Whether you’re planning a countryside escape, a foodie adventure, or simply looking for a cosy base to explore this beautiful region, The Angel ticks all the boxes.
A Slice of History with a Cosy Twist
Dating back to 1652, The Angel is steeped in history, with its original oak beams, glowing fireplaces, and polished brass fittings creating an inviting, homely atmosphere.
When it’s chilly outside, there’s no better spot than by the roaring log fire. While in the warmer months, the beautifully landscaped walled garden and sun terrace offer a peaceful retreat. Lovingly refreshed in 2017 and just a few steps from Burford’s bustling, scenic High Street.
Award-Winning Food and Drink
If you’re a food lover, you’re in for a treat. The Angel has scooped up several accolades, including being crowned Cotswold Pub of the Year multiple times – and it’s easy to see why.
Our menu is packed with delicious dishes, blending pub favourites with creative, seasonal specials made with locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re indulging in a hearty Sunday roast or sampling a lighter bite, every meal is accompanied by a selection of Hook Norton Ales and a carefully curated wine list.
