The Angel

You'll find The Angel tucked right on Bridgegate, the kind of place that's been pulling pints for locals for years without needing to shout about it. Step inside and you're in proper pub territory—no gastro nonsense, just straightforward drinking and eating done well. The crowd's a proper mix of after-work regulars, mates catching up, and people who actually live nearby rather than venturing in from town. It's the sort of spot where you can nurse a bitter, grab some decent food, and nobody's going to judge you for staying three hours.
