About
The Angel is on Witney Street in Burford, just off the High Street, and the King family have run it since 2011. Behind it is a walled garden and sun terrace, landscaped in 2017, and there are three bedrooms, Grouse, Quail and Pheasant. The same family took on the Fox at Great Barrington in 2022.
The kitchen cooks everything on the premises from fresh, seasonal ingredients, and holds an AA Rosette. Menus run from breakfast through sandwiches to the main menu and desserts, with a Sunday menu and one for children. Thursday is pie night, and an occasional supper club works through a different seasonal theme each time.
The Angel opens from 8.30am to 11pm every day. The inn does not publish kitchen times; OpenTable lists the restaurant's hours as noon to 8pm Monday to Thursday, noon to 8.30pm on Friday and Saturday and noon to 7.45pm on Sunday, so book a table online and ask if you plan to eat late. Its booking page lists off-site parking for room guests, and OpenTable says there is free street parking in Burford and a large free public car park.
It is a short walk from the river: the walk round Burford's lanes and fields climbs Witney Street, where the Angel stands.
