The Angel at Stoke by Nayland

Well, it has been a nice week.  On Wednesday, I had my appraisal, which was quite good but could have gone better.  (I must be nicer...) and afterwards we went out for a meal with some friends.

It has been a while since we have been to the Angel.  We used to go there a bit more often, back in the days before children, and to be fair, we have been once with kids (though we only had the one when we last went).  But it has been a few years since we were there last.  And I had a great night.  It is located near some other good places to eat and once had a truly brilliant reputation, but on the meal we had on Wednesday, it appears to be as good as it once was.  True, being a week day, it was a quiet night, and ten years ago when we used to go there more, it would have been far more busy.  But the service was great and the food was amazing.
