Angel Inn
Perhaps the headless angel statue perched above the doorway is a posh Highgate signal for the punters to join in by getting legless. If so, this is clearly a popular spot in which to make the effort, given the boisterous throng of (Highgate) Village People inside. The decor is a contemporary pick ’n’ mix of influences – dark wood panelling, stylishly outsized tassled lampshades, calming fish tank, jar of pickled eggs as retro nod. So, looking good on the surface. Shame, then, about the lousy dance music played just loud enough to be irritating, and beer (both the Wychwood guest beer and an Adnams) so bad as to be undrinkable. Best perhaps to stick to the continental draught offerings like Schneider Weisse and Früli or bottled lagers (Peroni, Becks and Tiger). Or perhaps try the excellent Flask nearby.
