Way too expensive, not worth the money, we won't be going again, food great ,drinking great but by far far,far ,too expensive once again. Would not recommend this to anybody due to cost as I have eaten in many fantastic restaurants which gave us as good quality for a lot less money and there has always been a lot more food on our plate ,Ridiculous. Nice place though.

We had a wonderful visit celebrating my father?s birthday. The tasting menu was diverse and thrilling, the service was attentive, the sommelier who talked us through the wine pairings was highly knowledgeable and exceptional in her communication of the pairings between the food & wines. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we will be back.

Wow!We visted with a group of 10 people with all sorts of dietary requirements and restrictions.Eveyone was blown away, I consider myself somewhat of a foodie and this was hands down the best culinary experience I?ve had to date.We enjoyed the tasting menu and every course was beautifully manicured full of flavour and colour. Every dish was so delicately balanced and you could feel the flow from one taster to another.The decor and ambiance was soft and elegant even with the beautifully polished floor countered by the warm soft artistic constructed wooden feature walls.It was truly a delight to immerse ourselves in an experience we?ll never forget.

Loved our meal and stay! Had the tasting menu which was delicious - definitely deserves the star. All the staff were incredibly friendly which made the stay! Our room was also great - lovely modern design and very comfortable. Thank you - we'll be back!

Just had a meal here this afternoon and it was the best dining experience we've had yet. The decor inside is modern whilst being inviting and relaxing. The staff can't do enough for you and have precise timing, giving you enough time to enjoy the experience and not feel rushed.The food was on another level and we got surprise courses to say we had al a carte. It's amazing the amount of complex flavours there were in every bite of every dish! Next time we're doing the tasting menu! Thanks for a great experience.

Worst booking experience ever. I wanted to book 4 rooms for two nights 28th/29th June . When booking I was told we had to have the £165 tasting menu and could not choose A la carte (£110). I said we wanted a la carte but this was refused because the kitchen could not cope with orders for 8 for a la carte. I asked again and was told the restaurant manager would ring me to see if they could make an exception. An hour later the receptionist called back and said yes they could do a la carte but the only time a table was available was at 6.30pm. This was a booking 5 months in advance.So it is clear that the Angel only operates for the benefit of its kitchen convenience and the more you want to spend the more inflexible is the attitude shown to paying customers. I emailed the owner but received no reply. If he responds to this review please don't give me a vacuous apology.

We were fortunate to get a room and dining experience at the Angel at Hetton for New Years Eve.The accommodation was first rate, with no expense spared on the furnishings, their fit and facilities. We stayed in the main restaurant building, which was ideal, giving us easy access for our evening meal which was the tasting menu.As we had been to the restaurant before, we were aware of the service standards and quality of the food and dining experience, all of which are not deteriorating over time, in fact they are improving. The staff were familiar faces from our previous visits, giving confidence to the guests dining that the staff were spot on with their work and communication. No disappointments here, nothing is too much trouble for the staff.The food is exquisite, with taste sensations coming to you on each course, amazing food and you can understand why Michael and team have a Michelin star, although why it's not 2 stars is a conundrum.At the end of the evening service, having retired to the bar for the customary NYE celebrations, to see Michael and his team all gather round at midnight was a testimony to their team spirit, it was lovely to see.Having had a great nights sleep, the breakfast tasting menu didn't disappoint either, with the service and food top notch.Overall, not disappointed and pleased that even though we didn't think it possible, Michael and team are continuing to improve and innovate, well done!

One of the best meals I have ever had. Impeccable service, wonderful interior design, course after course of exquisitely crafted dishes. A real joy. I will come back for breakfast some day!

The first time we visited we were blown away. We tried Tom Kerridges Hand and Flowers in February and were so disappointed at the overall poor experience. I asked my wife where she wanted her birthday meal? Without hesitation the Angel was her answer. If it's possible it was even better than our first visit. How this restaurant is not 2 Stars baffles me.
