Now this is our sort of church. Yeah I'm a Catholic lad but this is a cracking church . It was only 11:45am so it was dead but I'd imagine it's lively later on.My partner had the bubblegum cocktail and she said it was the best she'd ever had , they also do food but be were only drinking today

It's an old church, so expect stained glass windows, old church organ and general church architecture! Outside terrace is nice, with heaters for those of us that feel the cold. Beer and cocktails on special deals, so reasonably cheap. We had pizza for food, it was nice but not spectacular. Overall, we both enjoyed it.What let it down for me, and this happens almost everywhere I go, is the man in the gents toilets with a selection of toiletries hoping for a sale when you wash your hands. I really wish this wasn't a thing, since it brings down the whole experience for me. I'm guessing this is a Friday/Saturday night thing and most nights you can relieve yourself without someone standing watching you, so I'd go back to the church, but not on a Friday or Saturday night.

Friendly staff and as it was a late meal for our group thought it be quiet. Was fairly constant and service did take a while. Nice atmosphere and selection of food and drink. Special on steak was quite good and the rest of our group were very complimentary about the prices and food quality. Bill mistake was sorted without too much problem so good customer service. Could maybe do with some more staff for faster service although food arrived quite timely. All of our group plan on visiting again.

Great restaurant and bar with wide selection of drinks and food in the heart of the city. You can sit in the terrace outside and enjoy the weather or enjoy the classic cozy ambience inside. Prices are reasonable and portion is decent. Service is quick and staff is friendly.

My recent experience at The Church was marred by the shockingly unprofessional behaviour of one particular bouncer. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with blatant rudeness and disrespect.Despite arriving precisely at 5.45pm, the bouncer insisted that we were 1 hour and 30 minutes late, which was simply not true. This was especially frustrating since we had arranged a booked event via email, clearly indicating our arrival time. As a table of 16, we were informed that booking a booth for 12 people would be sufficient, which we accepted. However, the bouncer angrily informed us that the booth was limited to 12 guests only.Seeking clarification and a resolution, I requested to speak with the manager. Shockingly, the bouncer went as far as denying entry to my partner, as my partner swore in passing comment to the group, basically stating that it was a ‘joke’. The bouncer thought he was speaking to him and from that denied his entry. Unjustifiable act only added to our frustration and disbelief.I appreciate that a couple of my friends became involved in the situation out of frustration. However, it is important to note that if the bouncer had not been so incredibly rude from the beginning, this unfortunate escalation would have never occurred.The overall treatment we received from this bouncer was completely unacceptable. Their demeanor and attitude were not only disrespectful but also tarnished what should have been an enjoyable evening. I urge the management to take appropriate action and ensure that such unprofessional behaviour is not repeated in the future.

Beautiful restaurant/bar infused into a church next to the Grovesnor Shopping Centre in Chester. Lots to look at and very intriguing the way its been constructed. Food is basic pub grub and tasty and a variety of drinks amazing priced! The outdoor terrace is a fabulous place to have a drink in the sun and has it's own bar outside with table service. Definitely worth a visit!

If you want to spend time enjoying good food and fine wine in lovely surroundings the Church is the place. We were met by one of the waitresses and shown to our table,high up overlooking the well stocked bar.We were well looked after by all the girls and we had a great afternoon.The food which was only going to be a snack turned into a feast, amazing.The chuch itself was so interesting to see and all the work done was great.Well worth a visit.
