The Angel in Islington

Can't rate The Angel enough! We visited last Sunday for Sunday lunch and were greeted with such warmth. The staff were so hospitable and the service was amazing. I had the nutroast which I can highly recommend, my hubby the pork belly and my daughter fish and chips. We also had the baked camembert as a sharing starter and it was incredible. The atmosphere is just what you want from a traditional London pub. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you!

Having been rebuffed by the snooty Princess of Shoreditch walked in for a pub lunch to The Angel almost next door - to be received with a warm welcome. The near perfect 8 oz Sirloin with Beef drippings elevated the taste of lager to a different level. Friendly service - not too busy on a Monday afternoon- makes it a great place for solitary reflection and writing. The kind of place Hemingway may have approved of. Give it a try for an unpretentious luncheon experience.

Excellent pub handy for Shoreditch and Old St Station. Remarkably quiet after work, a surprise considering the warm welcome, excellent atmosphere, and great food and beer. Well worth coming back

Very good service, we were treated very nicely. The dinner was served quickly and not at the cost of quality. We had a delicious dinner here and recommend this place to others

Was staying at Travelodge just down the road for a concert and had checked out this pubs website and liked the menu and decided would eat there. Friendly and welcoming staff. I ate late afternoon, pub not very busy but nice place. Food was amazing. Such good food. Grilled goats cheese to start with, with roasted plums and great blood orange and maple dressing. Very nice Pan fried hake was wonderful with a lovely sauce and potatoes. Very well cooked and very nicely presented. Don't often see hake on menus in UK. Really enjoyable and would go back just for this dish. It was a great dish and really enjoyed it. Well done Chef! Had sticky toffee pudding with ginger ice cream for dessert. Don't often do puddings but it it was very nice dessert. All in all a great meal and reasonable prices for central London. A very nice meal and would recommend. Thanks guys for great food and a nice atmosphere

Visited for a drink early afternoon, then saw the food menu and was quickly tempted to order lunch. The fish Goujan sandwich with fries was delicious. Great value and quickly served too, Friendly bar staff and only to happy to help out. Looking forward to returning next month for the weekly quiz night when I’m next in London, got my team of 5 ready! See you in July!!

Super friendly staff, clean, and very good food, would definitely stop by if you are in the area. They host trivia nights as well!

We had a lovely dinner with the family. The beer was great, the food was wonderful, and the staff were friendly. The menu had great variety and we found options for the kids (Schnitzel). We had beef roast, fish, and chicken at our table and they were all cooked perfectly. The veggies were fresh and also cooked perfectly. There are about 10 tables and a bar, so it is small and cozy. It was clean and cared for. We recommend it for a casual night out.

Racist staff !!! ' sub judice' i.e still before the Courts and taking legal action against . Unethical to advise further, however, very prejudice staff ,

Didn't know this pub at all but had booked to go to a gig (Creep Show) at the nearby Village Underground and needed pre-gig beer and food so after a bit of online research, this place looked very suitable, being only 10 minutes walk from the venue, so booked a table for two. It didn't disappoint! On arrival met with friendly staff, good beer (can't go wrong with a couple of jars of Neck Oil) and good food - OK not Michelin 3 star but perfectly delicious pub grub! We were invited to the pub quiz upstairs but with the gig to go to had to pass on that. Would definitely go back, even just for a couple of pints in passing and definitely will be my preferred pre-gig pub when next going to Village Underground. (Great venue by the way but that will have to be in a separate review!)

Staying at the Travelodge just down the road and the 2 of us had a great meal and drinks after a long day exploring London. Would highly recommend.

Found this pub totally by accident and glad we did. It’s got London Pride on tap which, this trip to London, I’ve found difficult to find and the food here is great. The staff are friendly and helpful too. It’s just a nice cosy pub. I’ll have to remember this one for our next UK visit!

Very traditional Victorian/Edwardian London pub. Amazing sirloin steak and brilliant bone marrow sauce. Attentive staff.

Another great little London boozer where the staff are great, choice is good, prices fair (for the area), bar area spotless…BUT THE TOILETS! Don’t NOT go because of this- it’s a great bar! Just a little effort in the bogs makes it a 5!!

Great atmosphere and staff, especially the manager Jaan who has the situation under control. Excellent burger and an authentic pub menu.

location molto accogliente, cibo ottimo, servizio veloce, attento, gentile e disponibile. ci siamo tornate due volte nel corso della settimana in cui siamo state a londra proprio perchè ci siamo sentite coccolate come a casa. raccomandatissimo e da tener presente per un prossimo giro a londra

Good food , nice location, kind staff. A perfect placenta enjoy london food and athmosphere . Recommended!

Passed this place loads of times, but decided to give lunch a try for once. Was impressed with choices, helpful staff who where polite and approachable. found out they do sunday lunches. So we tried it out this last sunday, and really enjoyed it, it come hot and plenty on your plate. defo going back. My husband was happy he could watch the footy too.

We just went in because we were very hungry and it was perfect. Good food, perfect beer and a very charming and helpfull staff!!

Fantastic service here, would recommend to anyone looking for a pub with friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

great beer selection, great vibes, great location, great menu, most importantly - kind eyed manager, will be back <3

Popped in for some food and drinks. They have many more beers than before, and seem to do cocktails as well. Staff is welcoming as well so definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

We had Tuesday evening drinks here with about 20people. We were given a great private room upstairs. Friendly staff and lovely pub nibbles to accompany our drinks. We'll definitely be back again.

Came to the Angel and had good food and super service from Kieran. The staff were amazing and Kieran handled some real difficult customers with confidence and really good manners.

Had a lovely meal in The Angel, although it was nearly spoilt by a rowdy group of young drunk teenagers. One of the bar staff, Kieran, handled the situation like an absolute pro, after asking them to leave, one of the more vocal upstarts tried...

Popped in for a pint to watch a match, very welcoming staff, great range of drinks and comfortable, simple and traditional furnishings and decor. A proper boozer, tastefully moder used and beautifully organised. Friendly central pub, good range of ales, good staff, leather upholstered seating...

Came to the angel with my friends on New Year’s Day, Nicola and Jaan were so so lovely and accommodating - would 100% recommend food also really good!!

We had an amazing time on New Year’s Day ❤️ Nicola and Jaan were so accommodating x food and drinks were amazing. If you are in this area this is the place to go!

I visited for tea on Monday this week and have to say what a great place this is. Couple of minutes walk from the Premier inn hotel near Old St tube, this friendly pub is beautiful inside and the food was the same. Kids had...

Popped in for a quick pint during my stay at the Travelodge just up the road. Lovely pub with good ale and absolutely friendly staff. Totally recommend

Great place. Hardworking staff. Extremely accommodating. Found a way to get us in during euros without a booking so we are very thankful! Will be coming back often.

Great sevice from nicholas. And great food! Fast service. Rally nice vibes. Good choice of beers. Not too noisy.

Perfectamente bien pub, con los sospechosos habituales de barril. Sin embargo, muy decepcionado con mis fichas! El menú prometía triple cocido, pero lo que llegó fueron chips de grasa básicos, precortados y posiblemente horneados. Para 4 . 25 esto fue muy descarado, y se quedaron. Como nosotros

Great staff, food and ambience to chill with friends and colleagues after a day in the office. Highly recommended, Traditional London boozer in heart of London’s technology centre, right on the silicon roundabout.

Stopped at this pub for a late lunch - my travel companion has allergies to gluten, soy and quinoa. The barman could not have been more helpful, offering a taste of wine before we purchased a glass and double checking allergens and advising on food...

I swear it used to be amazing atmosphere but since couple people left this friendly pub turn into only money maker so we don’t feel as welcomed anymore... such a shame because it was one of our local pubs ...

Bra och trevlig pub med bra mat. Hyggliga priser. Rekommenderas. Ligger nära Old Street Station på Northern line. Är den...

Great pub for a quiz on Monday night. Super friendly bar staff and a cute location definitely would recommend

Me and my friends been sitting on 1st floor in front of huge, projector, drinking good beer, served by big eyed smiling girl Carolina. She made us feel welcomed and was serving as we needed, RIGHT IN THE MOMENT. Thank you very much the Angels ;)

We,ve been in this lovely pub satruday 23/2/19 to watch six nations. I cant tell anything else EXCELLENT she was smiley, funny, quick, and made for us great rugby atmosphere. Thank you for that afternoon.

Nice pub with good service perfect beer and we had good time because of blonde manager which was taking care of us. Thanks we enjoy that

Paramos aquí para tomar una copa temprano en la noche antes de ir a comer. Estábamos con nuestra hija adolescente, por lo que nos resulta difícil ir a tomar algo, ya que hay bastantes pubs que no admiten niños. Pub de estilo antiguo con ambiente moderno, el ambiente era bueno, así que terminamos parándonos a tomar una copa más antes de continuar. El personal era amable.

Gran pub no muy lejos de la estación de Old Street, no comimos aquí, pero tuvimos algunas bebidas.

La comida está bien, 0 ambiente. Nunca he estado en un bar donde el personal del bar parezca que no quieren clientes. No es mucho que esperar en un bar de aspecto agradable, es una sonrisa y una cálida bienvenida. La chica detrás de la barra no debería estar trabajando en hospitalidad, nunca he visto a nadie tan interesado en su trabajo y mira a los clientes con disgusto cuando hacen su pedido. Lamento interrumpirte en tu teléfono. Vale la pena entrar para ver qué tan malo es. Solo para agregar no es la niña hispana, ella está bien. Diviértete bajo tu propia responsabilidad.

Las camareras eran absolutamente horribles. La comida se retrasó por más de una hora y media y se hizo sentir como si fuera nuestra culpa. Fueron groseros y una vez que nos quejamos dos veces, intentaron ofrecer brownies para tratar de aplacar nuestra comida tardía.

Traditional but young to old clients and generally lively, goof atmosphere. Some good pub food, range of beers but limited wine choice. Menu changes regularly with the manager in charge.

Popped in here for a couple after a night at O2. Staff were friendly but the cider had a slight tang to it. Not a brewery I'd encountered before though so stuck with it. Then I went to the loo which was a disgrace, no way it could be used so had to leave. Staff then were totally disinterested. Won't be back.

Decent place. On two floors. Friendly staff, decent menu. Shows SkySports. Plenty of people in the evenings. Good oif you live / work in the area.

Para visitar Londres, cerca del distrito de Shoreditch en Londres, descubrimos la gente Angel y ver el mundial de fútbol. . Mi esposa es colombiana, así que tuvimos que ver el partido en Londres! ! ! Qué experiencia tan maravillosa, no podía dejar después del partido. . Toda la creación no nos dejaron salir, todo el mundo disfrute de la victoria de Colombia, y nos que el invitado de honor. . .

I work close to this pub so its our default post work venue. Overall its a decent pub, good staff, food menu looks ok but I've not eaten there personally. My only issue is the strong smell of cleaning product in the bar. Im very happy they thoroughly clean the place but there's always a strong stench of chemical cleaning products when ever i been there. A few drinks later you don't notice it but i would recommend the manager look into changing products as it can be off-putting and is reminiscent of a swimming pool.

Tuve la salchicha y puré de patatas y mi colega tuvo la ensalada César. La ensalada era una gran porción y parecía delicioso. La salchicha y puré era caliente y deliciosa. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Lo recomiendo para la comida

Pub parece muy bonita en el exterior, y es tan bonito cuando fuimos. El personal era muy agradable, y hay algunas cervezas de barril. La comida era buena y había una bonita selección disponible. La segunda planta está bien. Nos sentamos en la habitación de al lado, que era agradable y tranquilo. En general muy bien. Curioso si uso la palabra lo suficientemente agradable si se detiene como un verdadero palabra. Eso está bien.

Fuimos allí con mi novio y el personal era muy amable y servicial que nos reservamos mesa en arriba lado y ha sido increíble y super romántico. La comida era estupenda y el nuevo menú es simplemente perfecto.

Cuando compro una bebida que esperan un buen servicio al cliente, el pasado viernes noche 18/05 / 18 me di cuenta de que la camarera sólo pour la mitad de la tónica de la botella en el gin tonic que pedí. Cuando dije que un cliente siempre recibe la botella completa ella parecía perpleja, me di cuenta de que había 4 botellas vacías en frente de las botellas de bebidas alcohólicas. Supongo que al hacer esto hacen el doble de dinero si un cliente no se da cuenta de lo que el personal del bar. También la grúa estaba en un vaso grande que pondría en refrescos, se esperaría un buen vaso poner licores En y también no espero 7 grandes pedazos de hielo en el vaso. Así que pedí ver al director que luego pregunta cuál es el problema y, a continuación, dicho explicó para mí calma bien no estaría como este si su personal no estaba intentando con mí. Me dieron una nueva bebida en un buen vaso con solo 2 piezas de hielo lo que pedí, que podría haber sido mejor por ofrecerme la bebida en la casa, Si mi crítica no hubiera sido tan malo, pero no, así que no entraré por la actitud de la gerente y su personal, no hay nada peor que alguien tratando de timar.

Nuevo menú sólo me sorprendió con pescado increíble y sabroso pasteles realmente increíble como puedo decir que este es un lugar no sólo para las bebidas, pero la comida es buenísima así

I came here on a Friday and had a great time. It was not too busy, found a table easily. I had some very nice Camden Hells on tap, I had not had it before. London prices. Staff was very nice and the atmosphere relaxing.

We are quite local so we can say big YES for these guys lovely stuff helpful sometimes really busy but still professional 😊😊😊

Gutes Pub grab (Burger, Fish & Ships) zu pubüblichen Preisen. Sehr freundliche Bedienung, angenehmes Publikum, laut, wie es sich für einen Pub gehört.

... in welchem die Londoner aus der Umgebung nach Feierabend ihr Bier oder das, was sie so nennen ;-) trinken. Tipp: Falls es sehr voll ist, findet man im Obergeschoss sicher noch ein Plätzchen.

Nous avions prévu de déjeuner ailleurs mais a cause de l'attente, nous sommes aller plus loin et avons découvert ce restaurany. La formule de midi proposait divers sandwich grillés et frites + boisson à 9£ était très bien. L'équipe était attentionnée et le décor vintage de très bon goût. Nous avons passez un bon moment !

The Angel ligger precis bredvid Old Street station och är en himla mysig och intim kvarterspub. Personalen är proffsig och...

Este es un lugar que ofrece a los clientes una visión de lo que un buen pub como debe ser. El personal amable y acogedor bar en húmedo de enero por la tarde. Un gin con gin caliente bebedores paraíso. En su lugar fui ruibarbo...

Yo vengo a la visita de Angel en forma regular, esta vez intenté su rollo de salchichas. Que era muy sabroso y muy bien preparado con hojaldre rapping, también tuve patatas fritas con que hacía un abundante almuerzo. El personal, como siempre me hacen sentir...

Solemos ir para una comida tailandesa en Navidad. . No muy tradicional. Así que este año nos comprometió a encontrar algún sitio cerca que tenía un menú de Navidad. Elegimos el Angel porque tenía un menú variado con algo para todo el mundo. Llegamos a...

The Angel ended up being our "local" on a recent visit to London staying in a nearby flat just down...

Pagamos 13 libras por la mitad chichen y patatas fritas. Tenía una textura de pollo muy raro. Tanto mi amigo y yo no se siente genial después de comer. No estoy seguro de si estaba congelado, y cocinamos mal, o tenía demasiado mantequilla. . . De todos modos no comprarla.

Muy común, la de arriba, que era más tranquilo y unos menús en estos momentos. La comida está bien pero un poco cansado!

Utilizamos la planta 1 calle a celebrar nuestra fiesta de compromiso y no podríamos haber estado más contentos con el servicio recibido. El personal era atento, amable y muy atento en el evento y el día transcurrió perfectamente gracias a su ayuda. El lugar es impresionante y la comida era estupenda. Me gustaría dar las gracias a todos los que hicieron que el día fuera tan memorable.

Went here for lunch today - they make quite a big deal of their menu and kitchen on the website so was looking forward to it. The reality was quite different. The pub was reasonably busy, but not packed. we got a table upstairs and ordered at the bar downstairs, but had to wait 15-20 mins to order drinks and food. There was only one person serving behind the bar, pouring drinks and taking food orders at the same time, and she was so busy that she didn't have time to figure out who'd been there a while, so walk-ins got served before people who'd been waiting a while.We finally placed an order and went back to our table. The first meals arrived after about 30 mins, but one meal was missing and a curry didn't have any rice with it. Despite asking about five times where the other food was (it's coming) it never materialised. I didn't get any lunch at all after waiting 75 minutes. When we got up to leave and asked for a refund on my meal, they produced my sandwich and seemed surprised that I didn't want it - after my two colleagues had finished eating and I had to get back to the office.All in all, a pretty poor experience. I feel sorry for the staff as there didn't seem to be anywhere near enough to run the bar, but I wouldn't bother going back again.

Good pub for a quick drink! Service was good, and very efficient staff. The bar staff can give you a taste of a preferred drink if you are unsure! Overall, good experience. For sure will be back.

Saturday evening - the service which we received was great, big thanks to Justina, who made our evening! Atmosphere is chilled and interior is cool too (especially the chandeliers). If you ever around Old street station give it a try. Good selection of drinks from draft beers to spirits!

Decent menu (could do with more veggie options) and good deal with the sandwich option.I ordered an asparagus risotto...which was served without the asparagus!! And I also found a hair in my food.Won't be returning!

Four of us went there for drinks after we ate out on 9/21.There were a few people behind the bar, two seemed to be waiters (one male, one female) and another one seemed to be a boss-boy.A few customers were waiting at the counter to order some drinks and no one was coming to serve us, as the staff was chatting together at the back of the bar area.Despite waving at them, calling them and tapping on the bar, it took several moments for a staff member to come get our orders... and of all people, it was the boss-boy.Poor guy didn't know anything except for the beers... and it was hard to get the glass of wine my wife wanted.Definitely an issue the owner will have to address. As there are so many pubs in London... we figure even locals will do like we did: never return, even though this place was conveniently located just across the street of our AirBnb.

Work related trip to london. 2 meetings, with a couple of hours to pass inbetween. Had skipped breakfast so ready for a good lunch.Lots of places to eat in the areas but mostly Healthy light bites &amp; noodles. Found this pub and liked the look of the menu .Went in for lunch. Nice tradional pub with a modern stripped back feel. Wooden floors, tables benches and chairs.Good selection of meals, salads and light bites. I had the chicken &amp; advocado in rustic roll, colleague had haullume rainbow salad. All good freshly cooked/ prepared. Very good price. Good buzz to the place and wasn't too busy on a Wednesday lunch time. Would recomend this pub for a lunch time meal.

Not much great to say about this pub, it is quite pretty, although extremely busy on weekday evenings, so very loud inside, which means a lot of people end up standing outside, on the very limited street space. The bar staff could certainly do more to ingratiate themselves with their customers, for instance a wasp flew into my friend’s almost entirely full drink and the barmaid refused to replace it for her; given the amount of wastage pubs accrue from their beer taps, this could have been replaced very easily for a minimal cost to them, and would have been a much nicer touch than the way it was handled in this case.

We went in for a bite to eat at 1.30pm. The Angel has a sandwich with chips and drink for £9 meal deal. It seemed fair value for central London. We waited nearly 45 minutes for the sandwiches to arrive, I got mine and finished it before my colleague got hers. The staff did apologise and gave her a free drink to compensate. When it arrived she said her chicken and avocado sandwich was very nice. Her chips were also quote good. I had a steak and caramelised onion sandwich which fairly average and some small chips that were probably the small ones at the end of a bag - and not the same as my colleagues.

Ticked all four things we wanted. Dog friendly, food, toilet, gin. Excellent. Ace staff, cool vibe, good booze (Camden hells!).

Exactly what we were looking for whilst wondering around London in the rain, ticked all the boxes! Would come again :-)

We had 4 boxes that needed ticking: Dog friendly, Has a toilet, Serves chips and Has good gin. It ticked every one. Thank you.

Crowded city drinkers pub. Plenty of lager and IPA to keep the lads tanked up. However, the bar staff are way too cool to actually manage the serving people bit. They are understaffed, but that doesn't stop them disappearing, polishing glasses and failing to notice the queue at the bar. You may die of thirst waiting.

What a canny little boozer with a great selection of drinks and some stunning decor. A warm friendly welcome was received when we turned up on Saturday lunchtime. A really lovely bar but just a shame there was no outside area to enjoy the sunshine.

Best place I've been to in a while for a Saturday afternoon. Lovely sunny day and a lovely pub in east london

This pub is not only the best place in the city on a weekend, but Joss and Becky are the best bar staff in the United Kingdom; bar none.

Literally the greatest place on earth They even had Clwb Tropicana from stint Rebel. What a place. Amazing.

Jos and Becky were amazing hosts. Food was great. One of the best pubs I've been to in London. Had a great time.

Quick meal eaten here in late afternoon was pretty good. Fish and chips were very nice indeed. Efficient and friendly service with some decent beers too.We were rushing so didn't really savour the atmosphere but it seemed OK to us.Would we go back? Yes we would as long as the pub is reasonably quiet!

As the title says, there have been Big changes since our last visit to the Angel, of old the Angel was a typical English oldie worldie pub,Now the Angel has had a complete refurbishment the old bar has gone and i now believe it is more of a foodie establishment with bright decor. Still we enjoyed a few drinks here.

Klein aber fein.Eine gemütliche kleine Eck-Kneipe (Pub) auf der City-Road.Das Personal ist sehr nett und freundlich.

Regular after work, really great place to hang out out. Close to old street tube which is super handy.

Lovely place to enjoy cheese and wine on the way through to Shorditch. A relaxing pub with the odd stag do passing through. Just near old street roundabout. Beach volleyball girls and boys come here on Sunday after training at Shorditch park beach court on warm weekends.

Pub próximo ao hotel que estávamos hospedados, o lugar tem uma decoração típica de pub e lindíssima! As refeições foram ótimas e o atendimento melhor ainda!

We went with friends and the fish &amp; chips, the sausage, the fries and the salade were great. I don't recommand the steak. The beer was very good, a nice wine list, very good brownies. The service was more than excellent. It was very busy.

Had walked in the local area looking for somewhere for lunch and came across The Angel. Great to find a 'non brand' place for lunch.Casual atmosphere during lunchtime, very polite staff and a great choice of food/drink. Decor is very nice with quiet background music.Definitely recommended.

Popped in here for lunch midweek. Sadly the sandwich I wanted was not available so I went for the Welsh rarebit, it was ok but the chips were delicious.Service was quick and attentive.

We only stayed for drinks but the atmosphere at this pub was great. Good for people watching, service was very attentive. Truly a good experience. Fine choice of beers. Food looked good, though.

Great pub. Friendly staff remember me from one week to the next. Grady beers and good value wines. We've eaten a couple of times and we're impressed with the food - good menu and good value. Loved the mushrooms on toast. Cheeseboard is outstanding!!

J'ai passé un super moment la-bas. Ambiance très chaleureuse, une equipe au top a l'écoute, manager present prêt a répondre aux attentes du client, une proposition de bières variés et différentes, et qu'elle plaisir de pouvoir regarder un match sur le projecteur a l'étage. Un pub que je recommande vivement.

Notre bar fétiche quand on se retrouve dans le district d'Angel &gt; Super ambiance avec une équipe hyper accueillante et toujours à l'écoute de ses clients, un burger proche de la perfection et une meantime pale ale servit avec amour par le manager qui est aux petits soins avec tout le monde !

Tres bel endroit , pub typique et moderne a la fois , superbe equipe agreable et avenante ,principalement le directeur tres elegant , la carte est riche et variee et prix tres abordable pour le quartier . Passage obligatoire pour y manger ou boire un verre .

Bel endroit. Très chaleureux, à la française avec les barmans. La bière y est TOP (la chimay) ainsi que les bloody mary Côté nourriture très bon Fish and chips Établissement à recommander
