Hidden inside a cathedral, the restaurant really has a unique design to it. I loved the interior!…read moreEspecially having dined in summer, we had the light shooting through the mosaic windows, giving off a warm, cosy ambiance. The food was gourmet but not entirely to my taste. The fish cake my father had was really good as well as the chocolate brownie/cake dessert my mum had was exquisite. The one thing that did bother us was the lack of ventilation which made the open plan kitchen a little unsuited for this kind of spacing. So the whole night we did have the smoky smell accompany us, and made sure it infused into our clothing after we left.

Visited for dinner with colleagues and what a great night. The restaurant is located in the upper…read moreportion of a deconsecrated church and looks wonderful. A high arched ceiling and red brick walls offer an impressive backdrop to some excellent cooking. The food is modern and well presented. Each of the starters and mains have a selected list of accompanying sides. Two sides are included in the menu price and I agree with the concept that too many different tastes can obscure the food. I had pea and ham soup with bread and blue cheese which was excellent. Similar to my mother's own recipe and given piquancy with the blue cheese. This was followed by buck breast with a star anise jus and home made chips and a portobello mushroom. The service was also excellent, if I'm honest we kept the staff waiting far too long after dinner and yet there was no hint that they wanted us to move on. All in all an outstanding experience. Not cheap but not expensive, well presented with courteous and friendly staff. I'd highly recommend it.

A more mature clientele and laid back decor makes it much more my bag. So, to food. Over the last ten days I've eaten crevettes, John Dory and a very 1980s baked Camembert. All extremely well prepared, very tasty and reasonably priced. Table staff are friendly and helpful, the view is beautiful and there are deals on groups dishes if you can agree on the same thing. I'm particularly interested to try the paella for four with a bottle of wine (£60 - 12 Aug 15). It looks like the car park is often busy, but there are normally spaces. Just don't park in the way of the enormous boat lift, it's a working boatyard remember!
