In the day it tends to be filled with people with no-where else to go. The beer is cheap, the wine cheaper still, and the food is actually pretty OK for the price. Due to the size of the place, the kitchen may as well be in a different county, so food is often a little less hot than expected, but generally the quality and portion sizes are OK. Overall, good food, low prices. family friendly.

A charmingly refined place to eat. You could be in a top London restaurant. I've wanted to eat at…read morethe New Angel for a long time and I was not disappointed. We had dinner (make sure you book) but they do lunch as well. The French maître d' made sure he made everyone feel welcome and had clearly spent time in high profile restaurants - a nice touch. Food was classic French. You could tell the chef has spent a lot of time selecting his produce, every mouthful of every course was tasty and cooked to the highest standard. My Main course of pan fried foie gras sitting on lamb was exquisite with just the right delicate flavours going on. I would have to say that the foie gras tasted better than I've had in France! Wine selection was very extensive - we had the house Red - perfect. For desert i had Crème brûlée which was as it should be, chilled in the middle with the sugar cripsy on top and not burnt. I have not had better anywhere else. If you are holidaying down in the southwest and you like really good food - this is a gem of a place to stop. Oh and by the way they have a Michelin star so a la carte can be expensive.

The kitchen is visible from the dining room which has the feeling of a large chef's table as a result. John Burton-Race was cooking when we went there for lunch this week. Whereas most Michelin-starred chefs seem to spend more time on television than in the kitchen, it's really good to see him actually doing the business instead of talking about it. The food was excellent - good ingredients, well cooked. I had a crab tortellini and my wife had chicken liver pate to start and we both had turbot for the main course. For pudding I had a souffle and my wife had a parfait. With two glasses of champagne, some water and a tip, the total came to just over £120. Which sort of serves us right for ordering off the a la carte menu. We should have stuck with the better value prix fixe lunch menu. Last time I was here for lunch, it was pretty busy but this week there were only three tables occupied. I suspect that in season (not in April), for dinner and on weekends bookings are necessary. So, good food, good location and a reasonable price if you don't leave the prix fixe menu. So what's not to like. Frankly, it's the service. The whole thing was very professional but utterly charmless, cold, distant and verging on the rude. For example, when we arrived the maitre d' actually stood in the inner doorway blocking our entrance until we had, awkwardly, explained that we were coming for lunch and had reservations. It just didn't feel very hospitable and the only time the froideur lightened was when we were paying up. The food and location deserve five stars. But for the money and to live up to its reputation, The New Angel really needs to relax a bit and welcome its guests with more than ruthless efficiency and a grimace.

Their special , and what they are renouned for, are their sizzling steak lunches ( circa £5.99 and available until 6.00pm ). It is absolutely first class - the sirloin steak is cooked on a cast iron platter, with fresh chips, tomatoes,peas and onions. You will be hard pushed to get a steak dinner anywhere in the UK, both at this price, and for deliciousness. They have a good choice of ales, I normally opt for Guinness or Bombardier Ale, with my sizzling steak. The landlord John is a no-nonsense, but very friendly chap, and his staff, are extremely friendly also, especially Bev. A well earned 10 out of 10, and another member of the Best Of British pub grub list. Try it, you won't regret it.
