Another perfect meal with sublime food, brilliant service and wonderful atmosphere. I had the pork which was out of this world, the flavour was just amazing.

This restaurant is a ‘hidden gem’ in North Devon. We were a group of 11 so had booked well in advance with menus pre-ordered. We weren’t disappointed. The food was all hot and just amazing. Carole is a fabulous chef and her assistant so helpful. This restaurant gets booked so booked up, but it’s worth the wait.

This is an artesian restaurant with a very long waiting list, however it is worth putting down your name as it’s a culinary experience not an ordinary meal out. Unique food in a wonderful atmosphere, I recommend a visit to enjoy this wonderful place.

I booked this almost 3 months in advance, for our wedding anniversary - and i have to say, it was well worth the wait. The service was understated but very efficient and the food was sublime. We had a beautiful Chablis with our meal, very well priced. My husband had a ‘delicious’ seafood starter and i had a well seasoned prawn crumble, both arrived at the table fresh from the oven and the accompanying toast and bread were still warm. We both chose lamb cutlets for our main and they were fabulous. Tender and perfectly cooked (pink) and the accompanying vegetables were red hot, perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. I didn't have room for a dessert, but my husband pronounced his ‘absolutely lovely’ and i have no reason to doubt his opinion! We were both stunned when it came to paying the bill - it was so cheap! We paid more for fish and chips last week than for the fantastic main course and i know which id rather have! I am amazed that this restaurant is not further up the trip advisor rankings - it is seriously one on the best places i have eaten at in a long time and it wont be long before i go again…. If i had to make a complaint, i found the seats uncomfortable but its such a minor thing that in no way would it put me off going again I have tried to book this restaurant for a while now, but whenever the opportunity arose they were fully booked. I booked in March to go in May, and as I left i noticed a sign saying they are fully booked until August, so if you want to go be advised to book well in advance.

Took us a long time to get booked in to The Angel. But my was it worth it. Lovely cheese,leek and mushroom for the wife. A mussel,mushroom crumble in a cheese sauce as a starter. Mains was lamb chops, cooked to perfection, loads of roast potatoes and veg. Too much for one but ha ho!! My wife had fish stew which she said was gorgeous. For a pudding my wife had the ginger pudding with brandy and caramel sauce. I had no room!!!! Had to book now for next year that’s how popular this small family run restaurant is. Brilliant
