Angelina's Bar And Eatery — Restaurant in Arun

Had a wonderful lunch here today. My partner and I literally live in the flat that overlooks this little hidden gem. Yet we have never popped in. Until today.

My mother came down from Medway to see us and our child before Christmas and suggested lunch at Angelina’s.

An we sure are glad we went. We had a simple lunch I went for a tuna, red onion cheese melt panini. This was garnished with a salad and crisps

The panini; tuna was very flavourful and the red onions were beautifully crisp and fresh. The cheese melted to perfection. And the panini bread was the perfect soft inside with that crunchy outside. 5/5 no complaints

The salad; the whole salad tasted very fresh. And me being a farmer I’d happily say this felt field fresh. Was a perfect balance of green leaves, Cucumber, peppers, tomato all topped with a oily dressing. Wasn’t sure what the dressing was but I liked it. Again 5/5 nothing to complain about.

Crisps weren’t anything fancy if I had to guess I’d assume just walkers. Ready salted of course but again they complimented the meal well.

I had a pot of tea with this. I am a fussy tea drinker I only really like pg tips or Yorkshire tea. Typical farm tea. But had a good 3 cups from my pot of an English breakfast tea.

Following the panini we had cakes. I opted for the carrot cake. My favourite by far. The cake was beautifully moist. The icing was generous and but not sickly. Would say it was about the perfect proportion. Again 5/5 nothing to complain about.

Angelina’s is a quaint little eatery with wonderful decor, a friendly team of staff, great food and all for a good price.

Would also like to mention they are dog friendly. I have a relatively large cattle handling dog and there was adequate room by table for well behaved animals. And in summer weather a small outdoor seating area too.

A good experience as a whole. Well done. We will definitely pay another trip in the future. Maybe go try out the...

We ordered 2 cocktails in the happy hour and when they finally arrived they were curdled so we sent them back. The young lad said he would change them and only charge for happy hour as it had finished. We waited about an hour for the tapas and when it finally came out ir was only my partners I had to wait for mine. There was 1 dish missing so we asked the young lad and he said he hadn’t written it down so he will get them to cool it now. We had already finished everything and by this time we wanted to leave so we said not to worry we will just have the bill. We got the bill and had been charged for both cocktails so my partner went to ask about it and the girl was very rude telling us that as we didn’t choose the same cocktail we had to pay full price and that everywhere you go that’s the rule. I said the lad said it was in happy hour and as the previous drink was off he would only charge for 1.she did not listen and went on to say how the food came out in a good amount of time. There was only 2 tables of people and 1 had already got there food so it was not buisy and family came after us and was told half hour wait. I have worked in hospitality for over 20 years and would never talk to a customer like she did and I would never complain unless there was something really not right. Very disappointed as was our anniversary and seen good...

I had high expectations from friends. Restaurant is small and run on a family scale and feel. Fine selection of gins and tonics to make an expensive g&t (£5ish). Shame the two we asked for had run out. The pizzas (£10+) are cooked singularly in a wood fired oven giving the pizzas an authentic Italian look. Cooking was a little hap hazard, most looked great on top, some char, but other also had undercooked bottoms. Pizzas arrived one at a time so large groups will suffer from delays. No real starters to speak of. No desserts either! Drinks at about £5a pint. A...
