Reviews Angel & Harlequin Bistro

Review based on a group of 20 having an early Sunday Xmas lunch. Normally you see plates of gorgeous food with no idea of how appetising it is, what better to see what was left of a turkey lunch with all the trimmings, that's right two Brussel sprouts, and they were the only disappointment, hard as bullets. The desert, bread and butter pudding was unconventionally presented but tasted superb, only let down by the canned custard. Overall good food in pleasant surrounding with good service.

My friend recommended that we come here so we did, and I am glad that we did. The pub/bistro is very cute, I love the interior design. You can just turn up you don't have to book. The coffee was really good and the food was very tasty. The menu isn't massive but it is only a small bistro, and sadly there is only 1 vegan option, so maybe would recommend trying to have more vegan/vegetarian options. Overall lovely experience and would recommend

Had Sunday Lunch today 2 July Was absolutely delicious, the beef was so tender it melted in your mouth, variety of vegetables, crispy roast potatoes, giant Yorkshire pudding. Dessert fruit crumble and custard amazing. Glass of Malbec and finished with coffee. Definitely recommended x

I found this local Bistro recently and have visited on a couple of occasions; once for lunch and another time for dinner. The Angel and Harlequin is a quaint looking pub on the exterior but cosy and chicly decorated inside. The staff are all friendly and service throughout my visits was prompt but not rushing. The food was generally all of a good quality and appropriate portion sizes. I had an eggs Benedict for the lunch, and a camembert to share, burger and milkshake for the evening meal. They were all priced fairly but I did find the ice cream milkshake a little plain. Will definitely be visiting again and well worth the trip if you are in the area.

This place was amazing....great list of specials, staff were incredibly helpful. I had the fillet steak pizza. Food so good we went back the next day for brunch.

We went today for my birthday. It’s our first visit and we absolutely loved it. The food and service were spot on. We will definitely be returning

We had a big family Christmas lunch on Saturday - 23 of us. I picked the Angel and Harlequin for its reviews, its vegetarian friendly menu and its location (giving us all equal travelling to do). I was blown away by the location and the lovely countryside surrounding the village. We all liked the place and the food and the beer! Even my sister-in-law, who was a catering professional, was complimentary about the food. We could choose from either the daily menu or the Christmas menu and it looked to me from the family’s responses (the silence that descended while everyone got stuck into the mains) that the options were equally good. The Welbeck Abbey pale ale on draught was very nice indeed. For a party it is advisable to book well ahead and you need to pay a deposit to secure the booking and order menu choices a week in advance. But that is fairly usual. The upstairs room was very comfortable - comfy sofas even - and had a very cosy atmosphere. Sometimes rooms for groups can be a bit functional but not this one. It has an aesthetic. Be aware there are steps and no lift but we had both elderly and disabled (not wheelchair bound though) members of our party and everyone coped. The steps are not many, not that steep and there is a sturdy handrail. We hung a round chatting after the meal and nobody came to chuck us out even though I know there were later bookings. All round the A and H ticked all the boxes and came up trumps. I felt I was taking a bit of risk picking a restaurant I had not personally visited for our family “do”. With so many people involved and it being a rare occasion for us all to get together I really didn’t want it to bomb! And it didn’t. It was throughly enjoyable.

I had my leaving do at the Angel on Saturday afternoon. The food was amazing and the staff couldn’t do enough to help! Great food/ staff and wonderful atmosphere, thank you

Absolutely delicious pizza and steak! The staff were lovely and very welcoming! Will definitely be going back. The deep fried mushy peas couldn't be missed!!
