The Angel Inn, Stoke-by-Nayland

We booked for lunch, telling them in the booking form that we needed a high chair and that we had two people with dietary needs...one coeliac and one lactose intolerant. There was no high chair (I don't think they want families), and though we reminded the staff of the dietary requirements, they served an alcohol free beer which contained milk to the lactose free person and a roast with a massive Yorkshire pudding on it to the coeliac. Staff also informed us that there were no gluten or dairy free desserts (which turned out to be wrong if you like ice cream and sorbet) but they would only knock off £2.50 from the Sunday deal if we didn't have pudding! The actual food was ok but the place is a shambles.

WOW ! What can I say .... Possibly one of the most memorable dining experience I have had in a very long while ! We chose the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing, my wife is Gluten intolerent and also can't eat red meat, but the amazing chefs team were incredibly willing and able to rise to the challenge and accomodate her needs. The food was creative and delicious, new tastes, flavours, textures and smells. Our sommelier, Valerio, who guided and animated our evening introduced us to interesting and exciting wines to pair with our food and took us on a wonderful culinary journey of new flavors and delights. This is a dining experience not to be missed.
