Great menu, okay food

The decor in here could definitely be described as rustic - a little grubby around the edges - but this adds to the Angel’s charm.
I was really excited to try the menu, as there’s so many great vegan choices on there.
The food was okay. I had the tempeh sandwich and fries with some frickles. The sandwich was nice but nothing special. The fries were very skinny and very salty - I really liked this but it wasn’t to my partners liking. The frickles went from being too hot to quite soggy with seemingly no in between.
I probably wouldn’t come back for food, but I do want to try the sticky toffee pudding.
Also, the toilet had no loo roll.

Angel of Nottingham

Ik vond dit dus helemaal top! Bijna alle gerechten konden ook vegan gemaakt worden. Wij namen de tempeh & chips. Dat was ongeveer het meest lekkere gerecht wat ik in maanden gegeten had (en wij eten echt vaak lekker). De toetjes waren ook heerlijk en er is keuze uit misschien wel 20 bieren. Heaven!!

Pros: Heel veel ruimte om te zitten, Bijna alle gerechten konden vegan besteld worden, Heerlijke biertjes

Disappointed

We went yesterday specifically to try the vegan options. Half the food was overcooked, blackened, hard and dry. The onion rings however, weren't even cooked and there were clumps of raw flour in them. I ate 1 bite of an onion ring and a tiny piece of cold, burnt and rock hard bread with some poor quality olive oil. I couldn't get through any of the mushroom calamari as they were all burnt and we could literally snap them in half and then mushroom wings were so overcooked that after I'd taken some of the blackened batter off, the mushroom inside was again, rock hard. I spoke to a staff member (after being actively ignored by one girl on 2 occasions) and she was incredibly dismissive and told me that that's how they were meant to come! Absolute waste of money. They were completely unwilling to resolve anything. I messaged them afterwards and even though it's been read, they've not bothered to reply. I've thankfully never had an experience like it. Spoke to a couple of other people since and they've been equally disappointed. We certainly won't be back.

Vegan roast dinner

Great vegan options. I had the vegan nut roast which even had a vegan Yorkshire pudding. My boyfriend had roast beef so it was good to both be able to get similar meals.

Pros: Big portions , Lots of vegan and veggie options , Good for groups have different requirements

Cons: Quite expensive

Tempeh and Chips 👌

I haven't been to a pub in over 5 years since being vegan where I've actually enjoyed the food, until this place. The tempeh and chips was so good! And I liked that they had a vegan option for pretty much all of their menu.
Great selection of beers too and a cosy atmosphere!

Used to visit regularly

Favourite place in Nottingham. The menu gets updated and they often have new options. There's always a few vegan items to choose from which taste amazing and are always a very big size. Couldn't recommend more.

Plenty of choice

Excellent variety of vegan options. I had the vegan fish (tempeh) & chips which came with some very delicious tartar sauce 😋 Only downside was the chips were a bit too oily like they hadn't been drained well. Can't wait to go back and try the tacos, the person I was with ordered them and they looked amazing!!

Pros: Interesting options, All of their beers/wines are vegan, Friendly/helpful staff

Cons: Disappointing fries this time

Nice Sunday dinner & alcohol free options

Really nice Sunday dinner - nut roast and seitan options. They ran out of most veg but gave us extra seitan and more of greens etc which was plenty. Forgot to take a photo of the roast so took a photo of the Sunday menu. Also have a good option of alcohol free beers and one cider.

Excellent range, but food itself nothing spectacular

This is a great pub all round, and I would totally recommend it to anyone. Most items can be ordered vegan, so the range is excellent. Service was good and they have a great range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Food itself was just ok. Tasty enough but nothing incredible. Chips were hot but very greasy. I was happier with the options than the result. I have had their vegan roast on a previous visit and that was very good.

Pros: Range of options , Great staff, Great atmosphere

Cons: Food could be better, Greasy chips

Banging ‘Fish’ and chips!

Pretty much every option on the menu has a vegan alternative, and their vegan fish and chips (minus the tartare sauce) were banging
Gorg vibes

Pros: Fish and chips, Cool vibes , So many options

Nice Food

Food was really good, and went on half price night too so absolute bargain.

Sausages were a little weird with the sausage and mash, but everything else was great.

Nearly everything on the menu has a vegan option, from roast dinners to toasties and fish finger sandwiches. Loved the loaded mac and fries and the sticky toffee pud with icecream.

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Central location, Friendly, helpful staff

Great array of vegan pub food

Went to the Angel for the first time in ages this week, the new menu is great with loads of vegan food as always. I had the Mac and cheese and halloumi fries. I was really wanting to try the mozzarella dippers but they were out of stock, apparently they are amazing so I’ll have to go back again! They still do the 50% off food on Wednesday too which makes for an excellent value meal!

Recently went in for a Sunday roast too which was really nice, I enjoyed the seitan they used and the vegan Yorkshire pud!

Gone downhill

Ordered a vegan platter which took more than 45 minutes to arrive and then was meat. Staff couldn't have really cared less and we requested a refund and went elsewhere. Kitchen was gross, glasses were not clean. Disappointing as this place used to be good but now I won't bother going again as plenty of nicer placed in Nottingham.

Pros: Vegan options for pretty much everything

Cons: Quality has declined, Miserable staff, Place is dirty

Great pub food

Everything on the menu has a vegan option, even the seafood platter! The price of the vegan food is generally cheaper too and clearly marked on the menu. When ordering staff also checked if you wanted the vegan option or animal option which helps anyone who might accidentally order wrong.

Pros: Vegan alternative to everything , Good prices , Cheap food

Cons: Serves meat

Whole menu can be made vegan

The jerk seitan burger is delicious! Everything on the menu can be made vegan. They also do 50% off food on Wednesdays so super cheap. My friend had the tofu halloumi which she said was a bit bland, but the Mac n cheese was delicious.

Pros: Vegan option for everything!, Good price , Everything home made and tasty

Highly disappointed

Went on account of their entire menu being made vegan friendly for Veganuary. Their seitan was so thin and overcooked it may as well have been glass with an overseasoning of rosemary. Their Hemp Burger was so burnt it was practically charcoal. Response of staff was essentially, oh well that's a shame. Avoid.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: The chef doesn't know to handle vegan food, Indifference from staff

Vegan alternative for everything

They not only have an amazing vegan Sunday roast with option for nut roast or seitan roast and they also have a vegan alternative for everything they sell on the menu. The staff are also knowledgeable on what beers are vegan, which there is many!

Amazing Food!

I was really impressed visiting here that everything on the menu had a vegan alternative. This meant there was no poor vegan options like just a salad. Instead they offer meals such as vegan fish and chips, vegan tacos and vegan burgers.

Pros: Lots of options , Vegan Alternatives for every meal, Often do half price food

NOT DISABILITY FRIENDLY

I visited The Angel (14/10/20) with the vision of having some vegan food in a friendly, welcoming and chilled environment with my daughter.
Upon entering I was very abruptly and rudely told I “had to put a mask on” I informed the member of staff
I am ‘medically exempt’ to which I was informed the only way I could enter the establishment to eat is if I had a card stating I was exempt and was to wear it through my visit!?!
In a bid to defend my right as a disabled person who for medical reasons can’t where a mask, i entered in to a debate with a hostile and ignorant member of staff, who in front of costumers, insensitivity asked me to state what my medical condition is that prevents me from wearing a mask and numerous times stated I either had to present and wear a card saying I am disabled/exempt or wear a mask.
When I entered The Angel the said member of staff was using a laptop at a table, I kindly asked her check the gov.uk website with reguards the polices/rules around mask a wearing, to which she declined stating she was already familiar with it and continued to state numerous inaccuracies: “there is an application form to apply for an exception card on the gov.uk website” (incorrect) and I have to state my disability, presumably so the doctor/barista can ratify that the disability qualifies exemptment (obviously again incorrect )

I appreciate these are very challenging times, the advice the government is giving changes daily and it’s hard to keep up, I also appreciate that it’s a scary time, and people want this all to end and life to return to what was normal pre covid and for some people its frustrating that some individuals don’t wear masks (some maybe even flouting the rules, I except that) but no one has the right to challenge an individual with such ferocity and tenacity, that basically translates as “I don’t believe a word your saying”

The staff at The Angel are evidently not trained in disability awareness, and don’t exercise inclusiveness or empathy and exhibit prejudicial and tyrannical traits.

I left feeling very incredible frustrated, angry, powerless, incredibly embarrassed and with my dignity stripped from me in front of my 10 year old daughter and humiliated in front of costumers.
An absolutely horrendous experience, that’s left me feeling confused and apprehensive about visiting other places (without a mask, as unfortunately is the case for me)

A firm favourite

I have loved it every time I have visited. They have a separate vegan menu where lots of pub classics are veganised. The vegan fish and chips is a favourite. The pies are also gorgeous. Half price offer on Wednesdays!

Pros: Half price food on Wednesdays , Great vegan pub classics , Cheap and cheerful

Good pub grub

This is a sweet little pub with a great selection of ales and beers that are usually labelled for vegans. The food menu is small but pretty good and service is friendly. Also, it's dog friendly!

Pros: Dog friendly, Daily deals

Cons: Limited options

Favourite vegan food in Nottingham

Been many times and the food never disappoints. Best „fish” and chips I have ever had in my life. A lot of choices, so anyone can find what they like. 50% off on all food on Wednesday makes it one of the cheapest places for vegan food in the city. I adore the vibe of the place and could recommend to anyone who would like to try tasty vegan food.

Pros: A lot of options in the menu, with a lot of creati, Homemade taste of all meals, Affordable price

Cons: Occassionally uninformed staff
