    Great ambience, service decent, however on reflection the fish cake starter was sub par, needed to be hotter and dessert was not what I expected from description on the menu, was more sultana tart than apple crumble and I don't like sultana's. The pork and beef was excellent.

    Booked a Dark afternoon tea expecting it to be at least a bit different. The only ‘dark’ thing about it was the teacups and the coffin shaped brownie. It was served in the champagne room which meant we had to be sat on tiny tables, having the tea on the table next to us and keep reaching across. Scones were like rocks. It’s not worth the £29 price point and feel like it wasn’t as advertised

    Overall our experience at The Chapel was average. The staff were very pleasant but our drinks order was mixed up and our side order didn’t come at the same time as our main course. Staff kept mixing up our orders with that of the neighbouring table despite the restaurant being fairly quiet. We enjoyed our food but the service was a bit hit and miss.

    Beautiful venue, great menu and very nice food, beautifully presented. The Pannacotta was out of this world! Definately will be back soon. Vouchers bought already for my mother-in-laws Mothers Day gift - for afternoon tea - I'm sure they'll love it too! Excellent, and thank you

    We had dinner in the Chapel Restaurant. The staff were very attentive and the meals were outstanding. The Chapel itself has been very tastefully modernised and provided a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy our meal. The choices on the menu were a little bit limited but we found good choices to suit ourselves. We would return again if we were in the area.

    Wonderful dining experience, the food was stunning. Highly recommend if you appreciate good fine dining. Great selection of drinks, cocktails & wine. Loved the baked bread rolls that were brought to the table at the begging. The truffle butter was delightful. We will be back again.

    Beautiful setting with attentive service. Food was excellent, enough and well presented. Room was a little cold . Wine very over priced. Lovely for a special occasion but wouldn't be somewhere to frequent due to the cost.
