Chapters in Lichfield

My friends and i went for lunch today and all had cheese toasties the bread was the worst for toast they were all rock hard so couldnt eat much of it so wouldn't go back again

Great location and nice interior. But we went for lunch and were told that they weren’t taking any orders as they were too busy. There would be at least at 45min wait. So we left and had lunch elsewhere. The staff looked pretty miserable and they must be losing so much money due to lost orders. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day here!

Lovely place opposite The cathedral. Service a bit slow but oat pancakes with bacon brie and cranberry excellent. 😋 Staff nice and friendly too. Dog friendly aswell.

A busy and well patronised establishment close to Lichfield cathedral. Delicious cake with gluten free options available.

I used to live in Lichfield and used to love popping in here for lunch or a coffee. Surroundings, service and food was great. Hadn't been for a while and visited in October 2022 to find it completely different. It has gone downhill fast. It is now called Bistro 19 and I can only think it must be under new management. The decor is horrible (dark green if I remember rightly), most of the staff look miserable, a very long wait (over 20 mins) just for a hot drink and a cake (although they brought the drinks out quickly but by the time the cakes arrived, our drinks had gone cold), expensive (£12 just for a coffee, a tea and a scone and teacake), drinks served in cups that looked like builder's mugs with saucers and scone was dry and hard. I guess this place will always be busy simply because of it's location - right by the cathedral - and because the gardens are nice but if it was anywhere else it wouldn't last 5 minutes. It needs to make some vast improvements if it wants customers to return. This is not Chapters, it's called Bistro 19. People should check out their reviews to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

This cafe has gone downhill fast over the last few years. The service was slow and very poor. It took over 15 minutes for a simple cup of coffee to arrive. No spoon was provided to stir it. The menu used to be good and varied with something for everyone. Now the menu is very sparse: breakfasts (all day they say); jacket potatoes ("sorry we've run out"); pie with chips or mash ("sorry, there's no mash"); and a few more things. A sign asks people to speak to staff about their allergies ("No. We don't have anything gluten-free.") There was nothing I could eat, so I decided to go hungry. Others at my table ordered food - it all came eventually, but all at different times and without cutlery. Two people had the pies which looked limp and uninteresting and the "chips" were feeble and not very hot apparently (presumably frozen and heated up a bit). I was glad I had decided to go hungry. Best to avoid this place, unless you want nothing for lunch or are prepared to eat uninspiring, poor quality food and poor service.

First visit since lockdown. Was always excellent on our previous visits pre March 2020. A shadow of its former self. I can only assume now run by different people as the service and food were both appalling. When the breakfast eventually arrived item's were missing. The bacon and mushrooms over cooked and the beans cold. Much better alternatives available nearby at cheaper prices.

I have eaten here many times pre-pandemic. The breakfasts were always amazing. Ate here again today for the first time in a couple a years. The full english described sounded amazing, it wasn't! It was £9.95 so not cheap at all. My orange juice tasted odd (it came from a britvic bottle). The staff looked bored, were not very friendly at all and showed no enthusiasm. After waiting 25 minutes for the food, whilst others that came in after us, were served before us, it was awful. I have no idea what they'd done to the mushrooms, it looked like they'd cremated them. They were inedible. The bacon was shriveled and burnt, the sausages overcooked and beans stone cold. What was most annoying was they'd forgotten our eggs. How can you cook a breakfast and forget to do the eggs? We had to ask for them and they were brought 5 minutes later, the egg was the only hot part of the food. I got the impression they'd spent time feeding everyone else and had just overcooked ours or had overcooked it and kept it warm whilst serving others. It was unappetising, burnt and cold. The only thing I would say is that someone else's bacon sandwich looked lovely. Will not return and will now prefer to try elsewhere.

Great little spot right next to the cathedral. We had a round of tasty sandwiches, a BLT and a Brie and cranberry. The service was perfect. Very nice place to enjoy lunch. There is a garden. The place also welcomes cyclists. There isn’t a sign above the door (today) so look for the small sign by the steps up to the front door. They also do homemade cake.

Today I was the guest of a party of three of us. It was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. The service by a lovely young lady was excellent as was the food. Thank you to all the staff who made our visit most enjoyable. Would highly recommend. I cannot comment of the pricing because I was a guest.

Lovely staff, friendly, helpful. Had breakfast here and it was very nice. Well worth the money. Food was hot and cooked perfectly, I couldnt fault the meal £7.50 which included the coffee. Just opposite the cathedral, it seems a fairly tranquil place.

A perfect setting, a beautiful building, helpful staff and excellent food. There is plenty of space in the manifold small rooms. A good choice of snack items, including local specialities. Staff were kindly flexible to do all the could to accommodate visitor choice. A must when visiting the cathedral area!

In a city that has more of it’s fair share of restaurants and coffee shops, Chapters punch’s well above its weight. Opposite the Cathedral this eatery does breakfasts , light lunches and afternoon teas and cakes. The food is excellent quality very reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. The best part is that all the profits go to the upkeep of the Cathedral. In the summer there is a secluded garden and the atmosphere is lovely. Just don’t tell anyone!

We visited Chapters after being recommended by the guide in Litchfield Cathedral. The coffee bar was very friendly, with a good selection of food and drinks. The homemade soup was delicious. Staff were very friendly and they obviously had a good regular customers. We would visit again if in the area. The public lavatories outside were outstandingly clean,

Best ever cream tea with a real home baked taste. Service was quick and friendly and the cafe had a good selection of food on the menu. Will certainly revisit

Good tea and cakes. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Would like to visit again in the future and maybe try one of their meals.

I never tire of looking round the Cathedral and today popped into Chapters for breakfast and a coffee. Lovely friendly place. I received a warm welcome from staff and a volunteer in the cathedral who had popped in for a quick coffee before he started working. The breakfast was beautiful, one of the best I've had and the coffee was included, for £7.50 it was well worth it.

We came during the illumination event and the menu was limited to a takeaway menu. We enjoyed soup & coffee, a very good sausage roll and a flapjack. Everything very good. Friendly service. Looks like a good place to go to eat during their normal hours.

I was taking a day out from my narrow-boat to visit nearby Lichfield, a city I have never visited before. I wandered around for a while and ended up at the cities medieval cathedral. After the visit to the cathedral I decided on some lunch before returning to my boatThe Chapters cafe is right next to the cathedral in the Cathedral Close..It was lunchtime and fairly busy but I managed to secure a seat and order one of the specials of the day, a Mushroom and Stilton Pannini, accompanied by a flat white coffee.After 15 minutes my coffee arrived, it was very busy and the staff were very apologetic for the delay, I was asked if I was waiting for anything else and said yes, I was still without my Pannini. Another 15 minutes passed so I went to cash register just to double check. Oh dear, there had been an oversight and the Pannini order hadn't reached the kitchen.After multiple apologies and a complimentary second coffee the Pannini arrived, it was fine, if not a little flavorless. The coffee however, was delicious, and at the end of the day I had shared a pleasant chat with the lady I was sharing a table with. I did get what I ordered and it was not bad value.Would I recommend the Chapters Cafe, yes, I would because despite the oversight the staff were all very friendly and apologetic. These things happen, the venue has a great ambience with a the view of the cathedral and a lovely courtyard garden area for the warmer months. The dining area was packed and 99% of the patrons were getting their food in a reasonable time.So if you are looking for an interesting day out give Lichfield a go, the city has many interesting historic buildings, including a medieval cathedral with Chapters Cafe right next door.

Had cream tea and lemon drizzle cake. Obviously freshly baked. Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Will come for a meal next time. All the meals we saw coming out had fresh veg and looked amazing. Would recommend.

We popped in for a light lunch and both had the carrot and cumin soup, which came with a nice crusty roll. The cafe is split into a number of smaller rooms which reduces the noise and makes it more homely.

Coffee and cakes in the tearoom located just across the road from Lichfield Cathedral. Excellent service, warm and friendly and a good menu. Only had Almond Slice and drinks but good portion size and freshly made. Lovely place to relax with several rooms and a small conservatory to eat and drink in.

what we had was tasty enough on our visit to lichfield. we would visit again. lichfield is blessed with places to eat so cafes and restaurants have to stand out

Situated in a fine Georgian house facing Lichfield`s magnificent three spired cathedral this charming coffee shop has a surprisingly wide menu.We had coffee and cake but the breakfast looked enormous value.

Best Hunters Chicken we've had. Tender and moist. BBQ sauce not overwhelming. Loads of cheese in it. Served with fresh peas, not frozen. Crispy, not soggy chips. All served hot and freshly cooked. Can get busy at lunchtime.

Enjoyed a snack lunch with family, informal, suitable for children as well. The menu is is not especially long but has some nice choices and prices are reasonable.

This restaurant is owned by the Cathedral, and has a good range of light meals, snacks and cakes. It also serves a small range of alcoholic beverages. Visitors order at the counter, and sometimes the queue can be a bit long. However, this indicatesr the popularity of the place. There is ample outdoor seating for when the weather is fine, and three indoor rooms. We would definitely recommend.

Lovely friendly staff,great selection of cakes and scones looked amazing .Although they were busy our food arrived quickly and was very well presented Would definitely recommend

Sat outside with a pot of tea and a scone end enjoyed the green and pleasant atmosphere. Nice to get a pot of hot water with the tea. Friendly and full of charm..great to visit after the Cathedral.

We called here for a light lunch whilst visiting Lichfield Cathedral staff very friendly and efficient, god choice of lunches well presented and well cooked. Glad we went

Excellent freshly prepared food here with good variety of drinks. Staff very pleasant and efficient and everywhere clean. We had flapjack and millionaires shortbread which were both delicious. Pot of tea came with extra hot water.

We called in to Chapters for lunch. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Our order was checked carefully with us and was served very quickly.

Direkt an der Kathedrale gelegen und mit tollem Angebot für Lunch oder Kaffe ist das Chapters eine super Idee. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Sitzgelegenheiten befinden sich auch im Garten, was bei dem Wetter ein absolutes Plus war.

yes a two day coach trip from london the food was very good and all staff helpful well done keep up the good work also greeting from southwark caterdal tony mbe

Very busy which was understandable as the food was very nice. 3-4 seating areas in the small rooms which adds to it's quirkiness. Bit wet for outside. Very nice and helpful staff. Well worth a visit

We had just been visiting Lichfield Cathedral on a slightly damp day. We'd noticed this café/restaurant just opposite and so decided to have a light lunch there. Inside it was not exactly posh, just an old house with several rooms set out with fairly basic dining tables.

Lovely afternoon spent here with a friend excellent service, enjoyable food and will definitely revisit .

Chapters has a sort of homely charm when you walk in. This is emphasised by the welcome the staff always give you. Nothing is too much trouble for them and the fact that they smile a lot makes it a lovely place to eat. Nothing is rushed so whether its a drink or a meal you're after you can just sit, relax and enjoy yourself.

What a little gem this cafe is. Placed next to the Cathedral, the staff are friendly and helpful with lots of smiles. The food is amazing and all freshly prepared.

I have only ever been to Chapters for breakfast so was looking forward to trying their lunchtime menu. The weather was quite nice so we decided to sit in the garden, which was very pleasant. The staff were so friendly and helpful and went that extra mile to make you feel a valued customer. It was difficult to decide what to have from the varied menu, but I had vegetable lasagne, my son had omelette and his girlfriend had jacket potato with tuna mayo. All tasted delicious and looked it too (photos) It was tranquil eating in the garden - no noise or traffic and I even spotted an unusual insect (cinnabar moth) A lovely Sunday lunch and Chapters proved once again a delightful place to eat.

Cathedral linked coffee shops are often a hidden gem in UK cities. This one is in a delightful setting, with a lovely walled garden, in the shadows of the impressive cathedral. It’s off the beaten track of the city centre so has to rely on its reputation. But it’s very handy for the long stay Bird Lane car park. The service was friendly, efficient and quick. There is a huge choice of drinks, snacks and a better than average range of wonderful home made cakes. Plenty of seating - inside and out. And all the profits are invested in the cathedral (also well worth a visit).

We initially went in for a coffee before we went on to explore Lichfield. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We returned after our visit to the cathedral for a well deserved coffee and cake, which did not disappoint. The profits do go to help with the upkeep of the cathedral and is certainly no more expensive than most local coffee shops, cheaper than most of the chain coffee shops. The cakes were all fresh and looked as if they were made locally, certainly very nice.

Called in with my 80 year old mother as we were on a coach trip with a quick stop off in the city. Lovely garden, easy access for mum. Delicious cream tea. What most impressed me was the service. The ordering experience was very efficient, the ladies were completely in control and calm even though it was busy. Our order was brought out quickly by a delightful lady who, again even though very busy, was efficient, helpful and friendly.

Very nice old chapter house converted into a very nice cafe, loads of tables to eat out in the garden and tables inside. Only thing that wasnt that good was the sause bottles they were old small jam pots most of the sauce stayed in them instead of going on the plate.

I have had some nice food here in the past but called in for lunch with friend on Wednesday on a wet day and found it rather dreary and in need of updating. The only salad available was with Quiche which is not exactly a healthy option with the pastry and eggs and when I asked the young waitress if they could substitute chicken or ham which was available in other items on the menu I was refused. It was such a reasonable easy request that I am afraid I shall not be returning especially as we spotted a rat which we at first thought was a squirrel but it lacked the bushy tail climbing up the plant on the wall outside the window !

With Evensong still a hour away The Chapters was a wonderful place to sit eat and chat. On a sunny day, but not today, sitting outside in the garden is heavenly especially as the Cathedral is yards away.

Quality food, friendly staff and a lovely location.

And all served with a dash of old fashioned charm & courtesy. Son surprised us by having soup to start & then proceeded to eat all the courgettes which he "doesn't like"....you could have warned us they were this good! Real roast pork that was generously sliced but tender enough to "melt in the mouth". Her ladyship had crumble as usual but the cheesecake was gorgeous. With drinks lots of change from £60 for the three of us. That's worthwhile value-for-money.

I just called in for a quick cuppa and the staff where lovely and friendly. An extensive menu and the cakes looks soo nice. Everything was reasonably priced. Next time I'll have coffee and cake.

Had a great time with friends. We were 12 and everything worked so well. Certainly we’ll be back. Thank you Rhiannon and the rest for making us feel comfortable ☺️👍

We arrived by about 10am and there were plenty of free tables. We sat by the window looking out at Lichfield Cathedral. The young man who served us was very helpful and friendly. We decided to have bacon/sausage sandwiches. They were made with thick brown bloomer bread and the bacon / sausage was delicious. There was a nice relaxed atmosphere in the cafe and the assistant interacted well with customers. Will definitely visit again and hopefully sample one of the cakes next time. There was a fine array of tempting cakes on display.

Very pleasant staff don't wait long for your food, from the window seating area you can view the Cathedral and all the stone mason carvings. Prices are very reasonable too. A good choice of Delicious cakes and scones Herbal teas,

A traditional cafe with good range of food, whether you want a meal or just a cake and a cuppa! A lovely large pot of tea AND hot water pot as standard, not found very often these days!

I met my friend here for coffee and found it decidedly average. We both had a coffee which really wasn’t very warm at all and they cups are quite small. To me it seems a very old fashioned cafe in a nice setting. I wouldn’t go again as there are plenty of better coffee shops in Lichfield.

This is a great place to eat when visiting Lichfield Cathedral – right on The Close. I particularly like the Staffordshire Oatcakes, which are a bit like crêpes, and are not readily found elsewhere. There are various fillings – vegetarian and otherwise – to choose from. It’s well worth a visit, whether or not you are visiting the Cathedral.

Absolutely delicious breakfast, great value , even comes with a large pot of tea, worth every penny 👍👍👍

We visited here for a meal for the first time today and will certainly be making return visits. The food and service was excellent and we all enjoyed our meal very much. I can highly recommend the homemade steak, ale and mushroom and the desserts. We all had a different dessert and all were delicious. The building itself is a fine 18th century house which has a 13th walled garden on one side and the cathedral on the other. Looking forward to our next visit, when we are in Lichfield again.

After a very chilly walk around the nearby Stowe pool we walked past Chapters on our way to the Cathedral to visit the Christmas tree exhibition.

Had lunch and tea here, great food, wonderful service, good prices. Excellent and quick service, food good quality hot and plenty of it Couldn't ask for more

We were in Lichfield after a visit to the Arboretum in Alrewas and looking for a nice place to eat. We went here before going to look at the lovely Catherdral. The cafe was almost full, always a good sign. We found seats and ordered. I had the Lasagne with Chips and peas! And garlic bread. It was hot, tasty and plentiful, the chips had been double cooked, as they should be. I think it was £8.25. The staff were smiling, polite and helpful. I would go again.

Lichfield is a delight and unlike the nearby Stafford,one is spoilt for choice for places to eat.This place opp' the impressive Cathedral is great and very popular.Alison,looked after us very well and the only minor criticism is that when you enter the many alcoves it isn't clear if you have to order at the counter or it's Waiter/Waitress service as it doesn't say anywhere or on the menu.(Not sure if 'WAITER' is gender neutral????).

We stayed one night in Lichfield to visit its magnificent cathedral. The following morning we set out to explore the town centre and have breakfast. We chose this cafe because of the good reviews. We were very happy with our decision. The cafe is right in front of the cathedral and has some lovely dining rooms. We were the first guests to arrive at their opening time of 9am. I had the Chapters Breakfast and my wife the oatcake cheese and bacon, which we very much enjoyed. We would definitely come back again for breakfast or lunch.

This lovely tea shop is right opposite the glorious cathedral and serves all day. We only had teas and coffees here but the cakes looked delicious- I wish I'd been hungrier! There are lots of little rooms so you can choose your ambience and the staff were lovely and smiley with drinks delivered swiftly. My only issue was our table was really tacky to the touch which I find very off putting. To be fair, we were in a rush o we didn't raise it with staff.

A lovely building with a garden to the rear if you wish to sit outside. Good for coffee and cake or sandwiches/hot meals. We enjoyed a panini and a sandwich which were both very good fresh food. The service was friendly and we did not have to wait very long for our order to arrive. It is traditional in style with tables in different rooms of the house. You find a table and then go the the counter to order and are given a number to place on your table. They are happy to provide iced tap water if you require. It is adjacent to the Cathedral and has a restful atmosphere.

Seven of us popped in for lunch. We all wanted to pay individually but order together so we ate at the same time.

Often call in with my partner for coffee/pot of tea and snack if we're mooching round Lichfield. Loveley location adjacent to cathederal, nice building with a choice of rooms - can sit outside at the rear if weather permits. Decent value, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere

Took my parents for lunch and they were pleased with the delicious salad & quiche and homemade meat pie and chips. Service was a little slow but that was because the place was packed. Pleased that the toilets were on the same level as dining room (ie no stairs)

The revenue from this little place across from the cathedral helps to support the cathedral's activities. They offer an imaginative menu for breakfast/lunch, and a great selection of homemade cakes. It was the only place in town where I spotted Staffordshire oat cakes on the menu!

Situated in The Close, the restaurant is owned and run by Lichfield Cathedral. It looks small from the outside, but has two additional quite spacious interior rooms, as well as a large garden area, where one can eat outside if the weather is fine.

Excellent ambience, sitting outside in the courtyard, with the Cathedrals as a back drop. The garden at the back is also delighful, a peaceful haven.

This is the first time we visited Lichfield and was recommended this place by the volunteer staff at the Cathedral and gave it a try..Glad we did as it was a lovely old house converted into restaurant and it was lovely. The staff very cheerful and friendly and the outside eating areas were nice and clean and the views were good especially on a lovely day.. We went in the week and it was nice without being too busy..

I have eaten here twice in the past month with my family and on both occasions sat in the pretty garden - a peaceful place, yet only a minute away from the bustle of Lichfield. We have enjoyed light lunches- tasty panini sandwiches and salads. Service and food were excellent, with friendly staff, even when extremely busy. Would highly recommend.

Great to be able to eat in the close and look out on the cathedral. Staff were very pleasant and the prices were good. Lovely garden area which I didn't spot until I left. I will come back.

Lovely little coffee shop opposite the cathedral. Offers both indoor and outside seating.

2 sandwiches both only buttered on one side and very parsimonious at that

After visiting the Cathedral we had lunch here which was close by in the Cathedral close. It has a number of small rooms where you can sit. It was quite busy due to a coach party but the staff took orders and delivered freshly made sandwiches and drinks very quickly. There was quite a good menu should you want something more substancial. All the staff were a real asset being very polite and courteous.

Sunday lunchtime had an oatcake to start and then an excellent lasagne and a quiche. Service was swift, the food excellent and good value. We sat opposite the counter but there was excellent seating outside.

My family and l had lunch there today sitting in the very pleasant garden. My ploughman’s lunch was excellent...thick cut ham, fresh cheese scone and tasty plum chutney. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. Ideal place for lunch.

Having been for a visit to the Cathedral and the Erasmus Darwin House we were ready for some lunch. For a small cafe it has an extensive menu of both cold and hot meals at very competitive prices. There are rooms to sit inside or in the courtyard or in the garden. We chose the garden and it was a most pleasant setting. Our order was taken and we went and sat outside and waited for it. It was brought quickly by a lovely friendly server. The scones were obviously homemade and tasted great with the jam and clotted cream. A lovely experience.

We intended to visit Lichfield Cathedral and, walking up to it came across Chapters. It was about 12:30pm so we thought we would look in for a spot of lunch. The restaurant is divided into a number of small rooms and has some outside courtyard tables as well. The first thing we noticed was how busy it was (which we regard as a good sign) and were lucky to secure the last indoor table (and one with a magnificent view of the South side of the Cathedral.

We popped in really for a cuppa and some soup. However, upon looking at the menu and the number of rooms available we thought we'd have a cooked meal. My wife opted for the meat pie with potatoes, whilst I went for the Vegetarian Lasagne (sorry with chips). The meat pie was large and contained "proper meat". The portions were generous, the food piping hot as were the plates. The sauce came in a small glass jar not a plastic sachet - good for the environment. The tea and extra hot water was also more than ample and all served with hot cups. The price for the meals were magnificent £8 each. The room we sat in was wonderful as it over looked the 13th C garden. The tables were very reasonably spaced.

Me and my boyfriend has the 'winter warmer' each, liver and bacon - both big fans of that dish and had it in various pubs, cafe's and bistro's. What we received was truly horrid. It had been over stewed to the point it had the texture of watery pate and tasted of over rotten game seeped in wee. The bacon was chopped into the over stewed mush and also lost its flavour and constitution. Never mind, can cope with a badly done dish so long as there is compensatory action. Informed a waitress who although nice did not return to us, did not offer a reduction or an alternative. Left after having spend £30 in all with a bad taste in my mouth. Scones were great.

Enjoyed our lunch in the garden of this cafe located in the Cathedral close. First class service and good value, freshly prepared food make this an outstanding spot for refreshment when in Lichfield.

We visited on a Monday morning and the café was quiet despite it being the Easter holidays. The position is lovely - opposite the cathedral. The building is Georgian and full of character. The bacon sandwiches we had were on crusty bread and very tasty. My only niggle was my coffee got cold quite quickly. Probably because it was in a cup rather than a mug. I guess cups are more genteel and in keeping in with the style of the cafe though. There were several rooms to the cafe which would accommodate more people on busier days. We had a very tranquil breakfast. I eyed the cakes which looked very tempting, so I will be going again! I visited 'the ladies' on the way out. It was very clean, fragrant and the tiled decor appropriate for the style of the building.

Lovely freshly made sandwiches.Staff very pleasant and helpful nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely visit again soon.

First visit - tucked away by Lichfield Cathedral this beautiful Georgian house is in a lovely setting. We sat in the conservatory admiring the tea garden as it was a sunny day.

We live locally & had never been in before, it has a delightful tiny conservatory on the back, but I'm afraid the coffee was poor & the cake pretty awful. That & a screw sticking through the cushion of the chair that drew blood doesn't tempt us back!

A friendly welcoming cafe with a great choice on the menu. Fresh food abounds and the drinks are great also. Extremely convenient to the cathedral.

This is the third time have been here. Excellent high quality ingredients and lovely portions. Reasonably priced and clean and well decorated. We have been in Lichfield for just over a year and this is now our favourite place in Lichfield that serves food during the day.

We had the vegetarian breakfast it was lovely. The food was hot and served on hot plates. The lady that served us was very friendly . If I come to Lichfield again would definitely visit chapters

Visited Chapters Cafe by the Cathedral with my best friend.

Very pleasant spot for a light lunch after a mornings visit to the Cathedral. Friendly staff & very quick service. Several small dining rooms including a small conservatory with room for two. We had vegetable soup & roll which delicious.

Good, fairly priced, selection of drinks, meals and drinks. With friendly and helpful staff. Sometimes difficult to find a seat.

Called in with a girl friend for lunch on a bright February lunchtime. Light airy room at the back is a bit reminiscent of a guest house but a nice range of snacks. We had the pie of the day with veg and an omelette with salad. Nice to be able to get something without chips. Service was good. Will definitely go back again.

Met a friend for a light lunch last week. Have been before and has always been ok. We ordered turkey, Brie and cranberry sandwiches - one white and one brown. The bread was the cheapest sliced bread, slightly stale. Salad was mostly chopped up peppers and a little bit of tomato.

Went here one Sunday dinnertime for a sandwich and a pot of tea. Nice place next to the cathedral. My girlfriend had a ham and brie sandwich which looked lovely with nice chunky ham. I had egg which was excellent as well. Probably try a full meal next time. A real bug bear of mine is when you order a pot of tea and don't get extra water but here you do get lots of extra water. The cakes also looked nice. will return soon.

Visited for dinner - omelette, chips, peas.... chips were ? parboiled & fried or had been left awhile before frying and hence were just a shell containing frying oil - and inedible. Omelette was, unfortunately, served with the oil from the pan too; hence an unpleasant meal. The staff were friendly, welcoming, polite and organised; and as it became busier they had a "doorman" helping people find seats, direct people etc which was very good to see, especially as there seemed a lot of coaches visiting the city. The food in general looked good quality and fresh; although my meal was disappointing when I visited, this is not usually the case. They have a great selection of dishes on offer at reasonable prices.

Visited today for lunch with hubby after going round the Cathedral.

Myself and 6 friends descended without a booking on The Chapters today. Despite being busy we were found a table large enough to accommodate us all in comfort. Amazing home cooked food was quickly prepared and served. We were made very welcome and Rachel even made time to take a few group photos that we will share in our Veterans Magazine later in the year. Highly recommend this charming and unique cafe hidden away near Lichfield Cathedral. If it wasn't for the rain we would have missed an already treasured memory. Thank you Rachel and your team.

HIGHLY recommend this Café, The service was fantastic, warm welcome, prompt, efficient and friendly. (we were served by Rachel)
