The Angel Inn Yarwell in East Northamptonshire

Food good eventually after waiting 50 mins , due to two other large orders , there was only three orders at the time , very cold no heating and no running water in the toilet

Wonderful traditional country pub.

Best food around!!!! Very friendly staff and great service 100% go again!!

Lovely traditional pub. Excellent ambience. Delicious food, good value for money, great service. Whenever we stay in the area it's the one place we head for. Highly recommend.

Great place for a quick pint or a longer stay with a meal. Good selection of pub food cooked to order. Ham and eggs are home cooked in cider 😋. Has a great garden with pods and grass very dog friendly. 🐕. That makes a nice change. Staff are polite and helpful.

Such a lovely pub, deceivingly large!

My favourite pub. Good beer good food good company. Still good 15/10/23. :-)

Brilliant place, great atmosphere, great hosts

It’s a great pub, there’s a wait for food but worth it.

I eat here every week and it’s the best local pub that I have ever been to. The kitchen is not much bigger than my downstairs loo so when it is busy, most nights, there is a bit of a wait. When it comes it often interrupts your conversation with one of the locals and you wish they had been slower. There is nothing I can fault, the land lady and her partner/husband/bouncer for their effort to make your evening great. Keep it up and don’t retire.

Absolutely LOVE this pub!!! The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming and it’s easy to see just how much effort they put into the place. Both inside and the beer garden have been decorated in such a great quirky way, with so much attention to all the little things. You won’t find another pub like it in the area. The food is always great! Home cooked, large portions and they always cater well to our different dietary requirements. The chips smothered in their curry is my favourite! Very dog friendly in a beautiful setting! Huge thanks to the owners and staff for creating such a great, unique place. Thank you.

This is a fantastic pub. A wonderful atmosphere, great good and amazing people! Thank you to Nick, Di, Sherril and Amber for doing a brilliant!

A fantastic pub with amazing people and wonderful food. We are so grateful to Nick, Di, Sherril and Amber for everything that they do - a truly great and cherished pub!

A wonderful village pub with a fabulous team, we always enjoy popping in to see you all (Nick, Di, Amber & Sherril)! A firm favourite for all the Frosties (Nanna included) and the cider baked ham, egg and chips is a must (Sherril, you’re an absolute star!). Also you won’t find a better pub quiz! Thanks guys 🫶🍻

This is an amazing pub! Fantastic atmosphere, great food and wonderful people. We are so fortunate that the Angel is part of our community. Thank you to Nick, Di, Sherril and Amber.

Don’t visit as regular as we’d like or have in the past but it’s always a warm welcome and a pleasure to spend time either having a quiet drink, partaking in the quiz or having a burger with a pint. One of those unique, individual and valuable pubs that this country needs to retain.

We’ve popped by to The Angel on several occasions and each and every time have found it to be welcoming and fun. We’ve seen live bands, enjoyed festival days and charity days, met friends, had the food and generally always enjoyed ourselves. Don’t listen to the naynays who are trying to slate a hard-working team because they had a bit of a wait for their tea on a busy day, they always work hard in the pub and do everything they can to make customers welcome.

Ate here last night, had the chilli. When ordering, unlike most places, we were asked how spicy we would like it. A great little pub, family run which always delivers an enjoyable time.

Beautiful little pub - great atmosphere. Went to watch the demo cats play, I recommend

Went to this pub after seeing the reviews. Positives: decor is very quirky and unique. Negatives: Food took 1.5hours+ to arrive. Staff members were rude when questioned about it. Food quality was extremely poor. Avoid this place for food you're better off going to McDonald's.

What a lovely country pub ..came here to try out the quiz night and although we didn't do well we were made very welcome felt like it was my local.. wish it was!! definitely be calling in again soon

Outstanding service and food. Very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. Lots of memorabilia around. Garden with plenty of tables under cover x

We were staying on the Yarwell Mill campsite and nipped in for a cheeky lunchtime drink and snack. Based on our experience we then returned for the evening karaoke fun. As per other reviews, one glance at the walls and the passage on the menu tells you there's a sense of humour running through the core of the pub. As a middle-aged group it ticked all the right boxes for us and certainly raised a smile. Service was friendly, with a good deal of banter. Our snacks were tasty and prompt. It just so happened that it was karaoke night, which we joined in with and almost became locals for the night. Great fun and a proper mix of tunes being sung, we could have gone on all night. Just a short stagger back to the caravans, all of us agreeing it'd been a fantastic find. We will definitely be back, if they'll have us after our singing obviously!

Amazing place to drop in for some food and a beer, defo will come back.

Beautiful old pub with a really lovely outside space. The bar staff are so welcoming and friendly, especially to our doggo ☺️ 🐶

What a fantastic pub … nothing else to say ….

Great pub, full of laughs and very quirky.

This pub is very quirky! I stopped here on a walk along the Nene way a while ago and had some lunch there which was really good. I like the way the staff were so accommodating towards our four legged friends. Service has always been very good and the 3 times I have eaten there the food has been top dollar. Very good indeed.

Great little quirky village pub.

Excellent tasty food a very warm welcome a lovely place to eat and drink. Very dog friendly 😍😍

Good lunch, cosy fire and a unique decor. The hosts were charming and it was very pleasant indeed.

Great little pub, unique and friendly

What a beautiful little place with a lot of Christmas WOW!! Fabulous mulled wine 😋

Really warm and vibrant atmosphere. Great beer too.

Fantastic, The way good pubs used to be

Decorated for Christmas. Cosy fire and dog friendly. perfect quaint village pub. They do food but we only popped in for drinks after a dog walk.

Fantastic, cozy, atmospheric, good beer, good tea, extremely friendly landlady and landlord. Apparently always something happening, quiz nights, karaoke etc. In the middle of nowhere but very definitely worth travelling to.

Nice friendly place, good food good service, good banter with the staff, well worth a visit,

Wonderful atmosphere. Very good pub food. Especially steak and Stilton pie. Highest rating.

We popped in for the first time one lunchtime a couple of weeks ago, stopping by with our dog for a pint at the end of a thirsty walk. We were made very welcome, including our black lab, then sitting on the bench outside the front to enjoy our drinks & a packet of crisps in the late summer sunshine. In an area heavily (over) populated with gastro pubs (nice enough I guess) we're kicking ourselves for not trying The Angel Inn before now. We miss the traditional pub so we're really looking forward to revisiting soon. Just wish it was a bit closer to home.

This pub is wicked, it mixes the traditional style with a modern twist, someone definitely has a good eye for decor. Pool, darts and a garden, foods good too!

I covered a wedding here. Fantastic place and dog friendly too. Lovely village.

Its a village pub in a village. Couldn't ask for more.

We had a nice lunch and caught up with friends. The food was nicely cooked and we had 3 beers and a coffee, all good thank you.

Nice welcoming country pub bring your dog wipe your boots have a good meal

This is a lovely little pub, tucked away in the village of Yarwell. The eclectic collection of items on display make it an interesting place to visit. The staff are all very polite and chatty and the service is good. This is not a fast food restaurant, so be prepared to wait a reasonable time for your food to be lovingly cooked by their team. They have a good selection of real ale and a choice of lagers for those who like a pint or three. Spirits and liquors are plentiful. As they stress on their website, they are primarily a pub, which serves food also. As such, their menu isn’t too large, but what food they do offer is wholesome and plentiful. If you’re after a jus, parfait or any other pretentious fayre, you’ll be disappointed. On the other hand, if you prefer good old home cooked ham, tasty burgers, jacket potatoes and other traditional dishes, you should be more than happy here. Although this was our first time eating here, we are certain to return in the near future.

Popped in en route to a parachute jump. Awesome pub. Lovely decor, welcoming hosts and great beer & food. What more could you want?!

Quirky village pub with good food & drink. Nice atmosphere - locals and staff all very friendly.

Fantastic food and fantastic hospitality Certainly recommend this place. Thank you for a great evening. We will certainly be back. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

This pub claims to be “a traditional village pub with a hint of cheek” and it’s a proposition they deliver on 100%. The team are friendly and welcoming, there’s a nice selection of drink on tap and typical pub menu - cooked to perfection. The fun & eclectic decor has a “punk” shabby chic feel to it and I’d imagine in the winter it’s a lovely cosy place to be. Would definitely revisit if back in the area.

Great atmosphere in a friendly down to earth pub. Good food at a good price. Would definitely recommend this place

Nice friendly local pub. Try the cheesie chips.

Thank you to Nick and Di for an amazing meal and such a wonderful evening. What a wonderful evening.

The pub itself is beautiful, very quaint and off the beaten track, staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food however was poor. I ordered a vegetarian lasagne and it's possibly one of the worst ones I've had which was disappointing. It was 3/4 cheese and the rest lasagne sheets and tomato sauce, I couldn't find any vegetables in it. I'd possibly return for drinks if ever we're in the area, but food for me is to be avoided, which was a shame.

This is my favourite pub garden, they always have the best music playing! Great pub with a good selection of beers and cider and always a friendly welcome when walking in 😊

A little gem in a lovely village near the river Nene. Good bar staff and lovely beer garden! Well worth the visit!

We walked here whist staying the weekend at nearby Rockingham forest and what a lovely pub. The staff were so welcoming and the beer garden was amazing. Everywhere was decorated with quirky objects that were real talking points. It was so lovely we went twice.

Great food. Games on hand to borrow and play. Darts and pool available. Clean toilets. Friendly staff. Decent beer. Reasonably priced. Welcomes walkers, families, couples, bikers, dogs, welcomes all.

Very nice food great great staff friendly

The best pub I've been in for a long long time. Friendly welcoming staff in the most interesting of settings. Absolutely fantastic place.

Dwindling in numbers rapidly this is an almost extint species. A village pub. It's a pub that serves food and not as most are now a restaurant that tolerates drinkers. A comment on here accused the food of being mediocre. Not sure that is strictly accurate, basic certainly but mediocre is a bit harsh. If you want sauteed hedgehog with wilted nettles and beetroot jus, or squirrel au gratin with stir fried doc leaves and a creosote reduction then you are in the wrong place. Many places locally will cater for these needs if you so wish. One observation about this pub is that it's possibly in the wrong country my family coming from Ireland it has a more celtic feel with it being informal friendly, dog friendly and musical. Occasional impromptu song nights with Ukelele and guitars are common. The Kareoke nights are very entertaining. I used to hate the damn thing before coming to the Kareoke here I had only done it once before on a very drunken night in a bar in Bermuda about 30 years ago. To be honest I use it as a way of rehearsing performing in our village panto, but for a small venue there are some really good voices. The odd song has been adapted into a pub anthem. Dave's version of Sweet Caroline invites audience participation and possible legal action by Neil Diamond. IF you want a pub as they used to be entertaining, friendly, informal occasionally musical, even educational with the quiz nights then this is one of the few left. My only regret is it;s a dying breed of pub, but perhaps this has given the niche market it needs to survive. Long may it continue.

Absolutely fabulous pub. Nick and Di are fantastic hosts. Very welcoming.They work really hard arranging quiz's and Entertainment. Lovely food. Good value . Thoroughly recommend.

This is such a lovely traditional pub that has a small but ample food menu and the food was well worth the visit A very popular pub in the village and everyone was very friendly The Landlords have a brilliant sense of humour too can't wait to return and sit by the fire

Very good food and good price the staff are friendly aswell

Possibly the loveliest little pub I’ve ever been in! The staff and customers are really friendly, great service, and excellent karaoke. Just wonderful!

Love it here. It's quaint & welcoming. The staff are very friendly. The food is excellent.

It was my birthday and my brother took me and my daughter's out for dinner. It's a lovely little pub, really nice. Food did take a while to arrive but that gave me no cause to make them down on stars. Best part of the visit was when my brother walked in with a surprise birthday cake for me and everyone in the pub joined in singing!! Absolutely brilliant.

Best pub I've been into for a long while, friendly locals, friendly staff, tasty food & just a bloody good atmosphere 👌 look forward to going back

Great local pub with a good selection of beers etc on draught. Friendly staff and a warm welcome is always given to all customers.

Nice place, friendly staff, good food. Nice to see dogs welcome and whilst the place has its own vibe, was inviting to everyone. Particularly enjoyed the humour in the menu small print. Also really liked that it's a pub being a pub, ordered food and drinks, paid for it all up front and walked out when finished/ready. No messing about trying to catch the eye of a waiter or any of that stuff! Don't change :)

We were on holiday between Wansford and Yarwell, and found this fantastic pub on the off chance. From the outside it looks like a small pub, but that is deceptive. It's an independent pub, with a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and where dogs are allowed. The service was very friendly, polite, efficient, and we felt like nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, and good value for money, and tasted like it was freshly made to order, in our opinion. Just as we were leaving, a gentleman was about to play some live music. As a family of 4 we had a fantastic evening, and would thoroughly recommend this pub to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic, traditional British pub. Lovely staff. Fantastic beer garden. Good, unpretentious pub food. Wish it was close enough to be our local, we'd be in every weekend!

A proper pub! And it's dog-friendly too.

what a fantastic welcome to a lovely friendly village pub the crew where absolutely great,the food and service was first class well done to all

Real pub experience .... Drinking and talking to one another.

What an amazing surprise! This place reminded us equally of a quaint pub in historic York, a bijou covert establishment in Brighton, and a beach bar on an island in Thailand. The people of Yarwell are blessed and we'd even consider moving here from Oundle to be near to this place. Do yourself a favour and go in to explore. Excellent all round!

Brilliant pub great atmosphere superb staff and friendly absolutely agree 👍👌

Great people, great decor, great beer

Fabulous friendly pub. Great food. Very friendly locals . Had a great evening.

whilst staying over in next village to yarwell. we visited on a Wednesday evening we have visited the angel over the years when residents at the yarwell mill caravan park.. always a great place to go especially before the pandemic when it rocked with live bands and music festivals Nick and DI and their staff team always offer a nice warm welcome the food is as the menu states cooked to order it arrives fresh and piping hot and portions to meet any appetite the rear garden is great giving plenty of room in these spaced out times as we had not eaten since breakfast we rather quickly ate out meals there was more than enough to eat.. great value for money there are not many pubs around like this and credit to the owners for keeping “what a pub should be alive” RECOMMEND. you will not be disappointed we are back in September when caravanning in next village. graham and janet leicestershire

Fantastic beer garden very dog friendly, oh beer was great too.

Truly wonderful food and beer staff also wonderful brilliant

Great pub in lovely sleepy village. Large walled beer garden at back despite the tiny looking frontage. Food is good and reasonable. Home made pizza was particularly good. I wanted something with salad which was easily accommodated. Fine real ale from local brewery. Very friendly staff. Delightful evening spent in the sun.

What a fantastic local pub! A real gem we stumbled across! We had drinks and food which was all served with friendly smiles. The atmosphere was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back if on the area. We needed to get back to our accommodation which we found out we would need to walk back to ( about an hour ) as there were no taxis in the area. An amazing lovely local man offered to drive us, after the bar staff asked if anyone was going our way. You really can’t beat a local pub and the amazing staff and locals really make it! You will not be disappointed if you visit!

What an amazing village pub in a delightful location. The staff were very accommodating and friendly.... very quirky decor throughout... lovely pub.

Good food. Great atmosphere under difficult times. Been going for many years.

Found The Angel thanks to TripAdvisor. We received a friendly warm welcome from Sheryl (Cheryl?), on a cold Saturday lunchtime. Lovely to see an open fire which added to the charm and atmosphere of a good old fashioned pub, wish it was our local! Due to Covid the track and trace, sanitising of tables and table service were all adhered to, hand sanitiser available also. The menu was substantial and of good quality and quantity. Excellent and attentive service. Take time to read the small print it is accurate but humorous! Overall we all agreed it was a good find, well done to the owners for keeping a local pub as it should be.

Lovely burgers, good selection of gins and a few ales. Well priced and good service.

We have just found the best pub in England via Google 5 of us from different places 3 of us are still staying here and may revisit Good to see old fashioned puddings

Visited on Wednesday night. Bar staff was friendly and very welcoming. The place is quirky in s good way, clean and beer tasted very good. Will be visiting again.

Lovely independent pub with a food ale selection and great staff. Cute and quirky decor.

Lovely friendly pub with a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit have not sampled the food. The shandy I had was excellent and the Jazz band and singer an extra bonus.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff and a great atmosphere. A brilliant little quintisential British local.

Having lived in a nearby village for 20 + years it's taken me way too long to get to visit what I've imagined was a pub designed for me. After finally arriving there I was right. A friendly welcome from staff, chatty locals, great choice of beer and great pub grub which was piled high and just what we needed. So nice to have chips served on a plate rather than have half a dozen stacked in a pathetic mini basket, a pet hate of mine. As their website says, they're not a restaurant they are a pub that does a bit of food. My daughters are not really fans of pub food, they've been taken in by the marketing of city centre chain places of which none have the character of the Angel, but even they were impressed and want to come back. It makes things seem so easy when you get a warm welcome, served pleasantly etc etc, just what a pub should be. Will try to make this our local.

Great local pub. Old style drinking. Loved it, the staff and patrons. Thanks for running this establishment in this way.

Quirky little village pub, great staff, great decor and great beer!

Strange one......beautiful 17th century pub, lovely atmosphere, set in a stunning village, great customer service, 4.7 stars of Google, 5 star food hygiene but......terrible terrible god awful food, despite stating "100% British Beef" on the menu my burger was a full on "rat" burger, the cheapest of the cheap meat available from the likes of bookers/wholesalers, I'd recommend going for drinks only. Really disappointing, whilst they do not claim to be a restaurant for me it's not too hard to nip to the local butchers and get some quality mincemeat to flame grill.

Fantastic food great atmosphere

Did my homework before coming here. Was intrigued by the rules involving Kids and food. I agree wholeheartedly that bringing children into a pub is a privilege not a right. Wish more people thought this too. Took our 3 year old grandson and met up with an old friend who now lives in Peterborough. Ordered Pizza, Curry and a large portion of chips and an extra plate for my grandson. Food was served hot and was well presented. Plenty of food to go round and all very tasty. Made welcome by the locals. Good choice of beer & ciders. Noticed that to get tickets for New Years Eve you had to be a regular, nice touch. Will definitely come again when in the area, may even drive there especially. Good to see a pub with principles. Must be a good formula as they have survived 15 years, which is no mean feat.
