Sign of the Angel

Fabulous hotel, in a stunning location. What stands out though is at the staff just cannot do enough to make your stay the best. The beds and pillows high quality and really comfortable. Food is delicious and real value

We first stayed At the Sign of the Angel in 1994 and have subsequently stayed approximately 9 times, the last prior to this visit being in 2016, not long after the new owners took over from the Levy family, who ran the Sign of the A for many decades. We were really looking forward to a 4 night stay having lived in the 
US for the last 17yrs and yearning for a quintessential English country inn experience. The Sign of A is a beautiful, quirky, historical building, however there is no excuse for our room not being serviced after our second night nor only being partially serviced after 3rd night. Toilet & handbasin was not cleaned at all, neither of 2 bins/trash cans emptied. Empty water bottles left on bedside table and sheets not replaced despite specifically requesting the same. The breakfasts on all 4 mornings were good and freshly prepared, although they did run out of fruit salad on morning 3! - update, no fresh fruit on morning 4, apparently waiting for delivery… We ate in restaurant on first and second night-food was just ok, belly pork was a tad dry, overly salty. Bubble & squeak was stale, dry and pretty flavorless. My frangipane tart (slice from larger tart) was dry too-I really don’t think they have enough through-put on Monday/Tuesday, food appeared to be made a couple of days prior and reheated. Husband’s fish & chips was good, although chips (more like wedges) a little undercooked. He found same with belly pork when he tried on second night. We, not surprisingly, decided to eat elsewhere on 3rd and 4th evenings! Overall, our stay was ‘ok’ however the housekeeping staff really, really need to pay a lot more attention to detail-as is evident from photos! Sadly, I don’t think we will be returning after this last experience.

Thank you guys for making our anniversary Sunday lunch so special! The decor and vibes are beautiful and serene. The service was great, really attentive and the food and drinks were lovely. We didn’t feel rushed to leave even though it was so busy. A really gorgeous day, thanks again.

The room had a very low beam which might be expected of an historic building but this beam was the height if my face which really isn't ideal, the room couldn't be warmed sufficiently by the room radiator and we were advised to plug in the supplied electric heater as well. Bed was very comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Very central on Lacock but that does mean a walk to where you must park your car. Overall is was ok value for money but not suitable for everyone.

Good food, friendly staff and stunning location. I didn't stay here, but went for a breakfast that was very tasty. Great building and garden. Cosy atmosphere! The only thing that can be better is the coffee, that wasn't really my cup of tea (and the machine is good).

An impressive restaurant with rooms. Great service, very comfortable bedroom, excellent food. Our host, Maraya did a fantastic job of looking after us. Nothing was too much trouble. Lacock is a National Trust village - parking is limited, but the village is beautiful.

Relatively quick service for a pub on a busy Sunday lunch time! I experienced very friendly service from the staff and the only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because there is no wheelchair accessible bathroom and outside seating was sadly not available for those eating. Otherwise it was a really splendid experience, and entrance to the pub was wheelchair accessible. There is one small-ish step to the woman’s bathroom, suitable for me as an ambulatory wheelchair user but if you are visiting and have mobility trouble maybe send a trusted person in to scout out for you beforehand. The food was absolutely marvellous, with a wide range of gluten free and vegetarian options and really delicious chips. I enjoyed the light bites menu, with calamari and battered fish. With the friendly village and beautiful surroundings, you could hardly wish for a better place to spend a lunch time, and I hope to be back soon!

My partner and I came here for lunch on a hot July afternoon. Place was covered in wasps, there was no cooling system, and the wasps wouldn’t leave us alone for the entirety of our lunch experience. We even ended up having to cover our glasses with tissue napkins. Unfortunately one of the wasps actually landed in my drink and when we asked for a new drink the staff told us to pay!

My only regret about eating here was that I can't eat here often. I contacted the restaurant about a month ago asking if they had vegan fare and they got right back saying they did. We made a reservation, to which we arrived slightly early. The place was empty (about 6.30pm), but by the time we left a few hours later, it was bustling. I had the vegan tempura starter, eggroll main (which I'm still thinking about), and the plum rice pudding dessert (which I sadly had to share with my partner). I'd eat all of it again. And again. And again. My partner had the scallop starter (on specials menu) which he describes as "divine". And he loved his lamb main so much that he actually started to pace his eating to make it last longer. Ambiance is beautiful, service is spectacular. With two starters, two mains, a pudding, and a bottle of prosecco, our bill was just over £80 - for the quality, we'd gladly pay that again in a heartbeat. I'd very happily come back to Lacock every time I'm back in England just to eat here.

We had the best room in the inn. It was nice, very quaint.... However the toilet would not flush adequately, and the water pressure in the shower was absolutely awful. But it was nice considering what it is.

Sadly the British are not known for the greatest food but there are a few places that serve traditional British fare with such attention to detail that the end result is truly a meal fit for a King. At the Sign of an Angle is one such place. Menu items include wild boar sausage, lamb's kidneys in Madeira and a peppercorn steak. Fresh ingredients, local cheeses and fresh baked bread round out the meal. 8 of us ordered about half the items on the menu and it was all delicious. After eating here one has to wonder why so many other 'traditional' English restaurants are so bad? If they all served food like this England would not have the reputation it does.

Breath of fresh air. Great food, location and staff! A real hidden Gem. Lovely menu and daily specials plus a proper Sunday lunch!

The restaurant was absolutely lovely. The staff was so attentive and the place was so authentic. We went with a big group and everything we ordered was amazing. The duck especially was spectacular.

The food here is excellent. it's a busy little spot which can mean a bit of a wait by times. The staff is so friendly. Soups are divine! We also ate breakfast here, the full English is something else.

Had yet another great meal last night at At the Sign pf the Angel. We don't go often enough to be classed as regulars, but this is always our first choice for a proper meal out. Prices are very reasonable, around £18 for the 2 course dinner menu (slightly more for a la carte), and the quality of food is first class. Yes, Lucknam Park and the Bath Priory are better, but are also considerably more expensive. I can't think of anywhere else locally where you'd get comparable quality food for for similar money.
