"Tonight my husband and I came to the restaurant for a meal. It’s our 10th Wedding Anniversary and my husband had booked a table with yourselves as over the years we have had lovely meals at the restaurantUnfortunately tonight wasn’t such an experience. I don’t usually write emails but out of pure annoyance and frustration I find myself writing this one. The whole experience from us arriving to us leaving was one of great disappointment. There was a larger group of diners on the mezzanine floor, we were told by our waitress once seated she would be back in 2 or 3 minutes to take out drinks order, this was way more as she then helped serve mains to the group booking.Our menus were different when we opened them, my husbands had no starters page, we had to ask for a correct menu, once Katie came back she then took our meal choices and drinks order. My husband ordered a Budweiser to which we were told she wasn’t sure if they sold Bud and she would find out. I ordered a Mojito. We were informed there was no Bacardi so I couldn’t have my drink, I chose a processco, the drinks took about 10 minutes to arrive, however when they did, there was a mojito as turns out you did have barcardiOur antipasta was served and before we’d finished and it could clearly be seen we weren’t, we were asked if we had finished. I replied no and waitress went off, we’d hardly finished our mouthfuls and again she was over asking if we’d finished. Plates were cleared and our mains turned up shortly after. Mains were sea bass and pulledPork with a side order of sautéed veg. We were disappointed by the meals but neither of us said to each other at the time as we were trying to make the most of the evening even though we were already disappointed by being left and then rushed to eat our antipasta. Our meals had clearly sat under heat lamps/ or a hot plate as we hadn’t finished quick enough with the antipasta as the skin on the sea bass had burn marks from Heat lamps, the mash was stodgy and the peas were burnt.My husband later told me the pork ball was all soggy as had been sat on the jus that was on the plate. Both meals were bland and lacked seasoning and certainly wasn’t up the standard we expected. When this was cleared away, we were asked if we wanted desserts, when we replied no, we were told ok I’ll bring the bill!!! When the bill came and the card machine was brought over, we were run asked if we wanted to tip!!!!! Surely that is not something you should be asking in such an abrupt manner???????????from arriving to leaving was roughly a hour, at no point was this a relaxing celebration meal, it was rushed, we were made to feel an inconvenience and had ruined our evening. my husband and I had both kept quiet at our disappointment as not to ruin the evening for each other, however I was upset when got outside and I nearly came back in to talk to the management. My husband told me to leave it but I’ve come home and decided I wanted to let you know how poor of an experience you delivered tonight as would hate other diners to have to have the same and also a thanks for running what was meant to be a celebration meal/evening"

Booked a table for dinner at 7, was taken back by the marvellous environment they have created and it was only complimented by amazing food and spectacular table service by miranda and Leo.

Service has really gone downhill since we were there Oct. Staff were ok but the place lacks warmth from staff, flat atmosphere and on arrival no mention that beef was not available from the limited choices on the menu. Service was slow and the rhythm of the place has gone. What has happened ???

Booked a Sunday lunch after another restaurant cancelled our reservation... What a lucky result! This was one of the best meals we've had in a long time and wouldn't hesitate to go again. The beef and stilton pie was exceptional and the service by Miranda was top notch. Very professional and a beautiful setting to boot. Don't think twice about booking a meal here! View menu

Myself and my husband visited The Church for the first time last night after hearing good things about it and we werent disappointed. It was very covid-friendly with tables spaced out appropriately. There wasnt a huge selection on the menu but there was something for everyone and our food was amazing no complaints whatsoever. The staff were very professional and attentive. Thank you to Miranda and Leo for such great service I'm sure we'll see you soon as we will definitely be coming back!

It has been sometime since my partner and I visited the Church restaurant and we were most certainly not disappointed. The food was amazing, our waiter Stefan was attentive but unobtrusive, and friendly, as were all the staff. At first glance the menu appeared limited, however, every dish was cooked to perfection. All dishes were well worth the modest prices charged, great atmosphere and amazing value for money. Thank you for a lovely evening and compliments to the chef. We will be back very soon.

There's a bit of a wow when you walk into the church. I was expecting a humble chapel, it's more of a high ceilinged, stained glass proper church. But the friendly greeting and pleasingly well spaced tables make for a warm and welcoming vibe. Service continued to be friendly, helpful and efficient throughout thanks to our server, Alex. Our steak (cooked just as requested), chips (plump, fluffy, crispy), with pea shoots, mushroom, vine tomatoes and garlic butter couldn't be faulted either. Nor could the wine. Would return! View menu

We have visited the restaurant twice recently. Once for Sunday lunch which was so good we returned for dinner. Wow. The food was excellent and cooked to perfection. No wonder the chef is up for an award. Thanks to new manager Stef (who is definitely on the ball and waitress Georgie for the impeccable yet unobtrusive service. Lovely touch having fresh herbs on the tables. The attention to detail was spot on. Can’t end without mentioning the cocktails. Best I’ve ever had with fresh passion fruit (tho I hate the name ‘Pornstar’ .

For our wedding anniversary my wife and I could not have wished for a better evening than the one offered by all the Church Restaurant staff. The friendly welcome we received and attentive service throughout our evening from Stefan and Georgie was fabulous. The cocktails were a knockout so much so we had to have three each to confirm how good they were. The food was excellent. We had starters and mains and could not find fault with any of the dishes lovely fresh produce, great presentation and very generous portions. Thank you Stefan and Georgie and the kitchen staff for making our special evening so memorable.
