Strongers . left this review about The Angel
The Angel has a table in the windows either side of the central entrance and an exposed stone inglenook on the left-hand wall, in fact the walls throughout are mostly exposed stone. The serving counter is found midway along the right-hand wall where it faces a beer shelf up the left. More seating is found at the rear around a large stone fireplace. I counted six hand pumps on the counter, three were unused and one was off which left Pentrich Brewing’s Little Windmill and Vale Brewery’s Wychert as the cask options. Standard keg and two from Beavertown were also available from the polite barman. The Wychert was a good crawl option at 3.9%, but I struggled to get comfortable so don’t plan on returning.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Angel
The Angel is home to the Bicester Brewery and with 6 handpulls, I was expecting this to be the best pub in the town. Unfortunately, there was only a single real ale. This was Loddon Ferryman's Gold, which was not really my cup of tea. But I tried it regardless.
Trade here must be pretty poor, given the lack of ales. Nevertheless, service was friendly. I didn't get much further than the space near the front door. So, I'm not sure how far the pub stretched back. Supposedly, there is an outdoor area at the rear.
A disappointing visit.
