    We have eaten here several times before, and never been disappointed. They even spontaneously served the dog a bowl of water! We will be back.

    Welcome was good and seated rapidly. Good choice of wines and ales available. Food was good with the only issue being that the steak and kidney suet pudding did not contain any kidney.

    Great food. Lovely crispy batter on the fish. We were upstairs away from the noisy drinkers around the bar.

    The Church has always been a good place to eat, nice surroundings, quality service and good food. Unfortunately last night the food fell short of its normal high standards. I had ordered the steak and kidney suet pudding, which I found to be mostly thick suet and (compared to my expectations) not enough meat. My three partners all had fish, one fish pie and two fish and chips and all commented that their fish was dry. The service was excellent, and requests for slight changes to our order were all dealt with perfectly. Our meals did not warrant a complaint, but we all felt the quality was slightly lower than normal.
