The Angel Bakery in Monmouthshire

We had dinner on the Sunday evening of the food festival weekend, the food was amazing,the atmosphere was warm and friendly and the service was top class.

Great service but very expensive for dressed up ordinary food. Good drinks again at high prices

This place has lost something recently and it’s sad to see as someone who’s been coming to the Angel 2-3 times a year for over 10years. Firstly, the staff seems quite rude, the greeting we had was ignorant which set things off to a bad start. The Foxhunter has lost all its atmosphere with the move to focus on food with just three tables occupied on what should be a busy Saturday in July. But most importantly, the price/ quality ratio is just way off. The evening before we had eaten at James Martin’s Lygon Arms and the food was cheaper and far superior. When you’re paying £80 a head for 2 courses you expect a steak cooked to order and a quality cut of meat. You expect quality ingredients that shine through and something more than your average pub meal. It’s marginally better but not worth the 300% mark up. I think the Angel have decided to take their customers for granted and focus on the tourist trade which won’t serve them in the long term. I won’t be back until things change. It’s no longer the special place it once was.

The best experience ever! The Angel team is perfect! Nicky and Joe looked after us and thought of every detail! We had a great experience during our stay and at our dinner. Thank you so much, ladies! I wish you all the best! Kamila

We called in for Sunday lunch. The food and service was first class and we were made really welcome. lovely surroundings and the staff were great, talking and playing with our 13month old son and even bringing him some strawberry's. Unusual to find places like this. We will be back soon.

My mum and dad went on Saturday for afternoon tea....it was a present for their 60th wedding anniversary.....sorry to say but they were disappointed with their experience.they said food was great but service very poor......we're offered tea/coffee once and that was it.they almost missed out on scones and was offered them as they were about to walk out....they took home in a box as they had left their table but not the service they were hoping for

Great rooms and restaurants. Staff are excellent.

I had the pleasure of booking a stay at Angels Hotel on Monday, April 22nd. The staff at the reception desk were exceptionally accommodating and welcoming. The Queens Room, where I stayed, surpassed all expectations with its elegance and comfort. Additionally, the morning breakfast provided was of superb quality, adding to the overall delightful experience. I would confidently rate Angels Hotel five stars and look forward to returning in the future.

Service excellent and have always enjoyed my stays...... however getting very pricey these days

Lovely hotel in a lovely location. The rooms, service and food were all 5 star.

Really friendly staff and accommodating service. Food was ok but was quite expensive along side drinks.

As former Abergavenny residents, we stayed here for a few nights recently while visiting family and friends in the area. The Angel is an Abergavenny institution and thoroughly deserves its reputation as a welcoming and very comfortable hotel offering a high standard of accommodation, food and facilities. As always, the staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient and we greatly appreciated the exceptional standard of service at the Angel - many thanks to all the staff who made our visit such a pleasure. We had breakfast every day and also dined in the Foxhunter bar on a couple of occasions, and all the food was delicious, well prepared and presented. Our room was clean, quiet and very comfortable, and we were impressed by the attention to detail throughout, not to mention the welcome tray of snacks on our arrival. We have stayed at the Angel on several occasions over the years and have never been disappointed, so we can highly recommend the Angel Hotel to any visitors looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in the centre of Abergavenny.

Great food, friendly and efficient staff. Would recommend.

Very impressed with the overall standards and attention to detail. savoury selection was well presented and cakes were extremely good, everything was full of flavour but, the selection and delivery of the teas was perfect, teas were prepared as they should and knowledge of waiter was brilliant.

My favourite afternoon tea. The maitre d is always so accommodating and helpful and always goes above and beyond to make your visit a lovely experience and child friendly. Thank you

Nice meeting for lunch with good friends. Very easy recommend.

Spent a fantastic afternoon celebrating a friend's special birthday with afternoon tea. The food was excellent, great choice of cakes , sandwiches and savouries, teas and coffees. Prosecco was flowing and the staff were absolutely brilliant, would definitely visit again amazing.

Went for Sunday lunch, lovely meal, well cooked, great surroundings, very smart. Excellent service🤩

Called in on the off after climbing Sugar Loaf Mountain. Immediately greeted with a warm welcome. Accommodated 4 of us for lunch. The atmosphere, decor and staff here are first class. Food was amazing and great value. Will definitely share this gem of place with friends and family,

My partner and I had lunch here on February 10th, and it was amazing. A little fancier than our usual restaurant choices, we didn't originally plan to eat at the Angel, but rude staff at another establishment in town put us off wanting to eat there, so we had a wander and my partner liked the look of the menu here. A beautiful dining room, we felt slightly underdressed to eat here, but we were the only people in initially. All the staff were lovely and extremely helpful. I had the Wild garlic and roscoff onion risotto with rocket salad & Italian hard cheese. It was the best meal out i've ever had, easily. Every part of it was just perfect (and i don't usually like rocket) My partner had the Cefn Mawr Farm dry-aged beef ribeye on the bone with chips & onion rings, which he also really enjoyed. I pinched a few of his chips and wished i'd ordered some for myself because they were amazing. Of course after such a beautiful meal we couldnt say no to dessert, so we both opted for sticky toffee puddings which, like everything else we'd eaten, were perfect. Both very pleased with our decision to eat here. Though pricier than other places we looked at, its worth paying extra for. We will definitely be back, though maybe dressed a bit smarter next time! Thanks everyone.

First visit but not the last . Superb food and service .

Amazing dinner here last night great service marvelous food will be back

We stayed at the hotel as an extended family group (4 rooms) and hired the Ballroom for a family event. We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome. The facilities and the food were first class but what really stood out was the quality of customer service at every step. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone we met had a smile on their face. I'm sure we'll be back...

Had a meeting recently here, tried the fishfinger sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Will most definitely be trying it again

A very nice, stylish hotel and great dining. Deserved five stars but for two issues. 1: Although they do warn you the Tesla charger isn't the most powerful, it would actually win a prize for the LEAST powerful, max 10A. It wasn't even possible to fully charge overnight. 2: Left my shoes out for a polish as advertised - it didn't happen.

One of best rib eye with bone you can have in the UK. Always the best choice in the Angel hotel restaurant.

Great food and great service as usual. Excellent restaurant with pleasant and attentive staff.

Wanted to take my partner to experience her first fine dinning experience... what a mistake to come to the Angel. Firstly we were in the foxhunter bar and there is nothing fine about the bar, no table cloths, the 2 of us had a table for 4 so didn't feel intermit at all. the bar was full and very loud throught our meal, we couldn't even here ourselves talk. We booked a table for 8.15 and ordered wine which after half an hour had to chase that up and the waitress admitted she forget it least we had tap water to drink. In general the food was very good however its a shame the waiting staff cant carry the meals up to the table without tipping the sauce all round the plate, I'm sure the chefs wouldn't let the food go out like this!!!! And in addition not once did anyone come over during the courses to ask if the food was OK premier Inn can manage this and I would expect this level with the prices that are charged. To end the meal we ordered dessert which I had to go and ask for the desert menu myself. At 10.45 (2.5hrs) after we sat we decided to cancel the deserts as it was to late to eat them when they turned up. So all in all not the fine dinning experience we were hoping for. When you've paying £150 plus for a meal I would expect a lot better service, and would have liked a pudding not a midnight snack. At the end of the meal the waitress seemed more intrested in looking for water dripping through the celling which had apparently been reported by a guest than actually being atentive to her customers Would not recommend coming here and certainly wouldn't come back.

Fantastic bakery with good selection of pastries and bread. Also sells a selection of deli items. Pain au Chocolate and croissants to die for. Their breads are delicious. Not the cheapest but you pay for the quality and it’s worth it.

This bread shop is worth a visit if you like artisan bread .....not a massive selection however what they have is gorgeous....there is also cake, cheese and deli items....loved it all

Just a sandwich and a filled croissant from here but both were excellent. A special mention to the sourdough bread

Dissapointing sourdough loaf - Loaf heavy, outside very crisp/dark crust, inside wet & uncooked?? or underproved I not sure ?

No wonder people were queueing at 08.50 for the shop to start serving at 09.00. The freshly prepared bread was delicious with all types and a great cheese selection from Neils Yard. Hams and salmon as well as big range of jams/chutneys and marmalade. Wish we had stocked up more for our return home!!

The sausage rolls and almond croissants were the best we've had in a long time, and the sourdough bread was also excellent, as were the takeaway coffees. No wonder there was a queue outside! It's not cheap, but the quality more than makes up for that.

The wholemeal sourdough is the best I’ve ever eaten. Crisp crust and soft crumb. Lots of other goodies.

Зашли с женой 28.03.2021г. выпить кофе. Сделали заказ. Как раз освободился столик и я попросил продавца убрать со стола. Однако в ответ я услышал, что "вообще-то у нас самообслуживание". На вполне резонный вопрос о том что столик так и будет не убран до закрытия заведения мне ответили, что убрано будет в свободное время. Жаль, что деньги за заказ уже были уплачены. А так, это было последнее посещение вашего заведения. Есть другие места, с более приятным и корректным обслуживанием.

The bread is lovely , freshly baked on the premises every day post covid . The pan au chocolat will make you melt ! . The bread has a hard crust which I love , the only draw back is that this is pricey .

Sourdough bread was good, but burnt on the bottom. Nice fillings and snacks. Good place to buy a picnic or lunch.

We visit whenever were in the area, the sandwiches, and the bakery is fantastic, some of the best sweet treats, and bread we’ve ever had.

We pre-ordered 20 pastries and croissants for a reunion nearby and the service was excellent , the sourdough , croissants and pastries were the best I've ever tasted. Hope to be back soon , thank you !

Any time I have eaten something from this Bakery it has been very good indeed - well worth trying as it is like an old fashioned bakery!

Visited the Angel Bakery during the Saturday of the Abergavenny food festival. The breed here is amazing, and was far better than some of the other bread stalls in the festival The baguette in particular was delicious and a steal at only £2

We came here after being recommended by Natural Weigh in Crickhowel raving about the sourdough. So we drove over 40 minutes to the shop as they are only open Tuesday-Saturday. The shop is kind of hidden down a side road so its off the main street. So we arrived around 10:30am, and there was an amazing range of breads and cakes, utterly amazing. We brought wholemeal sourdough and a soda bread. The Sodabread was absolutely devine, sadly not big enough haha but a must by! They were still warm and so fresh. 100% worth a visit.

Despite being spontaneous, the camping trip was well planned The drive from Hereford to Porthgain happens to take us through Abergavenny. Where better to grab breakfast then the Angel Bakery!Exiting the shop with freshly baked pain au chocolate, almond croissants and a sour dough loaf (kindly cut in half as we hadn't thought to pack a bread knife). All generously portioned.Didn't try on this occasion but the coffee smelt great.Would think you need patience during busy times as the shop area is small - perhaps gaze through the window at the bread making process whilst you wait.Downside - very messy to eat whilst in the car - but who cares it was so worth it.

The bakery sells delicious bread made on the premises. We also had frangipani tart which was amazing. So good that we considered driving back half a hour today to stock up! The chocolate brownie was equally good. Well worth a detour.

The bakery was recommended by a friend. We bought some loaves to take back to England. It was delicious and worth the extra cost compared to super market bread.

We chanced upon The Angel Bakery last weekend and popped in to grab an easy picnic lunch for our walk in the countryside.The sandwiches, served on focaccia, looked really good, but seemed a bit on the London prices side. Oh well. We were already there, and we don’t know Abergavenny, so we bought one each.I’m happy to report that the sandwiches were worth every single penny! All of the ingredients were fantastic quality, absolutely delicious and we spent all weekend reliving our happy lunchtime food memories and discussing making a massive round trip to repeat the experience!I wish everyone operating at a similar price point had the same high standards.Please, never change, Angel Bakery... You’re absolutely killing it.

There is not a great deal I can say about the Bakery. Sour dough bread is £4 a loaf, the most expensive loaf of bread I have ever pay for.

Firstly I do really like the bakery's Sourdough bread. Probably the best Sourdough in the area. But alas I have given up on buying bread at this bakery, I have been buying a loaf of Sourdough every Tuesday morning. The reason I do not anymore is that on the last two occasions the staff had the music on so loud that both myself and the girl serving were having to shout at each other to make our self's heard. It is such a shame as I did very much like their bread. But not with so poor a regard for customer service.

Baguettes amazing!!! Sourdough so good too. Wanted to eat everything!! Amazing prices for bread. We are from London so bread here is half the price!

We got bread & croissants for breakfast a couple of times during our week in Abergavenny. Really good quality - not cheap of course, but really tasty including excellent baguettes. Coffee to take away too. Open from 8 Tues - Sat.

Located just off the main market square in Abergavenny, south Wales. Through the glass You can see the workers making all sorts bread, buns, pastries and what not. The bakery is centuries old and takes you back in time. The village of Abergavenny is really beautiful. Lots of open spaces for walking, friendly people and a nice flea market.

The staff were excellent, as were the cakes, bread, sandwiches and coffee. Very much recommended. I didn't want to leave.

I popped in here after seeing it from our bedroom window in the sister hotel: what a treat! Super smiley staff, delicious range of cakes/pastries and, of course, breads. I can recommend the pains au chocolat, hazelnut brownies and the sourdough. It was pretty busy for 8am on a Saturday which I always reckon is a good sign! All of the breads/pastries served in The Angel Hotel are provided by this bakery, ensuring a delicious breakfast after an overnight stay - yum!

Stunning afternoon tea here for my 30th, I even had a happy birthday song from the waiters. Long list of teas and coffees to choose from and the food is lovely. Would return

I love this bakery and although live out of town make a special visit to stock up on the different sourdough loaves and have an amazing take out coffee- decaf flat white and sometimes treats of the gorgeous pastries and sarnies. The staff are really friendly and always make me feel that they love the bakery as much as I do. Its positioning is great too, near the top car park with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. I rarely do trip advisor reviews but this place is truly special and definitely a destination must visit in Abergavenny.

This bakery is a delight. Unusual types of bread - love the soda bread the the onion bread. Not cheap but worth every penny!

Possibly the best loaf of bread I have ever tasted and I have tasted a lot of bread. Fresh ground coffee and cakes available along with many other artisan breads. An incredible find

Popped in as the outside looked nice and we were looking for a cake shop! Daughter had a fruit pastry, which I ‘helped’ with...it was delicious. Had coffee, really nice flat white, and have a loaf of sourdough with walnut and oat which looks amazing but we’ve not eaten it yet!

We popped in for a bakery snack and coffee to go. The selection of breads and treats was wonderful. We really enjoyed our treats just wish we had more time to try more from the large selection available. We would definitely return.

I have been to many places for afternoon tea but The Angel Hotel is definitely the best. This was my second visit and I took my mum this time. It was nice and relaxed in there and the waiters were extremely attentive. It is a little bit more expensive than other places I have been but well worth it. Definitely will go back. Would recommend it.

This is a really fabulous bakery its a bit pricey but the bread and pastries are worth it. I can recommend the sour dough loaf it is really lovely.

Amazing bakery with top notch breads, croissants, meringues etc Coffee available. Lovely to see the ovens in full view while you can sit outside enjoying the finished product
