The Angel

Located on the fringes of the city centre, this old pub has undergone a very basic makeover, & its appeal rests chiefly with the food. Terrine of wild rabbit & French onion soup (served with a Comté croûte) are no-frills standards, while the accurate cooking of local meat & game might yield satisfying dishes such as loin of venison & sweet potato mash with a Marsala & red wine sauce or escalopes of veal with Parma ham, sage & dauphinoise potatoes. Drinks include beers from Cheshire’s award-winning Dunham Massey Brewing Company.
