The Angel at Burford in West Oxfordshire

First time at The Angel, en route to The Forest of Dean. It was great all round. For a Monday lunchtime this quaint pub was buzzing. Whilst we were there they had to turn lots of people away as they were fully booked. There was a roaring log burner - always welcome! The food was delicious. A lovely selection and appetising specials also. The beetroot ravioli was delightful as was the chilli squid (which can easily be chewy!) but it was soft and flavoursome. And as for the special chocolate fondant - stunning! Will definitely be back!

Super venue, friendly staff, lovely welcome, fabulous food !

Busy, dog friendly pub with plenty of parking and loads of outside tables. Not cheap but really good quality well cooked food.

Beautiful place to eat, the staff are wonderfully welcoming and the food is just fabulous and beautifully presented. We'll definitely be back - thank you team Angel x

We had Sunday lunch, which was lovely, I had roast beef & my husband the roast pork, would have loved some extra gravy & a larger amount of horse raddish sauce.

My son and I had an excellent lunch - great place to meet halfway. Food, service and ambience all excellent. Will definitely return.

We have just had a lovely meal ..I am planning a return trip to try the fig and almond tart! The pie and especially the pastry was great..loved the croquettes and sole too..thank you!

Very nice Cornish Sole and Steaks, very good service.

My wife and I had lunch at The Angle and, as always, it was excellent. The food was great and the staff were as good as ever. If you’re ever in Burford and fancy a lovely meal, lunch or dinner, I’d definitely recommend you give The Angel a try.

Lovely fish pie! Shared Camembert as a starter. Enjoyed glass of Picpoul and cafetière of decaffeinated coffee. Have been before and will go back. Thank you

We found this pub last week and drove an hour and a half back just for the roast dinner. Amazing food, staff are so lovely & overall wholesome Sunday pub vibes

It was a wonderful place and the food was amazing, we had ribeye steak and it was perfectly done to our request. We also had malbec and that was a great accompaniment too. The service was perfect, the town amazing and the actual venue full of charm and character.

Always brilliant. Great food and lovely staff. Superb atmosphere and good value

We had dinner at The Angel last night. Only two of us. The food was delicious, with generous portions and the service was excellent. They returned to the table often, to see if we needed anything. Extremely pleasant staff. We would definitely visit again. All round, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank You 🙏🏻

We had lunch here yesterday with my son and daughter in law. Food was truly amazing and staff so helpful and friendly. Lovely pub garden too. Will definitely go back!

Visited with family for lunch, had the burgers and they were really good. The children's burger was a bit plain but I understand that's how many kids like it but not mine and she ended up eating most of my burger while I had to eat hers. Service was great and very welcoming. We sat in the garden which was lovely and can imagine it would a fantastic place for evening drinks.

the best Steak and ale pie ever absolutely gorgeous staff very helpful and service first class. and a priest hole as well

Warning, this restaurant is garlic mad 😋. 1 oops, my blue rump arrived midium well however it was very nice and tasty (with lots of garlic)

Lovely spot. Comfortable. Kind service.

Visited this pub last Sunday as it had a sign outside that read “Beautiful Garden”! Popped in and yes garden at the rear is beautiful and great for a Sunday lunch setting. What I really liked initially was the pleasant greeting, the organisation of the operation was excellent and the Sunday Roast Beef was worth every penny. Best to book a table so as not to be disappointed having to wait, but the food and service is worth the wait. Well done guys.

Hake and desert was delightful. Unfortunately, I have only desert picture.

Excellent service with a smile. Food was of a very high standard

We enjoyed a lovely lunch with good friends in the pub's secluded sun terrace. All the food and drinks were first class, and the service exceptional.

Really enjoyed our dinner. The service and food was excellent. I'm a vegetarian and although I found the veggie options were limited, the pasta for the main was delicious. I would recommend.

Fish and chips to die for! The fried sesame broccoli was unbelievable, a must try! The staff went above and beyond to cater to us, making a non-alcoholic batter which was really appreciated. Located in a cute little town with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating. A special thank you to Jessica for her lovely service and for being so wonderful.

Nipped in on the off chance as we were driving through and we were very glad we did! From the moment we walked in we had a warm and smiling welcome to the moment we left with a hearty goodbye. The staff were all very friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding and the grounds were lovely. It was our first time to the Cotswolds and we will definitely be back and will be visiting The Angel at Burford again!

We had a very good lunch here today. There were GF options for Coeliacs and the food was well prepared and of very good quality. The photo is of the candy floss Panacotta.

Beautiful food, lovely service. The staff were brilliant and we felt very comfortable.

Fabulous place, great food and staff. We both had the Hake, it was outstanding! Great service by Lexi, who is a treasure that any restaurant should be glad to have.

Staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. The service was excellent and the food was very good.

We had a lovely meal here to celebrate my partners 30th birthday. The staff were very friendly and welcoming they really make you feel at home. There is a great selection of beers and wines including locally sourced products which is a massive thumbs up for us! Deciding what to eat off the menu was made even harder to the daily specials board as everything sounded so good! We wasn’t disappointed with our choices and the handmade pie was AMAZING! This was our 2nd visit to The Angel and we will definitely be back.

A really lovely pub with a beautiful garden, lovely staff and the roast dinner was genuinely one of the best I've ever had. Would definitely return upon visiting Burford.

We enjoyed a lovely pub lunch in the back garden. We found this place on Google Maps, and it had good reviews. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice. Plus, the toilet was clean!

Lovely little pub, excellent food and helpful staff, particularly the landlord. Would recommend to anyone and intend to revisit the next time we are in Burford.

Another successful visit, everything was excellent and the service from the young lady at the tables was brilliant despite that she was clearly very busy. The food is simply the best available in Burford and I have tried them all. Great work.

Really nice staff, good service & good food!

We love our food and have our favourite places around the Cotswolds to return to. This was recommended and is now in our top choices to return and recommend. Beautifully presented, perfect portion sizes and a warm welcome from the staff. A must visit if you are in the area .

Excellent meal in characterful pub atmosphere. We were very well looked after, including our dog, and the food was great quality, freshly prepared and well presented. Just great all round. Would highly recommend.

Friendly staff, excellent food and reasonable prices. I loved the terrace garden, pet-friendly. Highly recommended.

I picked out the Angel in Burford as it is away from the High Street and also associated with a traditional brewer Hook Norton. My sister is a strict vegetarian and I eat Fish. There are descent choices on the starters menu, but we did not discover whether they would do a version of one of these as a main meal as my sister did not want the fuss. She was keen to have the backed camembert and as this is a whole camembert I understand why this is to share. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as heavy as I thought it might be and my sister enjoyed it. I was happy to be able to select the hake on the main menu, which was beautifully cooked with crisp skin and the fish delicately flavoured and had there been a bone it would have flacked off this. Mys sister had the pasta and enjoyed the filled pasta with pine kernels and slightly unusual to me feta cheese. The beer was good my sister enjoyed he americano. The helpings were a good size and we were allowed to sit and eat in comfort without feeling any pressure to leave. The serving staff were polite and attentive without being overbearing. It was an enjoyable experience. There was a specials board and the experience would have been enhanced for my sister had there been a vegetarian or vegan dish on this menu. I was pleased with my fish dish, but in addition to some of the conventional Sunday roasts there was skate as the fish dish, which based on my experience would I am sure have also been excellent. It is a dog friendly establishment and we were sat next to the bar, there is other seating so for those nervous with dogs then it may make sense to look at table away from the bar or path to the garden. The dogs that came in were very friendly and apart from brushing legs not a nuisance. Were we to meet up in Burford again I think we would choose to stop there again. I do not believe the pub has a carpark, but it is an ancient building on a road providing a scenic escape from Buford towards Oxford.

First class food and tremendous service from a friendly team. Can’t be beat! Always superb!

Stopped for a drink and some small plates on a Saturday afternoon - amazing food, especially the Bao buns special, and really lovely staff and service.

We found this little gem by accident whilst walking from the free car park of the main high street. We both had their home made pie. This came with wonderful hand made chips and a superb red wine sauce. The pie was the best we’ve ever had and we have been to many Michelin star restuarants and the Pie Room in London too. The whole meal was excellent. We’ll be back for sure!

Myself & My wife had a truly wonderful two nights stay at the Angel. The service was excellent and the food incredible. The staff were really friendly and had no hesitation in sourcing a bouquet of flowers for my Wife on arrival as part of our 30th Wedding Anniversary (flowers were amazing, thanks). The Inn is perfectly located in Burford, less than a minutes walk to the main street.

Brilliant atmosphere, lovely staff and outstanding setting. Garden was beautiful with lots of options to be in sun or shade. Food was superb. Thank you for a very special lunch and completing an equally special day.

The food is very good, we have eaten here a couple of times over the last 6 years, always enjoyable. Staff are lovely too

Excellent food with wide range of dishes. A very lovely place to eat with a simple chic interior & beautiful garden. Friendly & professional people.

Popped in for lunch chicken pie was good ,staff very attentive, down side was the service charge added to the bill 6 pound on a 50 pound bill is a bit much won't go there again

Absolutely first service, food ambiance everything brilliant every time! We have been coming to The Angel for over 5 years and are regulars and everything is always perfect Thank you !

Lovely food, great service and provide or are able to adjust to enable GF options on menu and specials

Really oldie worldie pub in the heart of Burford. Well run, welcoming both dogs & their owners 😀🐕 We sat in the walled garden which was perfect as we chose one of the few sunny days.There is plenty of shade if wanted. We shared the toasted Camembert with sourdough bread. Our friends had fish n chips & beefburger. We had Plaice on the bone & Hake, all beautifully cooked.

The initial welcome was very luke warm and we were then shown to our table which was right in a corner of a back room where the kitchen door was situated which was not a pleasant experience and then waited 45mins for food to arrive of which 2 main courses were sent back due to overcooked fish. These two meals were deducted from the bill but were not in any way worth the price being charged. Overall a very disappointing experience for a first visit which unfortunately will not be repeated.

Wonderful from start to finish! Highly recommend this as a top quality eatery in a beautiful relaxed, traditional country pub. The food was absolutely delicious and very well presented, lovely evening and would happily return over and over!

Have been many times in the past, arranged to meet friends half way between us in Burford and we were delighted by the quality of food, friendly and efficient service and the bill was exceptional value for money. 3 courses and drink for 4 people at £40pp including service. We will be back again!

Fantastic tasty food with welcoming friendly staff. What's not to enjoy

excellent service, friendly, food offering is just average sadly and reviews are incredibly generous, possibly as there are so few options in and near Burford that's decent.

Always enjoy returning to this independent. Great host.

We booked a table at The Angel as we were staying in one of their lovely and characterful rooms. I ordered the Sunday roast and my husband the steak. Both our meals were absolutely delicious. The staff were very polite and friendly and attentive, but also left us to enjoy our food. We also enjoyed a gin and tonic in their beer garden

Delicious food, great service. Returning customer and will definitely be back soon.

We had a nice meal at "The Angle of Burford" and the bar team were friendly and helpful. Given the location (Cotswold's) the cost for the meal was reasonable.

Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. While in Buford (staying somewhere else) we visited them several times during a 3 day stay.

Lovely evening meal, staff were brilliant, upbeat and professional.

Always a reliable choice. Nice place to eat and excellent service.

I’m sad to give it a 3 star but being woken up both mornings (7am and 6am respectively) by people unloading huge gas canisters and then spending an hour emptying glass bins, general waste etc right outside our window which is single glazed ruined the stay. We’re on holiday relaxing… it was frustrating to say the least. The room was in need of some serious love, door sticking in bathroom, handle fell off the drawers, blind was broken, scuffs everywhere. It just felt a bit neglected. The chap who welcomed us was lovely and the two ladies each morning were so friendly. The breakfast included was nice and fresh with good produce used and nothing was a hassle for the ladies to sort. The location is literally just off the high street with very local free parking. I would return for a drink or food if I were local but not to stay.

Great food, friendly staff and above all dog friendly

Food was delicious and cannot fault the service - an excellent meal and will certainly come back👍

Great meal for four of us plus pup this Saturday lunchtime away from the madness of Burford high st. Really lovely food and drink, including Hooky beers. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks!

Such a disappointing meal. I had the sirloin steak which was supposed to come with tomatoes (assumed cherry tomatoes on the vine). When I asked for my tomatoes they apologised and returned with four halves of beef tomatoes which were cold and looked like they’d been leftover from breakfast! The chips were ok, but other than that there was just a pile of rocket on the plate. For £28 I expected better. My partner had the roast beef (£20), and the Yorkshire pudding was cold and stale, and the accompanying vegetables consisted of a pile of cabbage. As for the staff; some were pretty surly, and the waitress looked like I was inconveniencing her by asking for the bill. To add insult to injury they’d already added a 12.5% service charge to the bill, so I asked if they could change it to 10% (which was still very generous, considering). Apparently that was not possible, it was 12.5% or zero, so zero it was. Not a great experience, we won’t be rushing back!

Great food and great service- thank you. A beautiful location and a sunny garden.

Great food - and great service; a beautiful location and a sunny garden.

Lovely food. The vegan dishes are always outstanding!

Didn't stay herewith have eaten here twice. Good honest varied menu and friendly welcoming staff. Pies an pasta dishes always good.

Really impressed with the Angel! I'd booked lunch for 3 of us following a big walk around the area. Food was delicious, great value for money - especially the special starters of asparagus and scallops. The garden is absolutely beautiful and we really enjoyed our meal out there. Only small bit of feedback was that as we sat in the garden, we weren't really sure if it was table service or not. We went to the bar to order which was fine, but then the waitress did come over to offer desserts. There weren't any menus though, we you had to go into the bar to see the menu... which made her coming over to the take order seem a bit odd. Didn't bother us at all - still hugely enjoyed our lunch and will definitely come back again! :)

Booked a table for 4:00pm in the afternoon which was totally unnecessary. Service was practically nonexistent. Staff not really friendly. It was like service was a chore. Seating uncomfortable on lumpy cushions. Meal was fine but nothing special. Based on the establishments marketing and social hype I expected better and anticipated way way more. Unfortunately a total let down! I guess that’s on me for not wanting to eat later at peak hours??

Absolutely first class as always! We cannot fault the service, the food everything and everyone at The Angel are amazing you really must go and find out for yourself!

I'm so torn because on one hand the room is beautiful and the bed is comfortable, but there is no sound proofing at all and can be noisy until the bar closes at 11pm. The breakfast and the lovely guy who served it in the morning really made up for it though!

A large party that were eating inside finished their meal and came into the outside area where we were seated - there was plenty of room but they all congregated around our table which did somewhat spoil our experience. It was rather rude especially considering the space that was available further into the garden. Food was very good and the service was great but can’t give it 5 stars for the above reason. Would definitely return when in the area next time

Ver good food & service. We really enjoyed our visit.

Good food and helpful staff. Nice pub lunch in a popular cotswolds spot.

Had late lunch here with some friends. Generally a nice place. The service was friendly and helpful. Mushroom pasta and pie were both okay and tasty. But my friend that ordered the salmon plate was disappointed with the quantity. Drinks were also good 👌

delicious, quite splendid, guest beer was great too, staff formidable and chef to be praised

Great meal-really helpful staff and friendly service

Stayed for a couple of nights with my daughter. Staff were excellent. Very helpful and welcoming. Had dinner in pub first night. Food was good quality and varied choice but £9 for dessert seemed a bit steep. Full English breakfast was good but only one mushroom and one slice of tomato was a a little on the mean side. Sourdough toast too which is always hard enough to break your teeth but this seems to be everywhere. Our room was clean and spacious. The mattresses could do with replacing as very soft and possibly worn out. Overall a lovely pub to stay in at Burford and staff are great.

Just off the main road in Burford. We searched for a place for an early dinner after a drizzly, cold day doing all the touristy things. The staff were very welcoming and the menu was just what we were looking for. We sat in front of a very welcome log fire and both ordered fish and chips. It came quickly and was piping hot and well presented, also a very decent portion indeed... It was delicious! I would highly recommend a visit to the Angel as it has a lovely feel to the place, we hope to return next time we're in the area.

Food & service was excellent, desserts were rather expensive but delicious. Roast was good value for money & meat was delicious. Staff were very friendly & welcoming.

Lovely food. Perhaps a little on the pricey side..

Mid afternoon trip out. Only having drinks. Polite and efficient service. Beer (Hook Norton Old) was in fantastic condition. We sat outside as the pub was busy with those having meals (which looked and great). Nice patio / garden area.

A really lovely pub with excellent food and service. There were many delicious choices on the menu and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in the pub was great, it was lovely and cosy - would definitely recommend.

The Angel is a perfect place. The food is always wonderful and frankly it’s MJ and Sian that make the place a happy place to go to and let all your troubles disappear for a few hours.

Great location, staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely food with a lovely choice on the menu and specials board

We stayed at the angel and ate dinner on first night … lovely food and service was very good

The BEST Sunday roast I’ve ever had in the Cotswolds!!! My dad said it was the best roast pork he’s ever had and we were surprisingly blown away by the vegetables on top of the usual potatoes, yorkies and gravy!! They clearly have the most amazing chefs in the kitchen who use the freshest produce - keep it up and we can’t wait to come back !!!

Lovely steaks and attentive service .would always recommend .

We stayed for 3 nights and can’t speak highly enough of the welcoming staff, comfortable and clean room and delicious food. We stayed on bed and breakfast basis but ate dinner for the 3 nights also. Couldn’t fault a thing and the service was top notch too. There was a lovely feeling of togetherness from the staff who obviously got on well and they deserve praise for the way they run this business. Would stay here again in a heartbeat 🥰 I unfortunately didn’t take pics of the pork chop or breakfast but all were delicious

We have been here several times and enjoyed it but the food and service has dropped. The portions were very small, service inattentive and price high. I had the veggie roast. I just got 2 small halves of potato. 1 small slice of nut roast and a drizzle of gravy. The only veg was cabbage (red and green) and this was about 1/2 plate the other 1/2 was an enormous batter pudding which was very crisp. I had a mains, 1 small drink and a cup of hot water and it cost almost £30 with service charge. My fellow diners had a similar experience. Think we may try elsewhere.

Went after the rush hours food was good quality , friendly staff .

A really enjoyable meal on our first night in the Cotswolds, in the restaurant most recommended by my mate’s uncle (he stays locally). This award-winning gastro pub, situated just off The Hill in the heart of Burford (Witney Street to be exact), very much mirrored the rustic, traditional feel offered in the other local pubs. We managed to get the only table left, right next to the bar, and to be honest it was a cracking location. We managed to have good banter with the lad behind the bar, as well as the woman that spoke to us later in the night - both were very welcoming and friendly! Top level hospitality all round. I was craving a Burger and to my delight, it was on the menu. I don’t believe the photo quite does it justice but I can assure you, at 9pm at night it didn’t take long in disappearing from that plate. Cooked to perfection, it was a thick cut of meat and nothing overly fancy - just a really good Burger (30-day aged Beef by the way). The Chips were crunchy and devoured (a tiny bit more in portion size would have been nice, but I’m being picky). The selection of Ales on offer added to the impressiveness of this place. Overall, for the meal and three drinks (including a tip), it was £40. Money well spent for a memorable experience. Yet again, another five star establishment produced by the Cotswolds area.

Went for Lunch with Family for Mother’s Day. Food: Sirloin Steak, Sunday Pork Roast, Burger and Spaghetti for kids -> all were delicious. Price is reasonable for the Food and Portion size. Service charge included!

Location was good, the bar staff were lovely and had excellent service. We had cheesy garlic flatbread to start which was delicious. The main couldn’t be more disappointing! I had fish and chips - the chips were still frozen and the fish batter was soggy. My partner had a burger and it was RAW! It had such good reviews so we were very disappointed but definitely wouldn’t go back or recommend. Only reason it’s 2 stars and not 0 or 1 is because the bar staff were so welcoming.
