In general a good local pub - however service is not the best and ...as always with rip-off Britain..seriously let down by average to very poor food.

Vegetarian Niçoise consists of:
- half an egg (boiled until the yolk has a sad gray halo)
- blob of hummus, couple of chopped tomatos, generous handful of leaves
- enough cheap vinegrette to coat the inside of the mouth, dribble down the chin and still leave a puddle at the bottom of the dish once I'd finished.
Awful food, won't eat there again.
On the plus side they must have sorted the toilets out since Feb as there was no stinkyness.

Good pub, decent selection of continental lagers.

Great pub !
Try the Kuppers Kolsch.
The manager is dreamy x

We ate here for lunch last Sunday and I was so disappointed. Friends of ours had been a few times last year and were always impressed but we all agreed this was not a great pub.
We were initially seated between what can only be described as two sets of rather pungent toilets.
After some persuasion they agreed to move us.
We all had the roast, I had beef, the rest chicken.
The beef was tough, fatty, greasy and full of gristle.
The "roast" potatoes were slimey on the outside and undercooked on the inside and the whole lot was swimming in gravy that had the consistency of water.
Pudding was ok, not as good as when my friends had eaten there before. Maybe this place has changed hands recently but I wont be hurrying back.

Without a doubt the worst experience i have had in a pub for a long time. There were two staff on, one of whom ignored my friends and i for about 10 minutes whilst she flirted with her boyfriend even though there was no one else at the bar.
The food was disappointing - when we ordered, we were given no indication of how long it would take. The one chef working was working like a mad man trying to get food out, and when it arrived over an hour late it was disappointing to say the least!
I will not be going again.

Thought it was a good place to have a quiet pint with some mates until one of the bar staff (mentioned in another review) after two years of drinking there, asked us for ID??? Very arrogant and condescending seeing as we are all over 21! We were happy to all show our driving licenses and tell him where to go! No more Angel for us, back to the Wrestlers! Another thing, the toilets are a disgrace, as mentioned in another review.

I love this pub. The atmosphere is great the lighting is good (dark). The bar staff are friendly (apart from one saffa that was working there...God he was ignorant) The wednesday quiz is a good craic and the burger is great.
You get nice looking women in there....what more can you ask?

|
Nice pub. Good beers and good service. Wednesday quiz night is fun.
|
Dogs allowed if on lead

Nice pub. Have been in a couple of times and always received friendly service. Lovely food too.
Rank toilets though.

I had an enjoyable few pints of Heineken in here on Sunday evening. It was pretty busy with a fairly young crowd, but the layout of the pub is good so there was plenty of standing room.
One of the bar staff managed to squirt me straight in the eye with water from the drip tray glass rinse. Even though he still had a smirk on his face he did actually apologise.
It was over £1 for a packet of crisps, so heaven knows what a full meal costs.
I would go back here as it was a good laugh.

Walk over Hampstead Heath in winter and if the Flask is too full, try and get a seat by the open fire in the Angel.

Ate here again, was in Highgate with my parent before walking across to Hampstead over Parliament Hill. Again, the food was good - fish & chips, sausage & mash, burger & chips, all up to scratch. Good beer (lots of interesting bottled and draught continentals, though we drank TT Landlord from dimpled handle mugs).
Nice staff, friendly relaxed atmosphere on a Sat afternoon. I'd visit again.

A Typical Managed House.No Standards.Poor Service.V.V.Poor Food. For its Location. Anywhere Else This Would Surely Struggle.

Been in here many times. Not had a bad experience, yet. Good selection of beers. Not too overpriced (considering it is Highgate). Normal (unpretentious) barstaff, always polite to me. Most of the punters in here are relatively normal, too. Very few Nathan Barleys. Probably the only pub in Highgate I would recommend.

Lovely pint of Tim Taylor Landlord and decent meals (fish and chips, burger and chips). Not packed like the other pubs around the area as it doesn't have a beer garden.
Another of M&B's "unbranded" pubs - like the nearby Flask. Therefore you can expect an excellent beer selection and, although it is unbranded, an eerily similar experience to many other boozers across London...

Timothy Taylor Landlord is kept to a top standard in this establishment. When visiting I have found staff to be friendly and amenable, and remember a pleasant evening last July when I took my cousin from the Caribbean here for a meal and a few beers - she loved it!
|
I'll always remember it for a mid-90s boxing day when there was a hilarious full-on bar brawl with punters being thrown along the pub floor. Police stopped it awww ;)
|
A nice pub. SLightly pretentious (no surprise being in HIghgate) but it is redeemed purely by not being The Flask. Congrats.
|
Very nice little pub,lots of interesting beers, interesting entertainment too.Going back again with my friends.Best approacehd from the top of the hill if you are on foot though.
|
Did not feel comfortable in here having a drink. On the upside good selection of beer.
|
The Angel is a good all-rounder and it's my local which makes it even better!

We had a good time once the barman had stopped his poor attempts at comedy. Great place on a Sunday to have lunch and flick through the papers... but only if the Flask is full.
|
Nice little pub, can get quite crowded at times but that's the mark of a good pub. The food is excellent and always leaves you wanting more. Slightly expensive but that comes from being in a trendy area, and me being used to student hangouts like Wetherspoons. I highly recommend this place, but make sure you come from Highgate tube as the walk up the hill from Archway is a pain! 8/10
