We had high expectations given the reviews, but were disappointed. The room and patio were not very…read morecomfortable- but the worst of it was the way we were treated. They were just not very gracious about seating us or making us feel welcome. We were walk-ins and felt like second class citizens from the moment we arrived. They offered us a table in the back we didn't like and requested a specific table in the front room but we're told it was "taken" (but remained empty the whole time we were there). They finally moved us to the empty patio but said "we need this table back in one hour." The server was unable to offer any suggestions, instead saying "everything is good." As for the food, my wife had oysters which were fantastic. I had the burger, which was a pile of meat of every kind on a soggy bun. They simply tried too hard with a burger. When I asked to have the sauce on the side, they said that I could have it "on or off" but not in the side. They'd bring me ketchup and mustard on the side. Strange rule... Ultimately, we probably didn't try enough of their food to make an overall comment that n food quality, but in terms of service, they have a long, long way to go even if their food is spectacular.

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

Never have I ever left a restaurant in tears. You know when…read moreyou just *feel* the racism? It doesn't need to be blatant but is usually subtle. POC will understand 100% that feeling. We booked this last minute and as soon as we walked in, were ignored. A white couple came in after us and the blonde waitress went directly around us and took them to a table. I made direct eye contact as she was taking them, as if to say, I saw that and yes we're still here. She intentionally avoided us completely after as we were standing there waiting to be helped. The man behind the bar saw, seated us instead, and then we were ignored for another 20 minutes. I asked another blonde waitress if we could be helped and she said WE'LL GET TO YOU. She had never even acknowledged our presence or existence prior. I was already so upset we just decided to leave after that. We left with empty bellies and a trip to a local grocery store instead. There's a Yelp review from 9 days ago about this and one on TripAdvisor from this month saying the EXACT SAME THING.

Had lunch recently at the Bell at Stow and was very happy with our meal. Everything was really…read moredelicious, and very filling. We had: - Crispy Lincolnshire Poacher, roasted sweet potato, honey roasted carrots, baby spinach, chicory, avocado (£8.50) - basically a grown up mozzarella stick that was so delicious we had a hard time getting our mom to share bites with us. - Mixed roast beef and pork, crackling & Apple sauce w/ goose fat potatoes, double egg Yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, honey roasted roots cauliflower cheese and gravy (£16.50) - thank god we saw another table receive their servings first because then we knew this was a huge portion to be shared. Very good, traditional English meal - Crispy pork belly, creamy truffle mash, baby spinach, roasted button onion, cauliflower purée, apple sauce (£16.50) - delicious, especially the creamy truffle mash. Service was friendly although we had to catch their attention a bit more than I like. The space has a welcoming, well-decorated pub feel but well lit. We realized afterwards that they had out door seating which would have been nice to take advantage of with the fantastic weather! There is a parking lot out front.

Our server was super nice and talked to us a lot about what to see in town (and neighboring towns), and she brought our 3 year old son some chocolate ice cream, courtesy of the restaurant.

Ha just kidding we weren't eating like peasants. Maybe more like the royalties extended family. Anyway, I think the most notable thing to say here is that out waitress was such a champ given the company. Yes, we might have friends that are a bit more, shall we say "needy" than the average peasant. Anyway, our wait staff was fabulous and the food was absolutely fabulous. Yes, the portions were not huge (as our friend pointed out and our waitress noted first), but they were still very yummy. Really you can't go wrong with any of them- the smoked salmon salad, asparagus salad and tomato salad were all really fresh and beautifully presented. And the fried fish and squid were also really yum. The outside seating is really pretty as well. It's cozy and fun and we had a really nice time.

Service was very friendly and we enjoyed the fact that they served food even after the normal lunch hour range.

It's a nice pub and establishment. When you enter there's a bar and some cozy indoor seating with natural light. Nothing fancy. There's also a wonderful outdoor patio, which is where we sat. There's two floors to it and most of the seating is covered. The service by workers were all friendly and nice. We ordered with them then paid at the bar. We shared Duck and Orange Pate. It was thick, tasty, and complex but well balanced. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich--the mixed leaves were tasty, the chicken crispy, and honestly it was a filling sandwich. I would say I'd like more in between the bread but it did fill me up. You've got plenty of pub options in Burford, but we quite enjoyed our time at The Angel. It's off Witney Street and a nice place to dine!
