Four of us enjoyed a very pleasant dinner, good flavours, nicely presented, lovely environment. Service was really good – speedy and efficient with our charming and personable young waitress Harriet.

We didn’t stay in the rooms, so this review is just for the restaurant. What a fantastic place to dine! The building itself is a beautifully maintained 15th-century inn, full of charm and history. The food and drinks were excellent, and the wine was especially good. The staff were warm and attentive, checking on us several times throughout our meal. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning whenever I’m in Lacock!

My son and his new wife celebrated their wedding at the Sign of the Angel. We booked all five rooms for the evening prior, and the evening of the wedding, and it couldn't have been more perfect. All the rooms are so quirky, and together with the shared sitting room it made for a really special experience. The inn was closed during the day so we all had exclusive use of the whole venue! We used both dining rooms, and they were both set up so guests could all eat together. It goes without saying that the food was very very good, as was the service. All the staff really are excellent. After dinner the inn was reopened to other diners so we all used the garden until late in the evening. The following morning we were rejoined by family who hadn't stayed overnight where we all enjoyed breakfast. All in all a fabulous weekend, and one which was made possible by the professionalism of everyone at the Sign of the Angel.

We went to the Sign of the Angel for afternoon tea and it was definitely one of my favorite experiences of our entire holiday. The garden had such a beautiful atmosphere and the food was without a doubt some of the most delicious cuisine I have ever tasted. Everything was excellent, the servers were kind and helpful and we spent nearly 2 hours enjoying the food and tea.

I can't thank the staff at this lovely village restaurant , hotel enough. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left they were so professional, made you feel at home and nothing was a problem. Maddie checked us in and showed us to our room, carrying the case for my wife, up the awkward stairs to our room,( no.4) in what seams to be a hidden part of the building going through a hidden door in the corner of the upstairs lounge. A lovely hidden room tucked away from the rest of the building with nice views down the street, a lovely bed and large bathroom. Can definitely recommend but need to be able bodied as the entrance to the room is a bit awkward. The garden is a delight to sit and have a drink in the sun. Or a meal. During our time spent in the garden the staff were spot on especially when one of the customers was trying her best to be a connoisseur of wine. Nothing was too much trouble. The meal in the evening was delicious. I had the hake and my wife had the lamb rump. After the meal we had coffee in the lounge upstairs. A bonus was not a TV in sight anywhere. Breakfast again was delicious. Freshly cooked. A very big thank you to all on duty during our stay. It made my birthday weekend. Would we stay again? Most definitely!! It was a pleasure to stay in such a lovely well run home from home.

Had been recommended for Sunday lunch and our visit did not disappoint. Staff were welcoming, atmosphere was relaxing, and the food was as good as expected. Between us we had steak, fish, and a vegetarian Wellington, all of which were cooked to perfection. Guys, look after Ruby - you’ve got a good one there! Communicated info about the dishes, drinks, and history of the pub very well. Look no further than this place if you’re in Lacock. Just mind your head if you’re tall!
