A charming village pub/restaurant in the heart of Lacock. We planned my mum's 70th there and the…read morestaff were really helpful from the beginning. Everyone was quick to respond to questions about the food/allergies and also about the bedroom set up. When we arrived, the team was welcoming and allowed us to set up a little bit early as we had hired a private room. The private room was expensive but it was a holiday weekend so understandable. Everyone was very happy with their food. Our large group ordered a variety of à la carte and set menu items. Most of the party had the beef shin and loved it. The burger was absolutely delicious too. The desserts were a good size and not too sweet at the end of a big meal. The food was reasonably priced but the sides of veggies were a bit ridiculous. We paid £14 for a few pieces of broccolini! The ambiance was great though and it was just the perfect place to throw a surprise party. There is no parking at the Angel, but there's a big car park about a 5-7 minute walk away (pay when you park). There is street parking much closer, but it got very busy after 10am and the roads are very small to navigate if you're not used to driving in this area. The hotel rooms were so quaint and cosy (very Harry Potter vibes). We have some very tall family members who had to crouch down a lot but it definitely added to the ambience. Our only bad experience and criticism was over breakfast the following morning. The service was terrible (it was not the same team as the previous day) and they were not particularly friendly. One breakfast came out about 30 minutes before the rest. I then went to ask if there was a problem and suddenly all the rest came out, but every dish was extremely cold and had clearly been sitting on the side as the sauce on the eggs benedict had set. We would have sent it back but as it took so long we only had a few minutes to check out of our rooms once everyone had finished. This would have been a 5 star review otherwise. As we were leaving, some of the lunch staff from the day before were coming and immediately greeted us again. Much better customer service! Overall a great experience but definitely let down by the morning staff.

My only regret about eating here was that I can't eat here often. I contacted the restaurant about…read morea month ago asking if they had vegan fare and they got right back saying they did. We made a reservation, to which we arrived slightly early. The place was empty (about 6.30pm), but by the time we left a few hours later, it was bustling. I had the vegan tempura starter, eggroll main (which I'm still thinking about), and the plum rice pudding dessert (which I sadly had to share with my partner). I'd eat all of it again. And again. And again. My partner had the scallop starter (on specials menu) which he describes as "divine". And he loved his lamb main so much that he actually started to pace his eating to make it last longer. Ambiance is beautiful, service is spectacular. With two starters, two mains, a pudding, and a bottle of prosecco, our bill was just over £80 - for the quality, we'd gladly pay that again in a heartbeat. I'd very happily come back to Lacock every time I'm back in England just to eat here.

Wonderful setting and very kind and friendly host. I would definitely recommend Barnbridge.read more
