What is it? A sturdy Sunday offering in a newly revamped pub with big bistro energy.
Why we love it: This charming Highgate Village gastropub is now run by the same team as the nearby Red Lion & Sun. Roasts are hefty; our slow roasted belly of pork was a whopper, with a vast crust of golden crackling, a hilariously large yorkshire pudding, spuds, carrots and a deeply meaty gravy. Vegetarians are well catered for - the beetroot and mushroom wellington was a beast of dish, complete with all the trimmings and a veggie gravy to boot. Airy and bright, the space feels more like a Parisian brasserie than a north London boozer.
Time Out tip: Not many gastropubs have a frozen margarita machine. Make use of the one at The Angel and order a fro-marg as the perfect pudding replacement.
