In these days of "theme" pubs, and alcopops, and yoof-orientated rubbish, and, worse still, pretentious gastro-pubs, like The G**rge in C*v*ndish, full of Home Counties braying and expense-account Londoners with no concept of what life, money or people are really about, it is an unusual pleasure to find a real, traditional English pub, serving real ale to real people, and little else, other than intensely Good Humour.
Put simply, that is the reality of The Angel.

These pages are a tribute to the people who keep the tradition alive: owners, proprietors and customers. Long may they prosper.

The pub probably takes its name from a small carving to be found on the outside post of the adjoining house. The carving, beautifully done but difficult to photograph, is said to represent St Michael. It is, with no facetiousness intended, an historical masterpiece. Everyone assumes that originally, the pub and the house next door were a single, hall-house, building.
