If you are ready to spread your wings, The Angel could be exactly the opportunity you’ve been looking for. This charming late fifteenth-century inn sits in the heart of Long Ashton, a sought-after village on the outskirts of Bristol. With its beautiful period features and strong sense of rural character, it offers a genuine slice of historic pub hospitality while still being close to the city.

The old fireplace adds warmth and a sense of timeless comfort, making The Angel a welcoming stop for locals, visitors and anyone exploring North Somerset. Outside, the pub continues to shine. The rear courtyard has long been a summer haven for swallows, creating a unique natural atmosphere that adds to its charm. Beyond this, the secret garden offers a delightful hidden spot that is perfect for private gatherings, alfresco dining and seasonal events.
