Confessions Cafe Bar in East Staffordshire

I can not fault Hannah and her team, nothing was too much for them. My son, his friends and our family all thoroughly enjoyed his 18th party and others have booked events after attending. The venue is stunning and Hannah's prefered list of supplies were excellent. Would love to have another event here in the future!

We chose this venue for my husband’s wake and what an amazing place it is! It’s such a beautiful building and full of character inside, it’s just stunning. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure that everything was exactly how we wanted it to be and we cannot thank her enough. We wanted festival themed and she put up bunting and other decorations we provided to make sure it had the right feel to it. Everything was just perfect and for that we are eternally grateful. Highly recommend.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Confessions in December and it was the most perfect experience. The staff were so attentive from the moment we booked to after the big day, no request or question was to small or silly! We loved the fact we could do whatever we wanted for our day, from Domino's pizza for food to our 3 crazy fur babies coming along! They even delayed putting the Christmas tree up as my partner didn't want it for the big day. We cannot thank Hannah and the team enough for helping give us such a great and seamless experience!🩷x

Wow! I NEVER leave reviews, but this place, just.. wow! From the very first interaction, Hannah the manager was incredible, a visit to the venue, brochures emailed was within the first 24 hours of me enquiring! Upon meeting Hannah - she is the asset to this already incredible venue - NOTHING is too much trouble and no matter what I asked, wanted or requested, she takes it all in and delivers! Including “Hannah I want indoor sparklers and a fire breather”.. “okay beck let’s do it” she would say. Over the year before our event she would continue to check in to see if anything had changed and if we needed anything, she has genuinely turned into a friend, not my venues manager, I’m actually going to miss her. On the day of my event - she handled EVERYTHING, including late suppliers, she didn’t even let me know and just dealt with it, I’d of been none the wiser. The venue - incredible! All our guests have commented on how BEAUTIFUL it was. Hannah and her bar staff - well - they were part of the party - they joined us, encouraged us, even got our wedding props on behind the bar. We loved it! Hannah - THANKYOU from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn’t have done this without you. You are INCREDIBLE at your “job” and your venue/business is AMAZING. BOOK THIS VENUE!!!

We have used many venues over the years to host different events but confessions has been the best by a long shot. Not just the building it’s self but the staff, and everything that goes alongside that have been second to none. The attention to detail in listening to our every request was met without fail or questioning. This is a venue that serves so many purposes for so many events. We will definitely be back for future events. Thank you so much.

Amazing!!! Confessions made our wedding Day perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. Hannah and her team are thorough and professional. If you want a day to remember use confessions.

I had a 30th birthday party at Confessions and would highly recommend both the venue as well as Hannah and her team. The venue was set up perfectly when I arrived (lovely lighting including fairy lights, drapes around the room and big 30 light-ups) and Hannah ensured the evening ran smoothly so that I could relax and enjoy my evening with friends and family. Hannah recommended and booked a DJ for me in line with my age/taste and they were perfect. Drinks/cocktails were also important to me and the bar was stocked with everything my guests wanted, drinks were reasonably priced and the staff were great. The building/venue is a hidden gem and I'm so glad I discovered it!

Well, what a hidden gem we found to host our post wedding celebration. The venue was stunning and all our guests commented on how beautiful it was. Hannah went above and beyond to make sure our evening went smoothly, the bar staff were excellent and the doormen were friendly but professional. Hannah suggested our DJ Errol as she felt that he was best suited to our age range and this was reflected in the number of positive comments we received from our guests. All in all it was an unforgettable evening and we would highly recommend Confessions as a venue. Bill and Julie x

Our wedding at Confessions was perfect for us. Hannah and her staff are amazing before during and after. Beautiful historic venue with character and charm. Their was nothing to much trouble from booking to after my wedding day. It was perfect. Thankyou to the Hannah and the confessions team for making our day perfect. Highly recommended if ya want a perferct wedding day

Great venue for an 18 birthday party black tie event we had. Hannah and her team were great all through the planning stage, and fantastic on the evening itself.

We chose confessions for our wedding venue, the venue is stunning all our guests commented on how beautiful it was. Hannah was very helpful and informative about how the wedding day would run. We had lots of meetings and she was always on the end of the phone or email for any queries we had. We also had a lovely night stay at the unicorn in newton solney which will always be a special place for us to return to for our anniversary. I would highly recommend Confessions for a venue for any occasion

Great venue attended an evening wedding reception..probably not big enough for very large weddings. Think just a venue.and disco and food and decor is your own choice. So optional. Would reccomend.

Held my 40th Birthday here last week. Absolutely amazing venue! Hannah and her team were so well organised and friendly. All my guests commented on what a great venue it was. Would highly recommend.

We booked Confessions for my husband's 40th birthday party and not only do we highly rate this venue but we had several guests tell us how stunning they thought the place was. I couldn't have asked for more from Hannah the manager - all her outside service recommendations were fantastic and she went out of her way so that the day of the party was stress-free for me and the party itself went without a hitch. This party was up there with our wedding on the importance scale and our only regret is that this venue wasn't around when we did get married! Lovely place and would hire again in the future with any other big celebrations.

My son had his 40th Birthday party here it’s a lovely room It’s was a fantastic night the DJ read the room and had us all dancing the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble We are off back to Yorkshire tomorrow but will definitely tell my friends if they are ever in Burton to check it out

We recently held our Christmas party at Confessions. The venue is amazing and the decor and finishing touches really add to the atmosphere. Excellent, professional service; staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time; really clean and welcoming. Would highly recommend as a venue for your special event. Big thanks to Hannah and the team.

We recently had our annual Christmas party at Confessions and had a great time! The venue was great, and the staff were very helpful and attentive throughout the night. Overall a great venue and would recommend for any social occasion! Thank you from everyone AI Global Media.

I booked confessions for a works Christmas party & Hannah was amazing throughout the whole process! Nothing was an issue for them. The staff were attentive & polite. The food was 5* I honestly couldn’t fault it at all!!!!

I had my 50th birthday here. It was amazing. Hannah worked so hard to pull all of it together to make it a V.I.P experience.

We booked Confessions for our daughter’s engagement Party. Hannah was absolutely amazing she catered all our needs for our big Asian style party. All the staff were so helpful. Most importantly all our guests loved the venue. 😘😘

The people who work there made us feel very welcome and they were also super friendly and nice! Highly recommend!

We hired the main room for our daughters 18th birthday party. From the initial enquiry with Hannah everything was dealt with in a professional, friendly and efficient manner. We were able to visit in advance to discuss options, layout and how the night would work. Hannah gave options for catering, disco and additional lighting which were all agreed and organised for the night. On the evening the room looked fantastic. All staff were friendly and quick with no log queues at the bar, even for cocktails. The DJ arranged by Hannah was great and played age specific music to match those there which resulted in a brilliant 18th birthday celebration for my daughter that everyone will remember. I would highly recommend using Hannah at Confessions for any special event you are considering. Thank you for making it a night to remember

We booked Confessions for my wife's 50th Birthday party and everything about the event was fantastic, from the initial enquiry to the party itself. Hannah made everything run like clockwork and was always on hand to help and with helpful tips and ideas. The venue is brilliant for a party and the staff on the day couldn't help enough - thank you!

Amazing venue for any special occasion. From start to finish dealing with Hannah at Confessions was stress free, she is there to help with any questions. You can basically hire the venue and do as you please with it to a point. On the day of the party Hannah put out my table decor and balloons for me and was also on hand at the venue at night. The bar staff were excellent. i would highly recommend this venue

Held my sons celebration of life event here perfect venue very beautiful setting, the staff were so helpful and friendly. Thank you

Beautiful venue, decorated in keeping of the history of the building to keep its character. Amazingly unique place that is memorable and has all guests commenting! An absolute hidden gem in central burton! Staff are attentive, ensure all goes to plan and really professional. Whatever you ask or require is never too much, I would highly recommend confessions events and will be having further parties there in the future!

Excellent venue. Very classy. Looking forward to returning x

The most INCREDIBLE venue hire, definitely the best in Burton. Lovely size for a private event, gorgeous building, super helpful and professional staff … and they make lovely cocktails! Couldn’t have been happier with our three days of using this venue for an art exhibition, will definitely hire Confessions again in the future.

Got rid if coffee shop enjoyed my weekly latte

Top spot for lunch. Welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere and high quality food!

Truly disappointed. I used to love this little cafe, great food and coffee served by staff who used to be willing to go above and beyond. It’s a shame to see the place take a drastic turn recently, poor management is showing. The menu change is great that’s if the chef is there to cook or been shopping. Many times I’ve gone recently to be told I can’t order food. I would understand if it was busy but it never is so serving your only customers should be priority. I used to love coming here but I never will again, it’s a shame my wife and son would have meetings with clients here but after being disappointed week after week none of us will be returning. Never in our 6 months of coming in had we received problems like this. The staff are no longer as happy and helpful which also shows, and the new management is proving lazy and incapable... Please do something about this, I’m not the first and won’t be the last

I hired Confessions for my daughters' 18th party and everyone had a great evening. Would definitely recommend it.

I was on my way to get some lunch with my girlfriend and spotted by luck this beautiful place, we walked in and was met with the most wonderful atmosphere so we sat down and had a coffee, to our surprise they sell local coffee made in Staffordshire. the staff were very polite and accommodating so we decided to in fact have lunch here, I had the steak sandwich and my girlfriend had the pork belly bites and we shared some halloumi chips and I have to say it was the most delicious food I have had in a very long time it was perfectly cook and well seasoned and just a real treat to find somewhere in burton that sells high quality food that isnt ridiculously expensive we will definitely be coming back and having some of your sharing platters as they look amazing thank you so much for a great experience 5 stars

I use Confessions in a weekly basis to work from as well as hold meetings. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the lunch is nice as well.

Used Confessions a couple of times to meet clients and get some work done when on the road. Clients love meeting there and always make a great latte. Upstairs hot desks are brilliant to get the work done.

Great service amazing location. Wonderful coffee. A true gem off the main road! Will be visiting again!

Great food great place for a drink and catch up

It was our first time here and we really enjoyed the breakfast. The quality of the customer service and the atmosphere were great. We ordered the vegan breakfast, which was very good . Great place , will definitely come again .

Visited The Trinity to check out the facilities to hold an event, what a great place, cafe, hot desk space and local businesses all under one roof. The developer has managed to keep some of the original church features including the stain glass windows. Well worth a visit for a coffee and a bite to eat. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

I feel good here,very good music, great atmosphere and quality service, quality staff and positive people you will meet inside,was some event and I ask if I can have a drink, a beer, in traveler clothes and I was welcome, I recommend this place,it is amazing

I have visited Confessions several times in 2019. One thing is always the same the staff are really helpful and friendly The atmosphere is great and I love the building its always a great place to meet candidates and clients I only usually have hot drinks but have eaten on a couple of occasions both times were enjoyable One time my business partner and I were asked to sample a spiced cake that was delicious Would recommend if your looking for a meeting place

I currently work within The Trinity building and use Confessions on a daily basis! The food is always so tasty and I am always excited to see what the special board has to offer! Super energetic Staff and always so efficient!

Like their attempt. Not working for them at the moment though. Wish them all the best and more than happy to go back.

As always every time we go there first class service lovely food lovely Ambience nice people very enjoyable

Had my breakfast here this morning lovely poached egg on gluten free bread lovely calming atmosphere.will call again💛😁😁

Spectacular setting. The food has potential, but they need to upgrade the ingredient quality, e.g. thin white sliced bread does not make for a great sausage sandwich. Service friendly, but slow.

I have visited Confessions several times in recent months and enjoyed light lunches, snacks and coffee... but on a recent morning visit I decided to have a breakfast sandwich. I was so impressed that I just HAD to write a review. I can't remember the last time that I ordered a bacon sandwich in a cafe and was asked 'How would you like your bacon cooked?'. This is what the staff member said and I was able to ask for crispy, well-cooked bacon. What a difference it made. The bacon sandwich was just how I like it. I also requested toasted brown bread and got the bonus of some tasty tomatoes in balsamic vinegar on my plate when it arrived. There was a generous amount of bacon and the service was swift and friendly. Freshly-cooked food, made just the way you like it. What's not to love? So while my crispy bacon sandwich (pictured) might not be to your taste.... you could ask for it your way.

Decided to try here based on reviews. Big mistake.Staff uninterested. Panini very poor, undercooked and absolutely no cheese present...basically 1/2 baguette filled with branston chutney. Not very busy, I know why!!! Will not return or recommend.

Lovelly place pleasant staff and goid food

Excellent food, lovely venue, staff could not have been more helpful (& weren’t too fussy either). Best kept secret for afternoon tea in Burton on Trent. Cost reasonable too. Would highly recommend you visit this very charming, unusual venue! Helpful with dressing tables too. Thank you

Visited for a business meeting, perfect venue to discuss business, great coffee, food was delicious There is also hot desk space coming in May, which we will definitely use

Thank you for an amazing party for Holly aged 3. Staff were really flexible and helpful and the atmosphere was great. They put on a great spread ideal for little ones and adults alike. I would highly recommend the venue for events!

Just popped in for a bit of lunch. Lovelly burger and chips free cup cake were a supriseand a smashing pot of tea

Popped in for a light lunch with my wife having heard positive reviews from work colleagues. Certainly wasn’t disappointed, staff were very polite and attentive and the food was delicious. Lovely unique setting in the old church...

Great food, polite staff, great service, beautiful building. We really enjoyed our visit. Thoroughly recommended.

Great food and amazing customer service.

Fantastic food and service and a lovely place. Will definately be going back.

I would definitely recommend coming here I have been a few times and have always enjoyed great food and friendly service. I ordered Tangine off the weekly specials menu and it was absolutely delicious I was very impressed! The whole place is very chilled and the views of the church are stunning while you sit and eat your lunch or drink your coffee. It really is burtons hidden gem. I will be back soon!

Myself and my wife booked for an Afternoon Tea as a treat, and we decided to try Confessions due to recommendation from a friend.The setting is beautiful, and we couldnt have been more relaxed in this stunning former church. The service was great, both staff looked after us throughout the meal, and we even had a box to take away as we simply couldnt manage everything!Would definitely recommend

Visited last week. Stunning venue with a great selection of food and drink. Perfect for working lunch, business meeting or networking. Or simply go have a drink and check out the beautiful building. I will be visiting a lot more in the future

Beautiful building, comfy environment, good coffee

Lovely little hidden gem of a cafe! Service always with a smile and a chat, food delicious, coffee sooooo good! Wanna impress work mates to a posh brunch? Take them here! Wanna impress parents/in laws? Take them here! Can't fault it!

Had a disappointing visit they invited back and said they would improve well they are as good as their word just had a lovely meal well done confessions merry christmas

Confessions is a brilliant place to stop off for a coffee or a snack, I had an incredible burger which had an amazing melted cheese sauce.

FAB. Five of us converged here for lunch (three generations). Lovely menu. Gorgeous building. Hi-chair for grand-daughter. Two of us had turkey sandwiches (cranberry, stuffing) with chips. Teas and coffees. Daughter had the all-day breakfast - looked great. Son had soup + roll. Grand-daughter had what ever she demanded from all of our plates! Can't wait till next time. ROB

We visited the delightful Confessions Cafe today for our Christmas Lunch get together. The food was lovely, the staff are extremely friendly and the surroundings are gorgeous!

After a previous visit with the wife that she reviewed the manager got in touch.asked to pop in and discuss the visit. We are now pleased to say they listened to what we had to say and treated us to our lunch as a thank you. We are only to pleased to let everyone know how well we were treated and the food was great.

Ordered pannis we have never had pannis that were uncooked before ,we had a wilted salad had to ask for cutlery,I do not blame the waitress she had obviously had not been trained

12 of us went for an afternoon tea to celebrate my retirement and although the staff were lovely and attentive - but a little slow with drinks - it could not make up for the disappointing selection and amount of sandwiches. Each person was given half a bagel with a strange filling, one finger thickness ham sandwich and the same of cheese and pickle. There would not have been even half a slice of bread each. The scones were ok although quite small but the selection of cake was poor. On each cake stand there were two large pieces of carrot cake and one of chocolate cake. There were no dainty cakes you would normally expect of an afternoon tea. I would have given this a 2 rating if it were not for the lovely staff.

What a gem! Happened upon Confessions this afternoon. Great coffee served in beautiful surroundings.

Popped in for afternoon tea while on a short visit to Burton on Trent, and came across Confessions which is tucked away on a side street off Station Street in Burton and located in an old church. The building still retains a lot of its original features indoors and out and as such, conveys a lot of character.

A really nice friendly café with good coffee and excellent service. A little out of the way but well worth taking the trouble to find

Private party. Staff excellent. Great location

Peaceful atmosphere with friendly service, good food and great coffee.

I recently discovered this café and it's a gem. Kristine is lovely. The location is very peaceful and spacious. The food is freshly prepared. The coffee is spot on. It's not Costa and it's not Starbucks. It's what a great coffee shop should be.

This was the 1st time we visited, we were very impressed, the building is stunning, very stylishly furnished to a high standard. Lots of the old church features remain. We met Steve the owner who was happy to show us round and talk, the Lady who served us was lovely and friendly. The food was well priced and obviously freshly made, good quality. We have already recommended to our friends, we have no hesitation in returning soon. Places like this are an asset to Burton and should be supported. Very well done Steve & team. I strongly recommend you visit soon.

Had a lovely breakfast with friends. Service was great and the beautiful architecture of the building made the experience even more enjoyable. Will definitely visit again.

Had a lovely breakfast here with friends. The lady running it was so lovely and couldn’t do more to help us. It’s definitely worth the trip because it’s not just the food and drink that’s nice, the place itself is just so beautiful! Will definitely be returning again!!!

I visited Confessions for an out of town breakfast meeting and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Absolutely gorgeous scenery and atmosphere to sit and have a morning drink in. Will definitely be visiting again.

A former non conformist chapel may not be everyone’s idea of a cafe- but this building has been sympathetically and tastefully refurbished. It really is a pleasing surprise.

This more than just a Coffee shop, there is a bar that serves all kinds of tasty cocktails and alcoholic beverages.

Great looking coffee and stunning looking building. A really good place to work outside of the office!

A massive thank to Kristine for accommodating our 6 children and 7 adults . Beautiful building and relaxed atmosphere. Kristine went the extra mile to make sure we were all satisfied. Would recommend highly.

The atmosphere and ambience is quite remarkable in this beautiful old building lovingly refurbished to a very high standard. The welcome by very pleasant staff is wonderful and the food and drinks excellent from a very varied menu.

A totally unique location, and a real oasis of tranquility in the town centre. Fantastic service and food added to the great cafe experience.

Lovely cute little place! Food looked great and not over priced, staff were friendly. Definitely going again :D

Just found this place. It's lovely

Visited this hidden gem with a friend last week for lunch . We had beautiful fresh food ,coffee & Cake !! Would highly Recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere different ..They also do GIN !!
