The Chapel

I've been here before and been satisfied, but was disappointed this time. Ambience and decor are lovely, perfect for a gastropub, brightly lit with beautiful unvarnished wood tables and an open kitchen. Food prices reasonable for a gastropub. But my gorgonzola risotto was surprisingly bland and served with a pointless garnish of flavourless salad leaves on top which I had to eat separately before I could start on the rice, since mixing them in would have ruined it. Just rocket (as advertised would have worked) but you don't want lettuce in your risotto. Real ale selection was poor and the wine is expensive for what you're getting. My friend's burger looked good and was served attractively; his chips were unspectacular. This place has a lot of potential so I hope this was just a blip.

Hi, Ive been going to Chapel for the last 5 years. I ve seen there good and but service. however since the new head chef - he is French, the quality of the food went through the roof. Absolutely delicious, and good service too.

The steaks and burgers to die for. Always a pleasure to come back
