Night out at the church is always an experience. I have yet to come here for a meal, but the meal seems good. I've been out a couple of times with the and it is always packed and has a good selection of drinks and cocktails at the bar. The outside is literally a church, but the inside architecture is great, especially at night. I would definitely recommend a visit.

The staff aren't even covert anymore as to how they will ignore males (who are unaccompanied by females) who are waiting for a drink and will serve women several women before that man despite waiting before those people and waving at them when the bar maid asks who's next. Absolute joke! Shoddy preferential service, pretentious vibes and half of the staff are on it 😂

First time eating here upstairs. Food was lovely, everyone in the group was happy with their choices which I always take as a good sign. Thin crispy pizza base which I like but there's no choice on base. Nice drinks too & great service. Onl thing I that because Chester Races were on the queue for the toilets was really long & they weren't in great condition by the evening.

We went out of curiosity, it said church bar, and in fact it was exactly like that. A bar inside a real church... very characteristic. We had a drink and spent some time inside the place, outside there is a nice outdoor terrace with lots of nice people sitting and chatting. If you come to Chester you definitely need to take a look.

I have come to the church for 5 years and it's always a great place for cocktails and it has a great beer garden. Highlights have always been the zombie, mojitos and the old fashioneds. It has great music at night in the beer garden and you can settle out there for the night in the summer. Unfortunately we came here today and the cocktails were absolutely awful. The mojito was completely flat and I sent it back and got another which was the same. My friends got the old fashioned which used to come which a big sphere of ice with orange peel around it, now they come with basic ice and both my friends said they were very poor compared to usual experience at the church. It has put us off but hope it is a one off but I doubt it.

It's an old church, so expect stained glass windows, old church organ and general church architecture! Outside terrace is nice, with heaters for those of us that feel the cold. Beer and cocktails on special deals, so reasonably cheap. We had pizza for food, it was nice but not spectacular. Overall, we both enjoyed it. What let it down for me, and this happens almost everywhere I go, is the man in the gents toilets with a selection of toiletries hoping for a sale when you wash your hands. I really wish this wasn't a thing, since it brings down the whole experience for me. I'm guessing this is a Friday/Saturday night thing and most nights you can relieve yourself without someone standing watching you, so I'd go back to the church, but not on a Friday or Saturday night.

My recent experience at The Church was marred by the shockingly unprofessional behaviour of one particular bouncer. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with blatant rudeness and disrespect. Despite arriving precisely at 5.45pm, the bouncer insisted that we were 1 hour and 30 minutes late, which was simply not true. This was especially frustrating since we had arranged a booked event via email, clearly indicating our arrival time. As a table of 16, we were informed that booking a booth for 12 people would be sufficient, which we accepted. However, the bouncer angrily informed us that the booth was limited to 12 guests only. Seeking clarification and a resolution, I requested to speak with the manager. Shockingly, the bouncer went as far as denying entry to my partner, as my partner swore in passing comment to the group, basically stating that it was a ‘joke’. The bouncer thought he was speaking to him and from that denied his entry. Unjustifiable act only added to our frustration and disbelief. I appreciate that a couple of my friends became involved in the situation out of frustration. However, it is important to note that if the bouncer had not been so incredibly rude from the beginning, this unfortunate escalation would have never occurred. The overall treatment we received from this bouncer was completely unacceptable. Their demeanor and attitude were not only disrespectful but also tarnished what should have been an enjoyable evening. I urge the management to take appropriate action and ensure that such unprofessional behaviour is not repeated in the future.

We attended the Church as a group of 8 for a cocktail class, as a hen do activity. I apologise now, the man who conducted the class was either called Taylor or Tyler. He was fabulous and was very engaging with our group and was excellent in showing us how to make 2 cocktails from their menu. The first one we made was a "Strawberry Mojito". He gave us a demonstration and then 2 by 2, we went up and had a go ourselves at making the drink. Personally, i do not like rum but making the drink was fun and interesting. The second drink was called "Tastes like Fanta" which was mostly lemon based. Even though the bride spilled the mixture on her dress, Taylor/Tyler was very helpful and made sure we had enough ingredients for her to try again. We had a glass of prosecco on arrival, 2 cocktails to make, a couple of shots and a skittle bomb. It was very accommodating as I was unable to drink shots or the energy drink in a skittle bomb, Taylor/Tyler provided me with a shot of lemonade instead. Food was provided as part of the package, in-between the 2 cocktails. We had 2 pizzas, fries and 2 bowls of loaded nachos (pulled pork and chili beef). On a couple of occasions we had non-party people stroll into the room. Taylor/Tyler was very good and ushered them out quickly and closed the door to ensure that our class was remaining private throughout. We highly recommend booking the cocktail class at the Church for any event. The service is beyond what we expected and all were very impressed. Massive shout out to our teacher as he was brilliant!

Been to the church several times over the years but in recent visits just feel like it’s gone down hill. Outside area looking a bit shabby. We ordered a pitcher cocktail priced £25. What a waste of time, I’m certain it had no alcohol in at all. We also ordered a platter for £25. Same standard of food as Wetherspoons but triple the price. Total waste of £50

It's some racist place. My friend and I were ordered to move out of the table because "someone else" had booked it. We moved out and decided to wait and see who this person was but immediately after leaving the table the guys who were standing next to us sat there. I asked about when the imaginary guest who booked the table was gonna arrive but was told he's coming and he never came for next hour we waited there. In conclusion, we were moved from that table because we were the only blacks present there on that day. If you're black and worse with no British accent, go there at your own risk. Was there on the 6th of May from around 17:30 on the table under the "let's party" sign

We had the beef Sunday roast today and it was amazing. The beef was cooked beautifully almost didn’t need a knife to cut it. The four freshly cooked vegetables were delicious and the gravy was definitely the best I have tasted. Didn’t have room for a pudding although looking at the next table I wish I had. The staff were great company telling us stories of the centuries old pub. Well worth a visit. I’ll certainly be going back.
