Fantastic venue. The team at the Angel were all so accommodating and a great help on the evening of my partners 30th. Food was fantastic and went down so well with our guests. Would highly recommend if you are considering using this space for a birthday or celebration!

Birthday Party · 70 guests · March 2026 · Shoreditch Lounge and Snug
The staff were really kind and helpful. They let us decorate the room which we really appreciated and also leave things overnight to collect them in the morning which was so helpful. The food was tasty and got rave reviews from everyone at the party.
Really small thing but it was hard to connect to the screens if you didn’t have a windows computer

Dining Party · 25 guests · August 2025 · Shoreditch Lounge and Snug
The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We were able to enter the space an hour before our booking which was extremely helpful, they printed signs and things for us and allowed us to store and serve our own cake. We were celebrating our wedding which had happened earlier in the year and the space, along with the staff, helped to make it a very special celebration indeed.
