  • Outstanding pub conversion

Smart converted church still with the old wood beams & stained glass windows and added multiple raised areas and mezzanine. Seating ranges from armchairs to plush dining to high tables with bar stools. Very handy for the Mayflower Theatre, which is just opposite.

Many previous incarnations, most recently it reopened as 'Papillon' in October 2021 as a 'restaurant, bar and events space'.

Historic Interest

Built 1845-46 as the Church of St Peter. Grade II listed. Historic England list entry 1092038
