The Angel is a rejuvenated, historical pub nestled in the quaint village of Kelvedon, on the suburbs of Essex. With rustic country charm through the interiors, there are plenty of cosy or lively spots to sit back and enjoy alongside great company. Situated on the doorstep of the high street, The Angel is perfectly located for both locals and passing city goers. This Colchester treasure provides the neighbourhood with a hub of friendly faces and warm welcomes. With direct links to London's Liverpool Street Station, it's a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

    Fabulous lunch today. Hadn’t been in for a while as it wasn’t getting good feedback. But new management, team, layout and food was amazing. Will definitely be back again. The Angel is back to its excellent quality service.

    First time we have ever been out for christmas day dinner. I love my dinner at home so was very on the fence about it. So food was great, the owners were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. The guys waiting on us were very hands on and worked very hard. Always on hand. Enjoyed ourselves and was very happy with our choice. Deborah and her parents went above and beyond. Deborah even added an addition to our table 3days before christmas day. Very impressed with the overall experience. Xxx Tracey Townsend

    Such a lovely friendly place. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. We ate on Christmas Day so was very busy and one small criticism was the table was very small and we felt we were placed in a walk way. The food was very good. Will definitely return.

    A really lovely meal, plenty of it and it was hot. Served with a smile and it was not too expensive. We had to move the date and they were very accommodating. We had a meal there over a year ago and it wasn't very nice. We tried it again as there are new owners and we will most definitely be back.
