Chef Interview: Michael Wignall at The Angel Inn, Hetton
"Made famous in the 1980s by the late Denis Watkins – the ‘Godfather of the Gastropub’ –, the Angel Inn was renowned for its fresh, flavoursome and good value cooking. Often mentioned in the same breath as Sharrow Bay on Ullswater and The Box Tree in Ilkley, the landmark inn became widely regarded as having helped to transform the standard of cooking in British pubs. To the delight of many, the 15th century inn was recently acquired by Michael Wignall and his wife, Johanna, in partnership with James and Jo Wellock of Wellocks food suppliers." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
