it should tick the boxes - retains separate bar and lounge, sells a few ales but didn't find it too welcoming. Ale was okay as opposed to good.

Called in here last year while in Dukinfield visiting my daughter and family. I had passed it several times and it looked OK from the outside so I gave it a try. It was very busy with people enjoying a meal with their drink but I still managed to find a place to sit. There was a good choice of cask ales and those I tried were well kept. From the pump clips around the walls it looks like the beers are regularly changed and a wide variety has been on offer. The prices were good too but coming from London anywhere except Surrey looks cheap.

An oasis in a desert but this oasis is very very good. Cannot understand the low rating come on get yourselves here.

Friendly welcome and service. A choice of four cask ales kept in excellent condition. I enjoyed a pale ale and a dark mild from Empire Brewery - superb! Comfortable pub with excellent sun-trap outside drinking area. All round a great community pub - a must visit. 10/10.

First impressions of this pub are its nicely decorated and when I first went into the pub I was greeted to pleasant staff and nice beer but then the biggest downfall of all was to come ...the owner/manager!! The rudest most ignorant person I have ever seen. The way he spoke to his staff is disgusting and he didn't speak to some customers much better. As you walk into the pub plain to see is a notice stating what sort of clothing and behaviour wasn't acceptable basically setting the pub at this high of a standard yet he stood behind the bar with a filthy shirt and shoes eating a packet of crisps, practice what you preach is what I say!! Its not nice trying to enjoy a pint and having to listen to him speak to his staff with disrespect and turning down his nose at certain customers, who are putting money in his pocket. Overall I didn't have a bad experience but I wouldn't go back to this pub, such a shame because the pub is lovely and just missing a friendly owner/manager.

I live in Dukinfield and have been waiting a long time for a quality real ale pub that isn't owned by Robbies. I was told to try The Angel out recently and I was very impressed with the ale and pub itself. They had 3 good ales on at the time and one spare pump, so maybe 4 on at busier times. I had Sharps Doombar, which tasted better than when I drink it in Cornwall and one from Hornbeam which was also very good. The beer appears to be kept really well and the pub was very clean and really nice decor.
I will definitely be back and will be telling others about this great pub.

apparently this has pub is now superb with lots of local ales. still called the Angel. all we need now is a couple more pubs like this and Duki will have a nice little crawl!

Good old Victorian Pub with John Smiths on cask and regular guest ale. Lots of regulars but a friendly lively pub for all ages.
