The Angel - Islington

We had a coffee in the pub while we were visiting the Angel and visiting a local restaurant. This is a typical Wetherspoons, decor ok, cheap drinks snd refillable hot drinks which is why we went in here as it was cold. We did not have any food so I can’t comment on the food. The staff were friendly. So just what you expect for a visit to this chain of pub.

I stayed nearby for a week and dined at this restaurant twice to try their mixed grill. I visited once during a busy time and once during a quiet time. Both times, the meats were well cooked, high quality, and served warm. In my experience, mixed grill meals can vary in quality, but The Angel's was consistently good. However, I only rate this restaurant as average because the staff I interacted with seemed disinterested and unfocused on customer service. While the prices are reasonable in Islington, the atmosphere was not very welcoming.

We have visited several JD Wetherspoons all over the country.So during our recent stay in Islington,decided to have breakfast here.My husband ordered a large traditional breakfast and I opted for the vegetarian cooked breakfast.Both were presented nicely,and service was quite quick,however......both our breakfast's,apart from the hash browns,and sausages were cold.Do the kitchen staff understand that everything needs to be served hot?I don't think they do because we thought this was a one off event.Decided to give them a 2nd chance,so the following day,visited again for breakfast.Exactly the same thing happened,most items on our plates were COLD! Someone sat nearby complained about their own breakfast being cold,the waitress took it away to the kitchen,and returned a few minutes later.I later spoke to that customer who informed me on the 2nd attempt her breakfast was still served cold.She also told me there was no point in complaining because they obviously don't listen to their customers.She said they would never visit again,and sadly we're in the same mindset.Come on....please address this problem,everything on the plate needs to be served HOT! To the manager.....sort this out please,otherwise you'll be losing more customers.I'm emailing head office with my complaints.

This was our first Wetherspoons stop on our trip. I usually try to avoid chain pubs, but since this one is the namesake of the area, I felt it was necessary to visit. Despite not being the original pub and not even located on the original site, it was close enough for me! The pub itself had a more modern feel and was decent. I agree with other reviews about the young staff, but they were friendly with us. The service was quick and friendly, and the affordable drinks were a welcome relief considering the pricey nature of the monopoly pub crawl. Next stop: Lord Nelson on Old Kent Road.

Kaprice must be the worst bar person I’ve ever come across!!in all my years of frequenting Wetherspoon pubs I have never come across such a toxic horrible person!!! Seems to get great pleasure from bullying staff and customers!! Find a better place to drink than this hole!!!
