Disappointed that you had to Order by 8 and out by 9 and moved to the bar. Food good but I didn’t expect to be home just after 9

The owner shouldn’t run the place ! He’s pissed up behind the bar swearing around children. We stayed in room 106 the room was boggin ! Carpet full of stains and covered with old scatty rugs. The shower either had hot or cold water. Now...we went to the bar that the owner was working behind as no staff at the reception and told him that the water was either boiling or freezing he replied with (did you turn it on ) clearly I have and he then said well there is nothing I can do then …… you what mate !

Firstly, the roast dinners were perfectly pleasant. What wasn’t pleasant was 2 of our party getting their dinners a good ten minutes before the rest of the table, then hearing the cook screaming at the waiting staff whilst we all sat in the dining room...listening. No apology for the staggered service times. When I pointed out we were still waiting for one more dinner the cook shouted at me across the room. Then despite no one else being around we were ushered out of the dining room so they could tidy up ready for tomorrow (tomorrow is a Monday so to struggle to see how busy they expect to be, or why they didn’t want to continue getting drink money from a table of 16…). We weren’t asked if we wanted desserts and when we enquired about having some, (admittedly it was just gone 3pm) we were told we couldn’t have them. Won’t be returning. Had we been a smaller group we would have voted with our feet earlier in proceedings but felt that we were unlikely to find anywhere else locally that could do such a large group on Father’s DayMore

Locals hangout, well kept beer, and an excellent outdoor drinking dining area. Not much more you could ask for.

As visitors to the area we weren’t sure where to eat. We visited the Angel for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. There was 6 of us and a toddler. They were very helpful and although no set kids menu, the basket meals were great portions...and they even let us add veg to them. The staff were very patient even with our toddler crying and moaning because she didn’t want to sit down. Service was quick and drinks kept flowing. Recommended for lunch definitelyMore

Free parking is advertised but there is no parking! Only public car parking a walk away. Nothing on the road or nearby.

On a very wet day we decided to go have a nice traditional Sunday roast. With a few choices in Coleford, we choose the angel as it looked cosy, clean and homey. The waitress was very sweet but I feel she was not given the...training to provide better customer service. Again not her doing I might add. We ordered quickly and our drinks arrived, when I said I didn’t order a pint of soft drink and a coffee, there was no acknowledgement, apology or correction on the bill might I add. Okay, so the food arrived not too long a wait and huge portions. When asked did we want any condiments, like you do lamb mint sauce and apple sauce for pork. No apple sauce sorry, which was a shock being Tesco and cool are both right by. Started the meal and I had to ask my partner for his side plate in order to load it full with the fat from the pork, disappointing. Whilst eating the meal another family cane in and at 1.15, were told sorry no more orders which was a shock there were only four tables of people, so assumed something had happened but that’s not the issue. Whilst eating we then heard very loud and very clear the chef shout out from the kitchen, at what we can only assume was a dissatisfied customer, well if you don’t f****** like go elsewhere. The whole restaurant stopped and looked at each other in astonishment. The family with 3 very young children decided not to continue waiting for their food and when told this to the waitress no apology was offered, no support to her either. She still had to charge the customers for their drinks ... the plates were not cleared if they had then they could see I did not finish my meal and a huge plate of fat on the side. Instead we left with no apology to the customers, or gesture. I gave a poor bit awful because my partner finished his meal it was okay. Never have I heard this before in a family restaurant, very poor.More

Expectations were moderated with the price we had paid but we loved this place (so much more than the rubbish hotel we had paid £130 for the night before). Room was large, modern, and clean. Huge bathroom. Very comfortable night's stay. Breakfast was fantastic; loads...of choice and delicious. If you need to stay in Coleford, stay here. Don't be put off by the outside and pub bit downstairs (we didn't eat dinner here).More

Me and my gf had a couple of nights in the pub. First night: lovely. Nice beers nicely pulled. The tall dark haired barmaid was v friendly. Nice atmosphere. Comfy sofa. Back a couple of nights later. V warm welcome from the tall dark haired...barmaid who seemed very pleased to have us back. However, for the first hour we had bizarre and sexually explicit songs played on the jukebox by a group who initially appeared to be locals but later transpired to be staff when after spending two of our own pounds on a selection songs one produced a key for juke box which cut off the sound from the area we were sitting before switching to Master of the House from the West End Show, Les Miserable. Additionally, upon hearing my London accent while making enquiries to the group about how to use the juke box, I was referred to by one of the group as ‘Dennis Waterman’. Now, I’m as big a fan of Minder as the next man. Indeed, even, On The Up was, in my view, a follow up sitcom for Mr Waterman which is woefully underrated. But, I take great umbrage in having 50 years added to my age while being effectively barred from hearing Robert De Nero’s Waiting by Bananarama. I will not be returning. J 40More

I am vegetarian and chose something off menu on my first morning, it was delicious and nothing was too much trouble even though the staff had had to trudge through heavy snow to get in.

Came here to watch Wales rugby match and was quickly evident land lord was an avid Wales supporter. Pub had a fantastic atmosphere and was well staffed, the landlord came out with hot dogs for everyone at half time which was a fantastic touch. Oh...and it was happy hour 6-8 which was handy ;) All the locals were very friendly and I would come back here in a shot.More

We walked into the bar of the Angel Hotel in search of a light lunch. It was quite busy with what seemed to be local residents. We ordered a drink at the bar and went to find a table. To be honest we were almost...put off by a ‘delightful’ young female sitting at a table near the bar who talked extremely loudly with every other word uttered beginning with the letter F. Fortunately we decided to stay (sitting as far away as possible) and thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches. The bread was fresh, the fillings tasty and the salad garnish nicely dressed. The crisps were a little on the stale side. The bar maid was nice and friendly and the service was good.More
