This Pub is Closed Long Term

An unusually ornate chapel, built in 1877 and superbly renovated and converted into a pub/restaurant plus a nightclub in the vaults below. The interior is blend of Portland stone, patterned brickwork in three colours and an abundance of carved woodwork. It is impossible to enter this building without glancing upward to admire the handiwork. The main bar/restaurant extends over two floors and there is a south-facing terrace outside.

Member experience from visit on 4 Nov 2015 .

Two beers from Brains as of April 2016

Historic Interest

Outstanding conversion of an unusually ornate French-Gothic style chapel built in 1877.
