Great food; good beer selection; friendly service; nice decor; relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. One of the best pubs in Highgate and very reasonably priced.

I came here after a visit to Highgate Cemetery. The pub is lovely and the Sunday Roast was very good!

Opposite the Angel. Looks like a huge trouser press 🤣

The worst pub lunch we have ever had. We ordered the pork belly Sunday roast and the crackling that came with it was literally inedible! On telling the manager his response was that we were not the first people to have said that. The roast potatoes were soggy and the cabbage and parsnips tasteless and only just warm. The pork belly was very salty but the Yorkshire pudding was OK. We asked for mustard and got horseradish and the staff weren’t in the least bit interested . It used to be a really good place for Sunday roast, not any more!

Very good chicken Caesar salad in very nice pub Saturday lunchtime after visiting Highgate cemetery. Definitely recommend

Found this lovely place by chance on Google Maps as we were visiting the cemetery and looking for lunch beforehand. Delicious food, undoubtedly the best chicken schnitzel I've had in London! Served by the very entertaining 'Mclovin' - as we walked in my friend said "This looks nice" and he said with a big smile "It IS nice!" He made sure my allergies were taken care of and was funny and welcoming. Watch out for the mad parrot wallpaper in the loos. Will definitely return if I'm in the area again.

I visited this pub for a Sunday roast at noon and it was fantastic! We had a mixed meat platter to share and the quality of the meat was impeccable. The plate was well-varied, and everything was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly. It’s also a dog-friendly spot where you can help yourself to treats, water, and blankets for your furry friends. Prices are very reasonable for Highgate. Highly recommend!

Worst fish and chips I've ever had eating out. Straight out of a freezer packet and kids portion in size. Staff friendly.

Great food and service. Nice beers.

Had lunch today here with my (elderly!) parents. Our server Gary was absolutely brilliant and took the time to chat and joke with us, as well as giving us excellent service. I had a mango and avocado salad which was excellent. The portions were so generous that my parents couldn't finish theirs! A very nice vibe, dog friendly and fully accessible. Very clean toilets which is always brilliant! Thank you so much Gary we will come back!

We hired out the Angel Inn for our wedding on a Saturday afternoon/evening. And honestly, couldn't have found a more perfect venue! It fits around 45 for seated dinner, the food is absolutely delicious, the staff were wonderful. We could decorate and arrange the place how we wanted. The communication was so smooth - it made the planning so easy and we could trust that they had it covered. It has the charm of a pub, the quality of a restaurant, and the fact you can hire it out exclusively giving you a bar area and seated area separately...honestly, nothing like it in London. Whether you have a wedding, party, celebration of any sorts, 100% recommend speaking with the team here.

Lovely pub. Good selection of beers and friendly staff.

Fantastic local pub and restaurant. Great food with a varied menu. Super friendly with excellent service.

Popped in for lunch. Really tasty. Staff were lovely.

I went to The Angel recently for lunch, even though I live in Highgate I hadn't been before so I didn't know what to expect. I had a salad with grilled chicken which was delicious and my sister had the burger and fries. Both meals were generous and flavoursome. I will definitely return and take my little dog as they are dog friendly which is a real bonus!

Great atmosphere, service and food! Can’t complain - this is exactly what we were looking for on our search for good pub food.

Only ordered a burger takeout as I was really hungry whilst walking my dog in Waterlow Park. Had a quick search on Google map and found out this place is dog friendly and is really close to the park so came and ordered a takeout to eat int he park. Tastes really good, even the fries tastes something special. Would love to come and sit down and try out different menus with my dog.

Lovely pub, good place to visit after walking up hill from Highgate Cemetary

Went for lunch Mon 29th April with a family party of 5 and it was probably the best seafood linguine I've ever eaten. Good alternative menu options to suit various wallets and appetites round the table. Thanks to the manager also who was very polite, friendly and helpful. Definitely be back. Nice decor too.

Just happened into this place and glad we did. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. A must try if your in the area.

This place was amazing. Best fish and chips we have ever had. SERVICE WAS GREAT. And the staff was friendly.Great atmosphere. This Canadian would come back again and recommends The Angel Inn. N McDonald Toronto 🇨🇦

Hidden gem! Delicious food, superb service! Nikos was very friendly and attentive! With his wine knowledge he gave us the best choice to pair our food. Don't miss it, you will regret it!

Everything was nice ! Helpful staff and delicious food !

Came here for a Sunday roast and it was lovely! Generous portion size and the food tasted great - the cauliflower cheese is a must!! Great service too, everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend!

A very comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Prices very reasonable but portions slightly smaller than having been use to with.the linguineķ. As a group we were looked after very well. Overall excellent.

Great service and good priced beautiful presented and delicious food. Really enjoyed the amalfi spritz non alcoholic cocktail. We asked to moved tables as spot light was so intense and directly in the face of one of my guests, our request was quickly accommodated

The food was great. The staff were great. The booth was so comfortable. It has been a while since we last visited but we are now planning our next visit really soon!

Fantastic place, ambience, surrounding great, highly recommended, cheers 🍻

Not been before. It was a welcome pitstop after exploring. Being in at around 1-2pm, very quiet. Staff quite friendly. When I'm next in Highgate, I'll return.

Fantastic service from the best team!Thank you Paulo, Charlie, and Gerry!I hope I remember their name correctly 🥰

Rachel, Gary, Charlie, Poalo, Kaleena Nooshin and Booja were top dogs. 🐕 Supplied many people's drunkeness Regardless if that's good or bad they did a decent enough job.👍

Service great Drinks great Sunday lunch wasn’t great! Roasties poor, stewed veg, meat tasted ok but cheap Spent £73 and it wasn’t worth it I’m afraid

Lovely visit to this very comfortable and plush pub! Excellent service. Very welcoming. Great.

Excellent quality food in stylish setting. Great service and definitely returning.

Delicious food and the staff are lovely.

Great pub. We went for the tapas selection after the barman's recommendation. Delicious.

Had a lovely meal here today (beef shin and pale ale pie with clotted cream mash). Very friendly, helpful staff. It was lunchtime so pretty quiet but I will definitely go again.

Oh great place very homely great atmosphere great staff

Amazing place, amazing service, the food is fantastic. I would always recommend this place. Starters to definitely try is the calamari and prawns with chorizo. Enjoy

Nice decor and atmosphere. Asian lady that initially came to serve us was very helpful and friendly but had to grab the attention of staff that took over from her. Had to wait a long time for Sunday roast and even had to ask if our food could be brought to the table because it was obviously ready at the hatch. My half a chicken was actually two scrawny legs with hardly any meat on one. The stuffing was tiny and very dry. Pig in blanket (singular) was overcooked. Wine prices are seriously and ridiculously excessive! We know pubs have to get over lockdown but such increases since are taking the piss out of customers.

Have visited The Angel a few times having travelled up from The Midland to visit my daughter. Great pub great food and great staff, dog friendly too ! Will be visiting again when next in London.

Great service , nice atmosphere , not too crowded

Hi, after a recent bad experience at one of the groups pubs in town we decided to go local to the Angel Inn in Highgate. It was as ever great fun, lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent. We were well looked after and the manager was delightful.

Very nice Lovely staff friendly Not to noisy

Solid 5/5. I received a very professional and polite service from McLovin. Ordered cheesburger and Raspberry beer and it was very good. I can’t ask for a better experience😊

We have been regular visitors to The Angel since Rachel, the manager took her position there. Having known the pub before and since Rachel’s residence, I can say without hesitation that it’s an entirely different space. Rachel has created a warm, friendly yet professional environment. The food is always excellent, there is a decent choice of wines and the service is always exceptional. We are lucky enough to have a variety of pubs to choose from, all within walking distance but nowadays The Angel tops them all.

Great cocktail menu, nice food, pleasant service. More choice would’ve been nice but overall pretty good

Amazing amazing food. One of the best pub meals I’ve ever had.

Visited today , table of four . As a chef myself ( 37 years) I found this to be a very relaxing and warm environment. Attentive front of house . And without having too much a rant the quality of the food was excellent. I really despair over the quality of London’s pubs in 2023 , too many head office menu’s with their profit margins and unhappy chefs often working under staffed . Not the case here , I can’t remember the last time I’ve had parmentier potatoes in a pub ? The hake was perfectly cooked . Quite simply the best pub food I’ve had this year and not overpriced. Wine menu excellent. Thank you everyone.

It was good but despite having pre-ordered it took along time for food to come. The pre-order didn't allow us to book children's/smaller size meals so we ended up paying full price for all children We had to ask for crackers even though all other tables had got them and then they only came for children Cocktails were really good though and food was good

Really nice food and excellent service

The service was impeccable, especially given we were the second large party of the day. Food was great and they even managed to accommodate two extra guests with no notice. The waiting staff were attentive and even made a seating plan which meant they located people with the right food with ease. When I settled up the bill we had even managed to get the cash right and I had a lovely chat with some of the bar staff. No notes, genuinely lovely evening!

I got there because it's super old building and couldn't expect the price so affordable. Really nice place to spend your time with friends.

The Angel Inn got the craic. I had a nice pint of Guinness.

Absolutely brilliant Sunday roast here - so many pubs are phoning it in these days but The Angel Inn did a great job. The staff and manager were incredibly welcoming and helpful with friendly service. Thanks for a great afternoon

One of the best Sunday Roasts I’ve ever had in a Pub. Good valve, generous portions and great service! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Friday lunchtime was quiet. Two adults enjoyed the Hake main course and an infant loved the grilled haddock. Service was friendly and efficient. Will return.

Lovely environment, good food and friendly service, albeit slow. The dessert took 30 minutes to arrive. However, this pub is FULL of dogs. Restaurants do not allow dogs, so why would a pub, which functions as a restaurant, allow dogs in areas where food is served AND there is table service? Isn't this pretty much a restaurant? The dogs were shaking, salivating and launching bugs up in the air. It was awful. I found this disgusting. And the toilets as well. Just to complete the poor hygiene picture. Sadly, I wouldn't be back because of it. Drinks only perhaps. I also didn't appreciate the reply that this pub left here previously, as well the fact that they are trying to remove this review. For this reason I have revised the rating further down.

Fantastic pub, great food and excellent service.

Such a lush place! Great food, Great Drinks! Excellent service from John!

Thank you for a wonderful visit to the Angel Inn. Great service, food and atmosphere. John was very personable and couldn’t do enough for us.

This has now become my regular pub!!! The food is amazing and the staff are attentive!!! Very dog friendly a real good local pub!!!

This has now become my regular pub!!! The food is amazing and the staff are attentive!!!

John was fantastic. Great pub, great atmosphere and great food.

The chicken was great. The rest of the roast was not. Flat Yorkie, tiny, badly prepared potatoes

Nice Sunday roast with fair prices. Staff was very attentious and kind it's a place I recommend to enjoy a nice Sunday roast 👌

Amazing Sunday roast, brilliant service, lovely wine!

Would have been 5 on food but 🍨 was disappointing

Good environment and excellent staff let down by very poor hot food. The starter was a while coming but the olives and sourdough bread were good. A long delay for the roasts to arrive. The beef was dry and very overdone, all the vegetables were tough and soggy as if they had been reheated - not good for roast potatoes! Portions were a good size. In contrast all four crumble desserts were undercooked. Embarrassing when one’s guests commented on how poorly the food was cooked.

Fantastic Sunday roast - very long wait on the meat but the staff more than made up for it by giving us the lunch for free! Will definitely come back.

It was wonderful to drop in after a long walk. The selection of beers is excellent - I tried two different ones (try = pint), and my three companions another three. But what makes me writing this is the excellent, friendly yet professional service by the bar staff. It was just uplifting

Popped in for a rest, the seats are very comfortable. I thought at £5.80 the small bottle of alcohol free beer I asked for was overpriced.

Great Sunday lunch really enjoyed it !

Thanks guys for a lovely sunday lunch!

A favourite in Highgate. Excellent food, lovely ambiance, and the coldest cider on the high street.

We hosted a surprise birthday party at the Angel Inn and we couldn't have asked for a better venue! Rachel & Nikos were very accommodating and helped plan a wonderful event. They responded quickly to any questions & were a big part of ensuring things ran smoothly on the day. The bar snacks were delicious and loved by all the guests. The staff were very attentive & looked after us all night. Thank you so much to everyone at the Angel Inn! I would definitely recommend this venue.

We really enjoyed our visit, it is a nice venue. The service was excellent, and a very varied choice of food.

Had a nice beer 🍻. Very relaxing place. Great customer service. 🙂

Very nice Sunday roast! Thank you!

Great pub, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Did not have food so cannot review.

Was here for the Women's football finals and stayed for sunday roast. Nice environment and good food and service!

A delightful place to unwind and relax, very chilled with wonderful staff. Five hand pumps here + loads of keg beers. A great place to visit. Come and enjoy

This restaurant was spot on with all key requirements for a wonderful evening. Good setting and ambiance. Plenty of room & space around tables Fantastic choices with regards to menu. Doors was delivered fast and was delicious across the party visiting for a meal. Vast choices of drinks for all to have and finally a word needs to be said for the service which was that evening deleivered by Gary. Having an ability to deliver a meal for 10 guests was a skill and he did with amazing communication skills, a friendly manner and was professional & talented in making it all looks seamless. Thank you to him and the team for a wonderful evening cheering us all up between rainstorms in Highgate. Thoroughly recommended

Best pub ever for dog friendly! They have dog blankets and treats. Wow! Great work!

Lovely pub on Highgate "village".

Honestly, I don't know what was worse, the lack of a functioning website or the blase staff. I'm a pregnant woman, and my partner and I wanted to enjoy a nice Saturday brunch. According to online reviews, the Angel inn is "one of the best pubs in North London" and, as per the website, appeared to serve brunch. We were super excited to go! Upon arrival, we were barely greeted by a bored looking bartender before being unceremoniously plonked on a table by the bathrooms. We were given normal all day menus, and when we asked for brunch, we were told "yeah we used to do it we don't now". My partner and I OBVIOUSLY decided to go elsewhere. Before leaving, I showed the online brunch menu to what appeared to be the supervisor, and his exact response was "yeah coz we have a rubbish website." Needless to say my partner and I were less than impressed, and I will nottttt be going back to give them a second chance. If you want a great brunch head to Côte brasserie.

Lovely service, and a bit fancier than a usual pub. Great food also.

Super gemütliches Ambiente 😊 und lauter nette Leute Der gebackene Camembert im Brotleib (Rosemary& Garli) und auch die Fish and Chips waren ausgezeichnet. Auch zum empfehlen, die hausgemachte Zitronenlimonade....ein Traum

We walked here for dinner and loved it. Very professional service by the barkeeper, a lovely jazz band playing in the background, immaculately clean and an utterly adorable atmosphere. Not to mention the food was perfect. Four nights of pub food in London, and this was by far the best.

Went to the Angel this evening as it has become my preferred local. All staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is ideal…. you can hear yourselves talk! The food served at the tables has always been very good love their sausage and mash. This evening sampled their new line in take out fish and chips I believe available until almost closing time but correct me if I am wrong. Very well thought out and nicely packaged, mostly recyclable , little pots of tartar, ketchup, mayonnaise, vinegar and mushy peas. Opening the box to see a good size piece of cod, lightly battered and a decent portion of chips as well. Thoroughly enjoyed after a few pints and a refreshing change from the normal go to of pizza burger or KFC. Well done the Angel keep it up. Give it a try. V

Great food with lots of options for all (vegetarian too), excellent staff and service with fun friendly attitudes. Will definitely go back.

Have been there twice now with large family groups of 10 or so friends and family. One night was quiz night (very fun!) and both times the food and service were excellent. The food is high quality British pub food, with modern choices and everything very fresh. The fish and chips were excellent (per my sister in law) and the chickpea/broccoli/chicken salad I had was wonderful, as were the desserts. The kids enjoyed themselves as well. We will definitely go back soon.

Lovely friendly service, great food and relaxing surroundings.

Great food and very good service at this restaurant. We enjoyed our lunch and the area is wonderful to explore.

It was great and we loved the ambience

My girlfriend and I were meeting a friend at this pub for an impromptu pint. Upon arriving my girlfriend felt quite unwell with heatstroke and the staff/management couldn’t have been more helpful. They brought ice water, got her a wet cloth and sat us next to their AC unit and were very kind throughout. They were so helpful we decided to stay for lunch and the food turned out to be fantastic. We had three good sized appetisers for £16 and it was plenty for the 3 of us. 10/10 would recommend a visit for food or drinks.

The food and service were great - nothing to improve!

Nice pub at the top of Highgate. We had a nice dinner. The portions are a little bit on the small side but the food was delicious.
