user reviews of the Angel, Woodbridge

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Inside the pub looks like a building site at present so there was only outdoor table service on Saturday afternoon. What seemed like a promising beer menu at first became more prosaic in the absence of a canned cherry sour and 2 of the 6 listed cask ales (although perhaps I should have checked the website in case the printed menu hadn't been updated). That still left Lacons Encore, Woodforde's Bure Gold and Headcracker and Mauldons Silver Adder (my choice). Would be willing to visit again another time as the service was particularly friendly.

Looks like an olde worlde pub from the outside but doesn't have the feel of one. Ale was okay (third choice after first two had gorn ). The clientelle were a bit UTOAs. Wouldn't rush back.

A pub that tries to improve, get a warm welcome with decent beer shame it`s quiet during the week. Food is ok but not cheap for a pub at woodbridge.

Good pub, friendly staff and good interesting menu. Range of six ales on offer - mostly from local larger breweries. Over 70 gins on offer which, if the landlady is behind the bar, you can have the whole nine yards about the histories and 'tasting notes' of any gin featured. Atmosphere very comfortable, great place to rest after a hard days golf on the local course. Highly recommended, maybe good do with a more adventurous ale portfolio to keep their heads above the rival pubs in the area

All has changed, and very much for the better.

Regular guest ales - interesting ones, not from 'the usual suspects'.

Great food, well prepared.

New management friendly and we enjoy the lovely fire wish they could make the fire face both lounges the one without a fire feels a little empty everyone crowds into the fireplace lounge.

suggest getting a few plants to put in the cafe style part.
Wherry one of the best pints on offer here does not give me digestive upsets like the adnams bitter (better broadside)

had a roast good for the money.

overall very pleasant

A great pub to be in on a cold, dank winters afternoon.
The furnace of an open fire could have warmed peoples hands down by the river !

The traditional, wooden beamed bar had a homely atmosphere with candles adding to the effect. Although really quiet - we only witnessed 3 other customers - the locals are making a mistake by giving this place a miss.
The mulled wine and mince pies were a nice surprise - which 2 of our party swiftly took advantage of !

A good solid range of ales with Wherry & Adnams Bitter along with a guest ale from Shenstones = 3 Spires, which was really satisfying.

All has changed at The Angel. The pub has recently been taken over by Woodbridge boy Chris and his Wife Sarah. Big changes in place and more to come. Open fire, friendly staff, good beer and when all done great food.

A great pub!!

Great pub. Fantastic barmaid. Too much disco on the juke box. Great beer. Beat pint of Adnams in Woodbridge without a doubt. Keep up the good work.

Theoretically has real ale but in practice it's rarely on.

Loud juke box, louder yobs playing pool in the bar.

All the atmosphere it once uused to have went three or four 'redecorations' ago, the lounge is a bare room without any compensatory charm.

There seems nothing to recommend it.
