Hi, just wanted to say that I was in this pub last Sunday night and had a great time. They have started doing karaoke in there (which I love) and the atmosphere was superb. The DJ was fantastic and really friendly, he got me up to sing twice although it was busy. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Not only that but the best singer wins £20 (not me this time - some guy doing Elvis songs - he was good though).
I have been to several other karaoke nights in Bicester and they are not a patch on this. Either the DJ's are unfriendly and patronise you, or there's no atmosphere, or all the other singers are taking it too seriously and are really up themselves. Clearly the agenda at The Angel is about everyone having fun and this was spot on. The highlight for me was 4 guys singing Christmas songs in the middle of August - hilarious.
I used to think the Angel was a bit dull, but this has really livened it up - the drinks are reasonably priced too and the bar staff friendly. I will certainly be going back next Sunday.

Sadly it's gone downhill - the landlady gives first priority to having a fag in her kitchen so if you happen to arrive in the meantime you'll just have to wait. Would also suggest avoiding the gents unless you like standing in goodness knows what. Furthermore they often don't seem to have the beer you want. Lovely pub in the old days and I sincerely hope that they will turn it round but until then I'm afraid I shall give the place a miss. For old time's sake I'll give it 1/10

Decent Sunday lunch and a proper traditional local, but too smoky for me.

Friendly place. Has a few wino's but they're harmless. Music nights are good but deafening. Very smokey place. Quite a nice character place. Has the feel of a real pub. Beer is good and not badly priced.

Bit of useless information my great grand father was the last landlord to brew his own beer at the Angel.

Nice pub. Matt the landlord is friendly and they take their time kicking you out. Actually.. they don't. Good old pub this. Bit of trivia for you. Dates back to the 1600's I believe and used to be called the "Plasterers Arms" At one point I believe it was called "The Green Man" as well.

This is my local so perhaps I'm biased - a friendly place, no grub aside from Sundays but there's a good range of beers and a cheerful ambiance. The pub divides into two - a welcoming fire and good conversation in the front bar, for those who prefer sport on TV, music on the jukebox etc there's the backbar. I'm a frontbar sort myself!
