    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.

    Everything about the experience was 1st class. The service and food were exceptional and 3 courses represents great value for money.

    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.

    This was a very nice experience in an amazing setting with great service. The food was superb, fresh, perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection. I have seen a lot of negative reviews about this restaurant prior to our visit and my experience was completely different from those reviews. We dined in hear for my partners birthday and each course was delicious, we both had the pork cooked two ways and duck starters and it was to a very high standard. Our portion sizes were fine and with the Bread and sides we left very satisfied, with no room for desert. We stayed in the jail hotel and also had breakfast in the chapel, much to our surprise we seen the same chief from the evening before and he was very welcoming and did a superb job in the kitchen. The breakfast was fresh and hot, cooked to order and again local produce was sourced and this is clear on the pallet. In summary dined twice in this amazing room in 12 hours and both times were to a very high standard. We would recommend and certainly return.
