Angel Inn Stoke by Nayland

We had the most amazing all round dining and hospitality experience at the Angel this week. Firstly the staff were welcoming and warm whilst maintaining high standards of service, the food was literally fantastic, its been a very long time since I have enjoyed a meal so much in such convivial surroundings. There was a really relaxed feel to the restaurant. To top that our room was fab, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Hope to return very soon. Nearby activities: Go take a look at the Church in the village just behind the Angel, its amazing.

Food & drinks: We went to try the Taster Menu as I'd heard good things about the restaurant. The online menu looked really interesting so I booked. The refurbishment of the restaurant is very well done. Well spaced tables and lovely and warm too. Everything about our dinner was exemplary. I can't praise the food highly enough. Our request for a change of one starter resulted in a specially made langoustine and vegetable creation in a broth, quite stunning to eat! The whole menu was a delight and portions are ample and not too small as in some restaurants that have taster menus. The staff are very well trained, efficient and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The head sommelier is knowledgeable about all the wines and offered us a red wine not on the list which was very unusual and really well matched to the meat courses. We spent a superb evening in very pleasant surroundings. It's safe to say that this restaurant is the most accomplished in the Colchester area. We are very pleased to have found it as it's not far away! Our previous favourite is in Norwich, which involves staying overnight, so we save on hotels and petrol! This is a genuine fine dining establishment, so price reflects this. The quality of the produce used is very high, so we're happy to pay for this. We'll be returning regularly as the menus change frequently, another plus point. The chef is very creative and imaginative in his use of ingredients and obviously is very skilful. If you want to dine on stunning food and well chosen wines, then look no further. Thank you to all the splendid members of the team for our evening.

We have just had a wonderful 5 course starter menu (party of six). I have been fortunate to eat at some of the best Michelin restaurants the UK has to offer. The Angel Inn surpasses them all. A big thank you to the chef for the incredible food and the friendly attentiveness shown by all the staff. I would recommend The Angel Inn to those wishing to experience the best in culinary delights. The food itself may have been prepared by an Angel!!
