our first visit and it won't be the last. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent. We had the 3 course menu and each course was beautifully presented. The little extras were a delight! It is not cheap but is certainly worth every...

Just a beautiful experience can't say anymore than that

Outstanding food in a lovely relaxed setting with outstanding customer service. My husband and I enjoyed the tasting menu at The Angel last night, which was perfect from beginning to end, with no one dish better than the one before or after, they were all...

This was my first visit to the Angel, and what a delight. Warm welcome, knowledgable sommelier, (garlic gin was interesting) and unbelievable food. A superb mix of flavours which worked perfectly. A thoroughly delightful experience.

I had not visited The Angel since 2022. So, when recently in Dartmouth, I wanted to dine there again, hoping the food would be at least as tasty and elegantly presented as before. My dining companion and I, who was also with me for the...

Been coming here for over 40 years... since Joyce! Lunch was as expected wonderful. The 4 of us had 12 different dishes between us and ALL were wonderful. Another memerable visit. Thank you.

I think this was our 7th visit and this restaurant remains in my all time favourites list. I love the decor. The staff have just the right level of attentiveness . The food is always absolutely stunning and delicious. Love being able to see what...

Had the Tasting Menu one evening and the Set Lunch a few days later. As always superb food, superb service, lovely staff, relaxed setting. All the staff take such pride in their work and it shows! See you again next year if not sooner xxxx

A relatively small dining space makes for an intimate dinner here. Everything we were served was very good. The standouts were halibut and the desserts both pre and actual. We tend to stay away from tasting menus nowadays as we sometimes find it's too much...

We celebrated a birthday with a set meal at The Angel. The restaurant is in a perfect location and you can enjoy watching the people walk past and the river if you have a window seat. The restaurant is nicely decorated and peaceful. The food...

Another great visit, tried the 3 course lunch menu at only £35 per person, absolute bargain for the quality of ingredients, the cooking and presentation, give it a try, we will certainly be back again, thanks to all!

We were given a most generous gift token for Christmas by our offspring. We booked with excitement for a relaxed, leisurely lunch on a bright sunny day. Super menu, delicious food and wine, expertly guided by front of house Charles. We knew it would be...

Such a gem of place , an exceptional food experience the quality of which is very rare to find. Although a serious restaurant it has such pleasant staff from the top down and the food is on par with anywhere I have ever eaten. Obviously...

As a result of our friends’ recommendation, we had booked dinner on 19th May. The restaurant was very busy, but the staff quickly showed us to our table. The menu was very good, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We could not recommend this restaurant more highly and look forward to a dinner there when we return next year.

We went to The Angel on Saturday evening and tried the sampling menu - totally superb. Everything about The Angel is outstanding - the service, location and of course the food. Just when we thought that the next course couldn't possibly be as good as...

Fantastic tasting menu, and delicious wine. Service impeccable. Well priced. First time at the Angel and definitely will come again!

Absolutely incredible food.Had tasting menu.Staff were very friendly and the Sommelier made me some delicious cocktails.A very enjoyable experience.

This is now a firm favourite and we visit everytime we are in Dartmouth. Food and service was excellent. Personally loved the scallops starter and the Halibut but all the meals were excellent

Ate in this fabulous restaurant and the experience was amazing. The food was superb as was the presentation. The staff were second to none so professional and experienced . An absolute treat to eat here looking over the river dart superb!

Visited the Angel and enjoyed a very pleasant meal and some great wine on a special night out for anniversary. Went for the 3 course meal which had a varied choice and variety. Staff were attentive but not intrusive and helped make the evening run...

Went here as never been to Michelin star restaurant. Yes it was exactly what I expected. Exquisite tastes and beautifully presented but of course small portions and EXPENSIVE. Wouldn't bother again. I'd choose Riverford Field Kitchen every time although it's a different thing of course.

What an amazing evening. Service was immaculate. The food was wonderful, memorable, memory provoking, delicious and beautiful to look at. We had the a la Carte menu, loads to choose from and everything was mouthwatering. No rush, attentive staff, a beautifully paced evening with great...

We had an excellent evening at this restaurant. The food was amazing. We had the tasting menu and had so many delicately and imaginatively flavoured dishes. The restaurant uses incredibly fresh local produce. We highly recommend the restaurant - you will definitely not be disappointed.

Taster menu outstanding… service excellent … we all absolutely loved it. To celebrate my husbands birthday … exceeded expectations

A fabulous evening was had with friends at The Angel in Dartmouth - we had the taster menu and drinks flight which I would definitely recommend - great service from the sommelier who explained every wine in detail. The restaurant was also very accommodating as...

I had been dying to try this place since first moving to Devon, fifteen years ago, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff and service were impeccable and the food was sublime. I have never eaten a starter that I can honestly say, made me emotional. The Loch Duart salmon was exquisite, drenched in an incredible butter, with roast spring onions. Main was a very traditional Sunday Roast, but cooked to a level of heaven inexplicable with words. While i plumped for the cheese and crackers, (my first taste of goat's cheese), and a delightful thyme cracker, with a punchy chutney side, while my husband opted for rhubarb and custard, a deconstructional delight 😊 All in all, I couldn't fault it. Lovely place, lovely people, ill be dreaming about that salmon tonight ❤️

Excellent food and front of house service. Beautifully presented taster menu. Thoroughly deserves Michelin mention.

What a fantastic evening our little 4 member dining group had. The food was sublime such a selection of wonderful surprises, highly imaginative cuisine.We were given a very warm welcome and excellent service. Got there for early evening and were there quite late. We certainly...

This building features wall shingles, timber planks, balconies and jetties, the original owner was Edward Montagu and built in 1655.

It’s so hard to review what was a fabulous meal so harshly. Service fantastic at lunchtime. We were there from 12 noon until around 2.45pm with only our table of 3 and a table of two. The service was lovely, the food spectacular and very...

Very enjoyable evening. Food was delicious. Staff very pleasant.

We went here on the 30/12 for a meal and I must say we were not disappointed. The tasting menu with wine flight was exceptional! We have eaten at a few Michelin starred Restaurants, and I am surprised that this has not got one, it really was that good. We felt welcome upon arrival, with all the staff friendly, the location is fantastic and restaurant nicely decorated. Thank you for a lovely evening 😊

The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant and the staff friendly and helpful. Some friends and I had the New Years Eve tasting menu which was delicious. Most courses were tasty and beautifully presented (with the highlight for me being the venison course) and...

My wife and I had an exceptionally good dining experience at the Angel this New Years Eve , The food was really superb and the service exemplary . It is very surprising that Elly has not yet been awarded a Michelin star as the quality and execution of the cooking in our opinion certainly deserves it . We have been to a number of Michelin starred restaurants who we consider fail to meet the standards that Elly and her team have set .

Just do the Chef's table along with tasting menu and wine flight - also book ahead.

From the welcome to the desert through the amuse bouche everything was faultless. A definite revisit on our next trip to Dartmouth.

I have dined at the Angel at least a dozen times under all previous chef proprietors and 3 times under the present incumbent This tasting menu last week was simply not up to scratch When you first sit down and the menu for £95 per person is presented on a folded bit of A4 paper I had a sense of something not quite right We started with some canapes which were ordinary one presented as fish and chips but in reality a poor fishcake We were then presented with the done to death mini soup with herb oil ok but not hot enough Decent bread but not wonderful Served with whipped butter with olive oil poured on it This is not a great combination you can't dip the bread you can't spread the butter pointless Brill in a citrus broth literally could have been any fish and was just ok served with herb oil again The pate de foie was again underwhelming served with a overcooked dry mini brioche just not good The halibut was over cooked but being cut so thin hard not to be probably 2oz of fish the turnip fondant was laughably undercooked for a top kitchen. Decent sauce with the recurring herb oil added again not hot enough The centrepiece was a squab pigeon breast really Liverish with a thick overpowering chocolate and hazelnut sauce just wasn't good It was served with the same wilted spinach that was under the halibut The redeeming factor was an excellent jus with some very good mash but again not hot enough Pudding was a chocolate and orange concoction that was again ordinary and served with some ice cream mine half melted my partners not being . It tasted and looked like a supermarket bought item although I acknowledged it wasn't but if this is the upshot of the the labour it may as well be I posted this review privately to The Angel but as I didn't get the courtesy of a reply which a note they do seem to reply to positive reviews I have decided to share this publicly This has been one of my favourite restaurants to eat in for many years but unfortunately this visit left me sad It felt like a kitchen going through the motions nothing I ate on a whole tasting menu made me say wow Saying wow is what you are looking for when you visit great restaurants David Kearney

We arrived and where greeting and shown to our table, this is a small and intimate setting. The waiters looked after us beautifully and they had a full knowledge of the menu and wines available. The kitchen is on view and it was lovely to...

We had the tasting menu there. Food was amazing and the staff was extremely friendly. The room was a little too cold for me sitting there for two ours but other then this it was a great experience.

It was so good that I went two days in a row.. One of the best dining experiences! Will be back on my next trip Love Elsy.

I'm not sure I can add anything new to the other reviews - all I can say is it was a top-notch meal. Thank you for it.

On a recent trip to Devon for a short holiday, I decided to dine at The Angel one night. It was such a great meal that I and my friend dined here the following night as well. The Angel is an exceptional fine dining restaurant....

First class food, great wine choice and very friendly and helpful staff. We weren’t rushed, good explanation of each dish of our tasting menu.

This is my second trip to the extraordinary place. The first was in February 2020 and it's still awesome. We have friends who lived nearby and they're regular at this place run by chef Elly Worthington. Apparently, she is famous in the UK from TV...

We were so very impressed with this restaurant. Ellie was so polite as was her front of house waiting staff. The food we were served was exquisite I’ve never tasted better. Ellie and her awesome team looked after us and made us feel like we...

One of our holiday highlights has to be our meal at The Angel Taste of Devon. From the first taste of the crab arancini, to the final mouthful of the beautiful raspberry millefeuille - was incredible flavour and texture combinations you just wanted to savour. Plus the location is great for people watching and the service was great- especially when Elly Wentworth came over for a chat at the end of our meal (major fan girl moment after watching her amazing dishes on Great British Menu). Such a fab meal!

We booked this place on the internet for our 20th wedding anniversary, then they phoned back the day before to cancel saying they had d double booked, NOT HAPPY, would love to write a review but can't.

Our welcome at The Angel was amazing, Elly Wentworth, the Chef Patron, was out in the Restaurant and greeted us warmly. Elly not only served us food, chatted about where we had eaten before and where we were going next, but was also busy at the pass given direction to her team, also, due to staff shortage, she became her own pastry chef, cooking the dessert courses herself. A busy lady with high production values in her food and her service. We selected the tasting menu and this began with warm Parmesan polenta served with a topping of spicy Tomato gel and Cherry gel. The tomato one had a bite of chilli to it, making it a perfect foil for the polenta, the cherry one provided an alternative with a sharp flavour, tickling the tongue with pleasure. We then had seeded rye bread and cultured butter. The butter was rich and tangy working really well with the dark earthiness of the rye bread. The next appetiser arrived, this was Gazpacho with peach drops and was served in an Angel Espresso cup, a novel way to serve soup. The flavours of the cold soup was just as I have had them in Spain, but the introduction of the little drops of peach moved this into a British orchard dish - what a wonderful combination and a perfect example of summer food. The first course then arrived, it was Bream with buttermilk, gooseberry dashi and borage oil served with radish and herbs. The tiny pieces of bream at the bottom of the bowl were enhanced by the delicious richness of the buttermilk, the gooseberry added a sharpness which convinced me we had come to the right place. This food is no nonsense in flavour, sharp and tongue tingling, which is just perfect for me. The second course was Milk Cured Liver (Foie) with roasted peach two ways, Sauternes jelly and chamomile. The liver had been cured in the milk for 24 hours and it had taken on a mousse like texture rather than the rougher edge that is sometimes associate with Foie, the peach was sliced on top of the liver and then a thicker segment was angled across the top of that, excellent. The Sauternes jelly worked as a seasoning and with the camomile, flowers and leaves, added a slight sweetness to the milky richness of the rest of the dish Our third course was Roasted Sea Bass with artichoke, heritage tomatoes, tomato puree on a bed of buttered greens with broad beans all in a Lemon Grass Beurre Blanc sauce. Thankfully, this dish was also served with knife, fork and spoon, as the sauce would have been enough for a meal in itself with its complex Asian flavours, but better than that the sauce was a genuine accompaniment to the fresh cooked sea bass which held together perfectly and, much to our delight, had a crispy skin. There was nothing left on either of our plates. Our main course was the Aged Fillet of Red Ruby Beef, silverskin onions, shimeji mushrooms and Horseradish buttermilk. Red Ruby is a Devonshire breed of cattle and it is clear from the flavour of this one that it did not die in vain. The gentle scattering of sea salt on top really brought out the flavour and the onions and shimeji mushrooms were both fun to see and gentle and soft to eat alongside the full flavoured beef. The main was served with Truffle potatoes and a Red Wine jus, the potatoes were very gently whipped and worked well to mop up the rest of the jus, so the plate was as clean at the end as it would have been before it had food added. A real winner of a dish The pre-dessert was Cucumber granita, cucumber balls, curd cheese and 0% gin. Cucumber is one of my favourite summer flavours, so this little taster was lovely. The granita was rich with cucumber flavour and the little cucumber balls added some crunch. The gin was also there to provide the floral flavours, rather than any alcohol hit, so the 0% worked really well The dessert was Dark Chocolate ganache, Dulce, microherbs and Cherry Sorbet again not an excessively sweet dessert, but an extremely tasty one with the sharpness of cherry being used to balance the range of flavours It was a wonderful evening, we were so glad we had made the effort to book

We ate the tasting menu which was quite good and in which some courses were changed at our request. The issue was the very varied pace of service which slowed down markedly as the evening went on. Staff were very pleasant but seemed a little...

We had the tasting menu and were blown away. Everything was exceptional and exciting. They even accommodated my dairy intolerance throughout the menu so I was able to try all the courses too. The beetroot tart was to die for as was the tomato gazpacho...

Had lovely experience at this restaurant and amazing food. I was, however, really baffled by the fact that they only serve a £95 multiple course set menu on Saturdays, as we did not expect or plan for that on our short visit to the area. Apparently there is info about it on the website, but having booked via third party app on google, we missed that info completely, and were looking forward to choosing some of our own dishes rather than agreeing to a set menu. It was quite baffling to find that out already at the restaurant and basically having no way out. Nonetheless, all dishes served were great, and we were offered a substitute to liver dish which we didn’t want to have.

We like the airiness of the large dining room. The food was well prepared and presented. We thought that the prices were slightly higher than one would expect for this type of restaurant. Worth a try if you are prepared to spend £100 a head.

We have wanted to taste Elly’s food since seeing her on Masterchef. We were not disappointed. It was a new tasting menu, which was superb. The staff are really nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening, topped off by meeting Elly at the end. We...

Another amazing visit to The Angel. This time we returned bring our friends with us and it did not disappoint!! Had a wonderful lunch, great service and attention to detail. The food is stunning, well thought out and executed. Will definitely be returning again!!

It had been a while since I dined at The Angel. When I was finally able to have dinner here, I was not disappointed. Elly and her team continue to deliver great food in a very relaxed and friendly restaurant. When I looked around at...

Great ambiance, Elly and the team are really attentive, the food just exquisite, the booking process was great and they were really accommodating.

We had a fantastic evening thanks to Elly and the team. The food was outstanding - the best crab risotto we have ever tasted, the mains (lamb and turbot) were of equal quality and we finished with souffle and parfait that were wonderful. Everything was...

We revisited The Angel last night and feel the restaurant is now even better. There has been a redecoration and new soft furnishings to deaden the noise. Soft jazz music added to the atmosphere. There was a tasting menu or an a la carte menu to choose from. I had the cured salmon and turbot with butter sauce and finally cherry souffle. All were beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. However, the most positive thing was the way they dealt with my husband's garlic allergy. We get so used to him being told what he can't have and very few items left on the menu that he can! At the Angel Ellie came to speak to us and explained all items were possible - just sometimes with a different sauce. So he had lamb as a main with an apricot sauce instead of the jus. It was beautifully cooked and the sauce went well with it. There was a great atmosphere with Ellie front of house looking after all her diners with care and a great sense of humour. We look forward to returning on our next visit.

We came to Dartmouth especially to visit the Angel as I’ve followed head chef Elly on Masterchef & The Great British Menu , all I can say is I’m glad we came, the food was exquisite and the service second to none and the icing...

Had a lovely lunch with my family for my mum’s birthday. Ellie and her team were really attentive (a truffle finish with a Happy Birthday plate) and the most delicious, thought out menu. Very delicious.

Classic style cuisine. Quite a formal feel to the restaurant, sometimes service was a little stilted. Superb Turbot dish. Crab risotto was slightly overcooked. Nice amuse bouche. Price was high, not convinced the cooking was at that price point.
