Angel, Corbridgeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Following a visit to the High House Farm Brewery (not listed on here) in the middle of nowhere, I moved onto the riverside town of Corbridge. For some reason, I expected an industrial-type town. But this is quite a picturesque place. The Angel is a hotel with sky high prices. As I was driving, I had to settle for an apple juice and a pack of crisps. I nearly fell over when asked to pay £4.40. The front patio was very popular in the sunshine, whilst a few diners were finishing off their lunches in the modernised interior. Car parking is at the rear beyond a barrier, for which you need the code to get back out. Ales were Tyne Bank Silver Dollar, Wylam The Angel's Share (house beer), Cumberland Great Corby Ale, Mordue Workie Ticket & Hadrian Border Tyneside Blonde. But this place was far too expensive to linger.

Visited on a Friday evening in late June. The place was packed and very noisy. It's basically more a restaurant than a pub, and the food was quite good, as was the beer. Not really a place for a drinking session, though; fine if you want a meal and don't mind not being able to hear yourself think.

Its more than 0.1 of a mile from the station!! I agree with previous comments regarding the up market lounge area and the gastro pub feel of the bar area. It could not be described as a locals bar, there are others nearby, but it is a fine building with a pleasant sitting out area to the front and it serves very well kept real ales from 6 hand pulls. The local Allendale brewery is well represented.

visited this place with 7 mates,we did look out of place in this posh gastro type pub.must say the beer selection and quality was very good.beer price seemed expensive at�3.10 a pint,mind corbridge does seem a posh area.more in common with the prices we pay down south.

Great selection of real ale which is always in great condition. Can feel a bit posh but dont be put off... thou you must be comfortable with punters giving you a severe stare. Especially if you are dressed in a casual manner. The bar staff are very friendly and they certainly know their beer.

This is a very posh pub or hotel really (don't enter by the left hand door if under-dressed!) with light spacious feel and a food focus. Nevertheless it also has some interesting beers: High House Farm Nel's Best, Wylam Golden Tankard, and Durham Brewery Magus on my visit. One can sit outside overlooking the road and, on a warm september lunchtime, it seemed a good place for a pre-prandial.
