Eight of us turned up at just before 22:30 after having a curry and because I took “too long” to choose what to drink, and they didn’t even have it, they refused to serve me, even though my mates all got served. Then for the next half an hour all we got was the staff telling us to hurry and drink up because they were closing at 23:00. (What kind of pub closes at 11pm???) Then we went outside to to their front open beer garden (open access from the road) to finish our drinks and then they still carried on telling us to hurry up and leave. First and last visit.

Couldn't keep out of this place on a recent mid-week stay in Woodbridge. Roaring fire, a great choice of ales, live music and friendly staff (top marks to the girl with the long red hair). A real treat here was the massive selection of gins with mixers and garnishes to match - Mon to Thur at special prices - fantastic value! Above mentioned member of bar staff was knowledgeable and offered great advice on good combinations. My husband loved the Encore ale too. A must for any gin lovers visiting Woodbridge. Highly recommended.

We sat outside in the evening at The Angel to enjoy a drink on holiday last week. We were lucky enough to have the great weather. The staff were friendly and there was plenty of seating. I wasn't a fan of the sauvigion blanc and my husband wasn't a fan of the lager unfortunately. I feel that the beer garden could have looked a bit friendlier and prettier too.

A really great range of seating for small or larger groups, good choice of ales and wines and the gins of course. A proper pub that has a hipster vibe without the pretension or man-buns. So modern but old fashioned if you get my drift. A great place to stop off or hang about as long as you luke

Called in here on the first evening of our holiday as we were staying in a property across the road, so very convenient. The owners were very friendly and there was a good selection of real ales and gins, however the pub itself left a lot to be desired. It was rather scruffy, with ‘stuff’ piled up behind one of the bars and in public areas. Shame, because it could be a great little pub.

Popped in yesterday whilst on our first visit to Woodbridge, stayed for about 3 hours. Great variety of gins and almost as many tonics. Every gin served with thought as to the purchaser's taste and the style of the gin. Good ale choice. Very reasonable prices, friendly landlord. We'd go back to Woodbridge for many reasons but definitely this pub.

My wife and I visited here on a recent trip to Woodbridge. We went in not knowing it was a Gin Bar and I myself was particularly impressed being a big Gin fan. The owner was really knowledgeable about the Gin and she served me some lovely ones i had not tried before. The selection was really impressive and it would take many a drunken night to sample the lot for sure. All i tried were served with a good selection of tonics and fruits to compliment the gin. We really enjoyed our visit here. If your a Gin fan it’s a “must do”.

Sarah’s knowledge of the gin she had on offer/ the exact botanicals as well as which variety of tonic water to put with it was endless!

Watching the bar staff wipe their nose up their arm and then serve us a drink was not a highlight. Was not the quaint little country pub we had hoped, more a place for the young local crowd to go on a Saturday night. There are nicer pubs for tourists to experience in the town, I would avoid unless you like silent discos!

We visited Christmas Eve it was busy as you would expect, it’s a lovely old English pub that has craft ales, and lots and lots and lots of gin. We had seven gin and tonics and all were different, all of them lovely. The staff have amazing knowledge and the drinks are lovely. I have read several comments about people waiting while locals are served well we are not local and have been several times at different times of the year and never had an issue.

While waiting at the bar the landlady (I'm guessing) ignored me to serve two separate regulars. One was just sitting at the bar reading and wasn't even waiting to be served and the other walked in and was standing three or four feet behind me. I went to the bar later and she was talking to someone who had already been served and ignored me again. When someone I knew came to the bar, who happens to be a regular, I told them, they stood next to me and got served immediately!

Fuimos a Woodbridge específicamente para ir al ángel para almorzar y probar su extensa colección de gin. Como nos enteramos, no abren hasta las 2 de la tarde y no sirven comida! De todos modos, fuimos a comer en otro lugar y después volver a la Angel probar algunas ginebras. Aunque tienen 250 diferentes ginebras, no ir demasiado tonto! Mi marido tenía 3, TUVE 2 y tuvimos 1 entre nosotros! Eran todos unos cócteles y muy diferente con algunos arreglos interesantes y mezclarlas. color granate y albahaca, hibiscus, etc. deja El propietario sabía lo suyo y fue muy agradable chap y sugirió a nosotros cócteles diferentes, todas las cuales disfrutamos. Bien merece una visita si te gusta la ginebra. Soy un bebedor de vodka ávido - ahora convertido! Nos las arreglamos para ir andando a la estación para tomar el tren a casa de woodbridge!

Un grupo de nosotros fuimos a la Angel para bebidas antes de la cena porque queríamos probar algunas de las muchas ginebras en oferta. Por desgracia, sólo había un glassful del Sol Naciente izquierda, Adnams y a pesar de la camarera diciendo que le daría una selección de ginebras, tres de nosotros terminamos con la misma grúa. La verdad es que era muy bonito (y dos de nosotros pedimos otra) pero hubiera sido bueno tener un gin diferentes cada uno.

I really enjoyed my visit to this pub, it had a lovely atmosphere. However, given it's unique selling point is it's selection of gins I was somewhat disappointed. The selection was extremely wide which I'm defiantly not complaining about. The issue was that there was no gin list detailing the different flavours in the gins which meant I simply had to pick a gin that had an interesting looking bottle as they were too far away and the pub too busy for me to look at the individual bottles. I feel my experience would've been complete if this simple element was added in. On the whole a very enjoyable evening but would've been streets better with a gin list.

Really lovely pub. Nice homely feel and the staff couldn't have been friendlier, or indeed more knowledgeable on their vast, VAST Gin collection.If you're a Gin fan, the Angel certainly needs to be somewhere you make a pilgrimage to at least once, and if you want to try everything they have to offer, you'll probably need to go more than once. (Understatement of the century).Apparently they're also working on an app so you can keep a log of your gin adventures there and still know by your 5th or 6th what the first was.Really highly recommended, intending to make it a regular haunt.

A big thank you to Chris and his team for a fantastic birthday lunch for my husband. We chose the pub for their 200 plus gins, it being one of his favourite tipples. Chris kept different versions of a g&t coming throughout the visit - all of which were lovely. His knowledge of how to make a version to suit your taste is second to none and he has created a gin lover's idea of paradise!The food was also lovely - crab starter was delicious and the roast beef beautifully cooked.We then sat enjoying some more of the gin and real ales on offer whilst being entertained by the live guitarists they had in, who were great. All in all a fabulous afternoon thanks to the very friendly welcome, relaxed atmosphere and home-from-home feel. The pub is dog friendly too. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

One of our party of four was a bit sniffy about how unspoilt this pub was but we loved it. (Finding a pub which hasn't had a makeover can be really difficult these days). Almost all of the patrons were eating and having had a meal, we can understand why. As soon as we went in I was impressed by the (for these days) relatively short menu (which I see as a good rather than bad sign). Our meal was restaurant standard. Three of us had Dover sole (couldn't fault it), the fourth had bangers and mash. We were all very happy. Two of us had deserts (panna cotta and creme brulee) and they were excellent - the presentation of my panna cotta was surperb. The service was excellent (our waiter happily bought drinks from the bar for us).

The Angel served good honest pub grub at a fair price - and on a Sunday evening! We thought we would have to go hungry as most places were either booked up or, for many, didn't serve food on Sunday evenings. We had an enjoyable meal, tasted some unusual gin and were made very welcome at the Sunday night quiz. We are not regular quizzers but this was not too specialised (except for the round on Suffolk village anagrams) and helped make it a good night out.

We orderd two meals and a starter of calamari,excellent calamari,bucket of chicken wings not too good,we had to look inside the bucket to see if there were any wings.need to consider your portion size ,6 wings is not a bucket even a small once.Unfortunately the wings are not cooked in the sauce ,so pretty tasteless. The other main course we had was the lamb burger ,which was good and I did like the home style chips with skins on.Service could be improved,plates removed before next course arrives,I think better communications between staff would generally improve the overall delivery.Generally felt the whole place could do with a spring clean,would we go back not certain I would.

We've been to The Angel several times & the food's always been ok. The last time we went we had a Sunday lunch which was below average and thought maybe they were having an off day but we've been back again for an evening meal and the food quite frankly was dreadful. I had a vegetable lasagne which was over cooked on the top, hardly any sauce, the vegetables were undercooked and hard (even small slithers of carrot) the second layer of lasagne was undercooked and flowery with no sauce at all, the chips were over cooked and brown, there was a small salad which was ok. I had two people with me, one had the fish and chips, the fish was ok but again the chips were over cooked and the other person had a 6oz burger with chips. The burger was undercooked inside and the chips burnt.I don't know what's going on there, if they've had a change of kitchen staff or don't really care about the food side but we won't eat there again....shame because it could've been a great place.

I have to admit that I am biased because the Angel is my local pub but on this cold November evening it was wonderful to walk up the hill into a welcoming pub with a crackling wood fire in the hearth. Will and Lou behind the bar were cheerful and efficient, the real ale was just right, my wife's sauvignon blanc was just right but the steak, fries, salad and glass of Malbec was superb. After a number of weekly visits to enjoy this mid week special we have been very impressed by the unwavering standard of the meal.

Combines olde worlde charm with characterful fun-loving clientele. Six real ales and 186 different choices of gin (and rising).Clean, comfortable & welcoming. Log fire. Affordably priced good quality food. Even a "cigar park" for the cigar smoker in the patio beer garden. Car park.Well run by Chris & Sarah with help from cheerful intelligent staff. More challenging drinks such as blisteringly hot chili vodka also available to the "adventurous." I had eaten before I discovered The Angel, so have had to leave the dining experience until my next visit.My only regret is I don't live closer!

Visited this pub a number of times and never fails to impress. Great atmosphere and a roaring fire during the winter! Huge selection of Gins and Rums makes the angel well worth a visit!

Although the food was of average quality the welcome and atmosphere of the quaint old pub was very warm and welcoming. The prices were about average for the sort of standard pub food menu.The staff were particularly welcoming and friendly. They couldn't have been more helpful and obliging.Two open fires added to the feeling of a very pleasant place to spend a couple of hours. The seats in the dining area were hard so perhaps some seat pad cushions would add to the comfort.

My taxi driver told me this was a good eating-type pub, and if the shepherd’s pie I had was anything to go by, he was right. It was excellent - obviously home-made. Decent beer too. It was very full when I went, on a Saturday night, so if you want to have supper there on Saturday it might be wise to book.

We arrived in Woodbridge for a family holiday late afternoon on Monday 18th Feb with no idea where we could eat that evening. There were some recommendations in the cottage info book.. The crown, the riverside.. Neither of which looked family friendly (2 adults, 2 seven yr old boys)- prezzo turned us away because they were too busy till after 7pm even through we could see tables. We popped into the red lion because dogs are welcome, they weren't doing food because they are having a new kitchen fitted BUT, they recommended The Angel, and we are so glad they did! They told us it was family friendly, good food and allow dogs - perfect, we collected our pooch.We didn't know there was a market hill, there's a violin shop - I've never seen one of those before! We carried on up the square and just tucked behind on the right hand side is 'The Angel'. The door said no entry after 10.30pm and that ID might be required, and we wondered what we were letting ourselves in for! Don't be put off. Inside was just the best pub experience - the type you rarely find but once you do the memory stays with you for a long long time. This pub is not interior designed, it's not formulaic. It's original, warm and friendly. Our dog received his own bowl of water and little bone shaped doggy treats. The barmaid was chatty and friendly and fantastic in her recommendations. The wine was delicious and the food freshly cooked with a pride and flair, my dairy free request was no problem. We had calamari - beer battered with alioli, olives, humous and crostini. The boys had home made burger & chips (predictable, but sooo good) husband had home made chicken Kiev and I had moules and frites. We could have been more adventurous in our choices but we were in need of good old fashioned comfort food, and that's what we got. There was live music on later - a regular Monday night thing. We were finished, full and off to our beds before it started, but in another life we would have loved to stay all evening at that pub, surrounded by books and friendly people with the fires roaring. I imagine it would be a great Sunday lunch with the papers pub too.Yum!

My wife and I stopped at this roadside pub on our journey home after a lovely Valentine’s weekend break and what a surprise it was – the husband and wife who run the pub offer an incredible extensive range of Gin’s, over 100 different bottles!We were amazed at the different blends on offer, the majority of which we had never heard of, and at the detailed knowledge the they had about any of the Gin’s we asked about. We eventually tried the Adnams First Rate and ‘Liff’ Gin, with tonic of course.It also had welcoming log fires in both sides of the pub.

We popped in, without booking, for a late midweek lunch. I hadn't been here before, but my wife had had previously had a good solo lunch here.Warm, friendly and efficient welcome from the young barman, who pointed out there were spaces on the other side of the pub. Very comfortable atmosphere with sofas, variety of chairs and clearly a popular pub with interaction between customers and staff. We looked at the menu and and the barman brought over a board with today's specials. It was very much pub, rather than "gastropub" food, but both dishes we had were well presented, tasty and very good value. Their selection of gins and mixers is truly impressive, and any gin enthusiast must visit. Their wine sheet was perfect for the place - small but well chosen selection of very reasonably priced wines. I just had a glass of their "house" red, which was good. So this was a very enjoyable quick and simple lunch, in very comfortable surroundings, at a great price. The place has personality, so that is why we would come back here rather than go to a national chain pizza place!

Good beer, a welcoming landlord and landlady, no machines, good food, roaring fire in the winter months, occasionally the odd music session, welcomed if you stop just for quick pint or a longer session. Better than just good pub grub.

This is a lovely old pub with a welcoming fire burning on a cold days and evenings. They have a five pound lunch, which can't be beat - love the fish pie and a good assortment of beer on tap. I love the atmosphere, the sense of history one has in this little pub at the top of Angel Lane. There are usually a few local dogs at their master's feet and good conversation. Totally recommend.

A charming , genuine, timbered building, with log fires to greet you, together with a warm welcome. Despite arriving too early for the kitchen to be open, our request for food asap - to get to a concert - was no trouble for mine host and the kitchen, and two delicious plates of chargrilled prawns with salad arrived well before the stated 6.30 opening time. Beautifully cooked, well presented, with warm bread on the side, followed by delicious house ice creams. Good service, quality and value in charming surroundings - what more could you ask?

This is a great find here in Woodbridge, Just off the Main Market Square. The Angel team are friendly and the food is superb value and always fresh. You can tell from the taste, it is locally sourced and is cooked to you order. I actually have to stop myself from going everyday!!!

This place is one of the better pubs i have seen for a while! The food is good with fresh tastes and excellent value. There is a barmaid there who keeps a good eye on things and attends to every guest in a really timely manner. The selection of Gins and Rums must not be missed

We both love food but can't remember what we ate or whether it was nice. You might think this a strange review but it encapsulates how both reliable but unextraordinary the meal was. we had initially tried for a table on the Saturday night but it was full and they kindly gave us a voucher for 10% the next time we wanted a table - nice touch.

We visited here first based on its great Trip Advisor reviews. We managed to get a table but sitting is limited. The food is undeniably good but I did not find the environment as warm as I had anticipated. Been back for lunch since and similar type of feeling.

We reserved a table at the Angel having seen some of the comments on Trip Advisor. Service went from bad to worse as upon arrival we had to stand and wait in the restaurant section until finally the young lady behind the bar finished her conversation with another member of staff and spoke to us. We were told to sit at the table with our name on it only to discover it was already occupied by a man looking at his laptop with another man leaning over him - neither made any attempt to acknowledge us or move (bearing in mind that at this point we were the only other people there). The young lady told us to sit somewhere else and as there was only one other table without a reserved sign, we were left with no choice but to squeeze pass the man on his laptop, who again made no effort to move to allow us to pass, and sit at a table that felt like it was about to collapse at any time. We told the staff member that we weren't prepared to sit there and she moved a reserved sign from another table. She spoke to the two men who were sitting at our original table (I think at least one was a member of staff!!) and neither made any attempt to move or apologise for the inconvenience. By this time, we decided as a family that we had no intention of parting with any money at an establishment that treated its customers so appaulingly and got up and walked out. Within 5 minutes, I received a telephone call (having left my number when making the booking) asking us why we had left and what the problem was ..... my response was simply that we had been treated very poorly. Fortunately we were able to find another restaurant in Woodbridge were the service was excellent and we had a wonderful meal.

We chose the Angel for a mid week meal and it was very good. The menu is fairly broad ranging with choices to suit meat, fish and veggie eaters and they have an early bird menu with a main course for just £6! The Angel has a very good range of wine by the bottle or the glass and a number of cask bitters at a very reasonable price. A proper pub with welcoming hosts, good food, and good wine and beer - what more could you ask for?We shall definitely go there again soon.

Tried to arrange our engagement party here and is the worst communication and service from the event organiser I have ever received. Constantly ignored even when it got to the point of going into the sea you to speak to the lady who organises. Had to keep chasing for responses and in the end was just ignored and never got back to. Is a real shame as we really liked the cafe there but will not be returning after the way we were treated.
