My wife and I stayed on Valentine's night so I could attend a course in Bristol the following morning. We asked for a quiet room and were given a lovely large bedroom at the back of the property.
The pub was easy enough to find - only a short drive outside of the city. It suited my purposes, though I had a car to get around it in - I don't know about the alternatives there.
We enjoyed a couple of pints of Cornish "Doom Bar" ale - I've had it before but it tasted superior at the Angel - and some fabulous pan roasted lamb steaks. The chef explained enthusiastically beforehand how they were to be cooked and didn't disappoint. He's obviously a young man who is passionate about cooking and delights in delivering tasty and satisfying meals to his customers. I hope he soon gets the reputation he deserves.
We slept well and the breakfast was fine - nice to get a range of priced alternatives. My wife was able to stay all morning while I was out. The staff made up a nice fire in the bar, especially for her, and provided her with plenty of coffee while she worked on her laptop.
On collecting her, the temptation of another pint of Doom Bar was almost too great but with a long drive up the M5 and a further half-day's work ahead of me I somehow managed to resist.
We may have reason to revisit Bristol, in which case the Angel will definitely be seeing us again - as long as they have room for us.
