Wetherspoon - The Angel

About Wetherspoon - The Angel

This former Lloyds No.1 bar opened in 2002. In 2015, it was renamed The Angel after The Angel Inn which stood behind Barclays Bank, in Market Place. The historic inn was the venue for dances which were attended by the novelist Jane Austen. The Angel closed in the 1860s. A new Angel was built soon after, on the corner of Wote Street and Potters Lane, but was demolished in the 1960s, during the rebuilding of the town centre.

J D Wetherspoon is Britain’s biggest supporter of microbreweries and supports the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
