The Angel Inn in Northumberland

Tripadviser rejected my first review, fair enough, I wrote it on the night I visited this pub and they have clearly complained about the review, but emotions run high when the quality of what you have been served is so appalling. When beer tastes like vinegar and you have to leave it, and simply leave the premises because to have complained would have attracted so much attention from the locals, says a lot about the atmosphere. What a trully dreadful experience this was. I have never been served such an awful pint of Wainwright, honestly it was so bad. Speaking to other landlords in Wooler, this isnt an issolated comment.. Perhaps if you are touring, or there shooting as I was, The Anchor, is more suited if you aren't a local, local....(if you get my drift)

Visited with my partner and young daughter for some lunch,burgers were lovely and fresh,home made chips were perfectly cooked and the kids meal my daughter had was huge!very good portions.would recommend.

Alright for drinks, food not good. £6 for ‘loaded’ fries!? A handful of chips with a spoonful of chilli on top is not loaded fries. Hotdogs felt like plastic.

we were in saturday night whilst visiting wooler we normally go to the rougher pubs as there is more atmosphere but it was quiet for a saturday night on the plus side we only seen 1 fight and this was at 7 oclock so wouldnt like to be in there at kicking out time.

Have just polished off a beautiful (massive) portion of fish and chips using the Angel inn take away service and it was as good as you could wish for. Large piece of succulent cod in crisp light batter, real fresh chips and tasty mushy peas - it's a good job my wife helped me out as a single portion filled two dinner plates. Hats off to the staff and the hotel for providing such excellent service!

Went in The Angel for Sunday lunch as it is a dog friendly pub and at 2pm it was getting late to find anywhere. When seated in the 'dining room' we thought we'd maybe made a mistake as it is, shall I say, functional, with canteen style chairs and tables, together with tv screens showing Sky. However we stuck it out and our reward was a tasty Sunday roast. I had Beef, wife Lamb, both meats were cooked well being moist, succulent and very tender and plenty of it on each plate. Veggies were served separately and again plentiful and nicely cooked. At £9.95 each this was worth it. If you want good food, cheap and don't mind the surroundings then this is good but not if you want somewhere with more pleasant ambience.

Spent an afternoon in the spacious beer garden and enjoyed a lovely meal in the conservatory. My husband had the home made chilli with fresh hand cut chips and I had scampi with the delicious chips and a lovely fŕesh salad. Would recommend to anyone. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.

Went in for a meal but soon changed our minds, with guys playing pool making a lot of noise and ffiing and Jeffing which wasn't nice at all. I know you have to put up with a little noise but this was a bit much.

we were staying next door decided on our 1st night to have a meal here... we both opted for steak pie.... the pie was so dry you could hang your wallpaper up with it another awful meal next door being no better either

Being unable to get a table in our hotel we went along the high street to this pub to get something to eat and were quite surprised at the size of the portions served, just about fitted on the plate, and the cost. OK just fish and chips but what a size piece of cod! This with chips and enough green peas to feed 2 people, washed down with a lovely pint of Theakstons best bitter made an enjoyable change. (If required there is also a small children's menu) plus given the choice of tab or pay now.

We have been there as we were sleeping in Wooler before going to Lindisfarne. It's one of the pubs open to have dinner or enjoying a beer or a drink. We ordered a steak and lamb, they come back to say the lamb was finished so 2 steaks. No pear cider at all, my favourite, not very rare for a pub. The service was so so, not a service I will remember but not too bad as well. The food was fine, tasty, delicious. Many tables, not busy for an august Saturday eve. In the village centre, noce pub inside Could be better. To try

We stopped for a beer, well kept - very good. Sat in the garden, not enough seats and they allow smoking out there.

Terrible service. Ordered 3 portions of breaded mushrooms which came in one bowl, no side plates or salad.Main meals an absolute disgrace.Steak pie came without pastry with no veg or explanation when we asked were told they'd ran out - matter of fact no apology.Roast chicken came with chips - advertised with veg, gravy and stuffing. Again had to ask for these and took 10 minutes to arrive, dry and tastless.Steaks with peppercorn sauce again no veg given. Steaks themselves were dry as hell and were by no means medium/rare. Peppercorn sauce was a paste and contained a complimentary powder. Would not recommend to anyone.

Poor service unfriendly . Meals poor standard and items missing Full of locals drinking around the bar

Went on a windy cloudy day, mid-afternoon, empty pub. Menu did not look marvellous. Beer expensive - same order in Hexham the day previous was £1.20 cheaper. Seemed cold but the bar itself was lovely to see - really olde-worlde.

Staff were really unhelpful , my partner ordered lasagne which was advertised with garlic bread topped with extra cheese . The garlic bread did not turn up , we then asked for this and the images are what we got. I really wouldn't waste your money eating here.

The service was absolutely disgraceful. Ordered a half chicken roast which came without the sides and was not told that there was no stuffing until complaining. It then took 10 minutes for the gravy and sausage to finally arrive for the chicken meal. Scampi and chips were ordered with veg that turned out to be cold soggy carrots that were clearly from a tin. 20 minute wait for two very small portions of “large” chips. Burgers were also ordered and were asked if we wanted onion rings of which we said yes and none were given. A steak and onion baguette came without onions but given with just whole mushrooms as well as the baguette being toasted on the cut faces but raw everywhere else. This would be a given if the pub was actually busy or if we were warned about any of the alterations to our meals but none was given. Just an all round disappointment.

We have visited here many times. Although we have not eaten here hte food looks lovely and plentiful. It is a locals pub but you are made very welcome. They do allow dogs in so if you're not kean on them then thisn't the place for you. Bar staff are very welcoming . There is a little beer garden out the back witha super sun trap. Worth a visit.

Went here for a couple of drinks when recently in Wooler.Good friendly service and beers. The six of us enjoyed it here.

We went to The Angel Inn for a Evening Meal on Sunday night. We orderd the Steak & Ale Pie with Chips also the Meat Lasagne with Chips. Both meals were absolutely delicious and very filling.

more of a local drinking place than somewhere to eat...ok if you want a quick drink or two seems to be mostly for local meet

Spent a weekend in Wooler recently and during that time visited the Angel and the other two pubs in the Village, not the cheapest for drinks in fact I would suggest they obviously work closely with the Black Bull next door as the bar prices were the same. Thankfully whilst the prices were matched to next door the bar staff were a lot friendlier!

Building full of character and charm with a warm welcome. Amazing menu with all fresh cooked meals hand cut chips and a great pub for autistic visit really friendly and accommodating our daughter felt really comfortable

Very welcoming. Good real ale. Bar staff and locals had good tips for walks and other things to do. Ideal stopping off place for hikers, birders or other tourists.

Great pub, good quality simple food, nicely cooked and presented. Good value. Friendly staff and customers. Interior a little tired but clean and cosy. We will definitely visit again.

Typical 'locals' pub. Clearly hasn't had any TLC since the 70s. Decent pint but unfriendly barstaff.

Lovely sun trap out the back - a great spot for a cold cider on a hot day in their beer garden. Plenty of space inside but never tried the food.

We visited the Angel today (14th April), and waited almost an hour for sub-standard paninis. Staff very offhand. Will not return!!!

popped in here waiting to check into riverside park its dog friendly thats the best i can say about it when you walk in they all look at you toilets have seen better days could do with decorating

Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Good beers and lovely pub grub menu. Very reasonably priced and freshly prepared.

Great little pub, with dining room out the back!

We were last at the Angel Inn 5 years ago, and had a fantastic evening. We returned hoping - but not expecting - the same again. We were not disappointed. A warm welcome, great value food, ale and a few games of pool 😀

Fantastic food at fantastic prices. Comfortable and pleasant surroundings. Staff extrememy friendly and attentive

With the best will in the world, The Angel will not win awards for its food. It is adequate and filling, but no more. It's a good local pub, with Sky Sports and Karaoke and if that's what you are after it's perfect.

We called in for lunch after seeing the board outside advertising Gluten Free Sunday Lunch. It was midweek and the menu had gluten free options. The service was welcoming and the meal lovely and home cooked and very reasonably priced.We wished we has know about this place before as we would definitely have eaten here for Sunday lunch.

Called in for a pint and stayed for a few extra as locals and staff were very friendly wish it was my local as Guinness was gorgeous well worth a drop in for a pint or 2

Poped in for a light lunch stunning home cooked food at an unbelievable price we had the basket meal at £3.50 worth double dogs allowed in the bar

Visited this pub at lunchtime and on Friday evening.

Great pub to watch the match in, bit of a squeeze to get served during the match but that's to be expected

We brought 2 teenage boys and ourselves here for Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint.

A classic case of a pub that when you walk in, the place stops silent, then resumes, and you feel ... should I be here?

We called in here on Friday to get out of the rain with our 2 children as we were out for a walk while camping at highburn, the lady serving was friendly as well as the locals, we would defiantly return but next time we'd have food as well

This was our third attempt at eating in wooler tonight. After being turned away by other restaurants and walking in here not knowing what to expect we were pleasantly surprised. The family run pub had the owners hubby cooking. A new apprentice serving and learning. They were wonderful. Couldn't have asked for better service. The food was fabulous. I had the steak and ale pie. We tried a burger and lasagna. All great. I would highly recommend it. There were 6 of us and everyone was happy and left full with doggie bags. Keep up the good work.

Really our best experience in Wooler. Steak and Ale pie, onion rings,lasagna. Large portions friendly owners and servers. Would go back.

Great old fashioned pub with friendly staff and good pub food. Second visit and have been impressed both times.

Called in here for some food on our visit to Wooler. found the pub very welcoming.We ordered the steak pie and it was gorgeous loads of meat in it and was very reasonably priced

Great basic pub food. Very enjoyable meal. This it seems is a very popular place with the locals as it was quite busy with what seemed to be locals as the bar staff new most of the people by name. So I always think that if the locals eat there then it can't be bad. Staff were very friendly made you feel welcome.If you are in the area and you enjoy basic pub grub with good portions at very reasonable prices then you can't go wrong going here. Would recommend and would return if we are back in the area.

Family run pub in Wooler, very friendly staff who made us feel welcome, decent beer and food was good.

Excellent value for money for their Sunday lunches, A great choice more than enough food, came away feeling very satisfied with the visit

Visited with family, only ones in the pub. Not great if gluten free as can say what does not have gluten in but cannot promise no cross contamination. I ended up with bowl of chips and they were the best chips I have had. Others in party all enjoyed food the fish and chips were amazing. We visited lunch time on a Wednesday and was nice to take time and chat. No complaints about the food, we were really surprised how good the food was. Took a while for food to arrive but all freshly cooked so did not mind.

We had a brilliant meal tonight, bar staff and chef really friendly and helpful, the food was reall. Well cooked and loads of it.

Traditionally styled pub. Popped in with my wife while stopping off at Wooler for a short stay and had a very pleasant night sat in the pub - the very friendly staff and welcoming locals making our evening. A very enjoyable visit.

Called here for a drink while staying in Wooler, only one ale on but kept in good condition avoided the previous night due to Karaoke not really cosy and no one eating.

If you are looking for a basic pub meal in very friendly and 'local' surroundings the Angel will suit very well. It is on the main road in the town with plenty of on-street parking available. The interior is basic but spacious. Menu is what might be described as typical pub food and includes sandwiches, a variety of mains and a special Sunday lunch menu. There is not a great deal of vegetarian choice (lasagne and vegetable curry) but the food is good. We recently had the curry and were very pleased with it - a large portion with rice and chips could have been with it too if we wished. It was extremely good value at £7.50. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We would be happy return anytime for a casual meal at very fair prices.

Me and my partner as well as my family visit this pub every time we are in Wooler its my favorite out of them all.

We were looking for an early evening meal while staying at the caravan park.

We sat outside in the sun, we ordered our food. 30minutes later our food came nice and warm. Beautiful big portions value for money to. Recommend to anyone who's passing this pub.

We visited on a sunday tea time and with no where else serving we were stuck here. Nice enough surrounding within the pub and friendly staff. A lot of what was on the menu seemed to be unavailable even though the menu was quite small so slightly disappointing, however what we did end up with was quite nice if not rather expensive..

Although this place was absolutely immaculate inside, and I had read that Coeliacs are catered for, when we visited, there was little to choose from.

17 respectable U3A members visited this pub after walking in the area. Two weeks before the pub was told we would be coming. Two days before we rang with the exact numbers. The majority of the party were just having sandwiches or jacket potatoes. Service was extremely slow but when we did have our food, after an hour, it was served by a very pleasant young girl who rushed backwards and forwards. But finally one of the members gave up on his prawn sandwich and left asking for his money back. Soon after that, the owner? came out and in an extremely unpleasant manner accused us of having had the prawn sandwich as 'she had made this straight away.' Food was reasonably priced and good portions, quality for simple pub fare O.K. first bowl of chips underdone though. But because of the extreme rudeness of the woman she has lost repeat visits of 17 people plus probably others we tell. Many other pubs in Wooler to go to instead.

I visited this pub/restaurant with my husband and our dog for a spot of midweek lunch. Pleasant and clean place... Looks like it may have recently been refurbished. Loos clean too. 5 star food hygiene certificate. Food was great value and the portions generous. The other half loved the PROPER chips. The staff were friendly and helpful. The free wifi was great as hubby could get some work done while I relaxed with my coffee. We will definitely come here again.

I love this pub. Have had a caravan in wooler for 6 years and this is my local. ....atmosphere is welcoming and as a women don't have a problem walking in by myself to meet my husband.

Popped in for a beer then decided on some food. Excellent decision, fillet steak delicious,cooked to perfection. Will certainly go back next time in area.

Stopped in Wooler on my way to scotland with the family and found a nice pub on the high street the staff were very nice and chatty . My wife and I both had steak with all the trimmings and the kids had half rost chickens which where huge I can honestly say that was the most succulent steak I have ever had will be going back on the way home

Very average food and slow service to match. Waitress was pleasant and the décor was quite nice and clean

I eat there regular and highly recommended the steaks and the fresh chips, everyone has there bad days, never had a bad experience myself

Food awful and service extremely slow. Waited 1 hour for frozen fish and chips to arrive. Not recommended
