The Hidden Chapel in Conwy

Ate a delicious cod and bean stew for lunch. Attentive service and the food came quickly. Such a lovely venue, a unique place to eat!

Great venue, lovingly decorated. Food and drink menus were both varied. 3 courses came to £90 per couple including 1 bottle of wine.

Gorgeous setting, impeccable service, and tasty locally sourced food. I had spotted the Hidden Chapel when looking for lunch spots and found myself really drawn to the venue. It didn’t disappoint. I would love to go in an evening sometime to lap up the atmosphere especially as I spotted they sometimes have live music.

Such a unique restaurant. The cozy chapel was a perfect Sunday lunch spot with a young man playing the keyboard. This was one of the best Sunday lunches we have had in a long time. I had the roast chicken with veg and potatoes- everything was so fresh and the chicken was tender. We drove from Chester and would definitely return to have lunch here. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Really beautiful and unusual place, romantic level lighting, great service and really lovely hearty food. We would recommend to all :)

Intersting and characterful location in the old chapel . Good food and service prompt and friendly for Saturday night, Brill with lobster bisque very good.

We had a wonderful experience at The Hidden Chapel. The food and drinks were excellent, as was the ambience. It was one of the best meals of our entire trip. We would recommend it to others!

Lovely hidden gem. Food was delicious. Very atmospheric being in a old chapel...will definitely return.

When I got on vacation I like to eat at unique restaurants… places I likely couldn’t eat back home in America … and if they have good food that’s even better. This place ticked both marks. And had great service ! I loved eating in this old church - it was Beautiful. You can’t ask for better vibes. And the food was delicious - not a single thing we didn’t enjoy. And honestly not even expensive considering the quality of food and location. We got two main entrees, three drinks, two appetizers, and two desserts. It was less than 100 pounds total. Absolutely recommend you stop by here and have a bite. It was lovely.

We were staying at their B&B, which was an amazing accommodation and decided to dine there as well. We were glad we did! The food was delicious, and the staff were all gracious. This dinner set the standard for our trip; nothing else quite measured up.

Lovely atmospheric restaurant with so many original chapel features including the beautiful organ makes this somewhere interesting & different. Food was excellent, very tasty. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. My gluten free diet was not a problem with most dishes adaptable to accommodate & the staff keen to help with my choices. There is also a very pleasant seating area outside. And the setting; well it’s hidden so an oasis of calm, close to but away from the noise of the high street.

Food is good but they put the prices up in the evening,the same meal in the afternoon was £12 cheaper but to be fair, they do have to pay for the live music 🎶

We enjoyed it immensely. The pianist was clearly gifted and kept the mood mellow. The food was fantastic. We enjoyed the lighting and the ambience. In short, no notes!

Service very slow, 2 ladies waiting but kitchen very slow sending food out. Portion size is small. Menu sounds great but in reality food was not great. Had shin beef thingy that sounded fantastic but it was basically a small cottage pie lol and cost £26 for the pleasure lol. Also had the pork, again sounded great on menu,very small portion size and undercooked(pork had blood in it on a couple of pieces) so did not eat it all that was £25.We did not stay for desert as disappointed with main and time taking to make food. Very expensive, they try to make menu and food look like Michelin star chefs . Over all food was tasty, just small size portions and very expensive for what you get. Bill was 70 quid for 2 mains a bottle of beer and a glass of red wine.

We would just like to say what a lovely experience we had.  The food was absolutely amazing and helped with the lovely ambiance. Colin, Monica and team are doing everything the customer appreciates.  We cannot add any criticisms. Absolutely will return. Tim & Lynne

Meal for two, saxophonist playing live music, great service and food, little bit of wine, what more can you ask for.

The welcome was great. Very professional, polite and efficient staff. The ambiance within the chapel is perfect for evening dining, our drinks order was taken pretty much straight away and plenty of time given to choose our meals. The drinks menu was extensive and the wine very good. The food arrived in good time and was well presented and delicious. Obviously, a lot of attention has been given to the ingredients and the preparation of the food; this was evident in all three courses. A broad variety of different ingredients and innovative techniques used meant we really enjoyed our food. The live jazz was a bonus, I'm more of a blues guy myself but I appreciate live music wherever it's played. Overall, a very pleasant experience and well done to everyone who contributed to the evening, we will definitely be back and would have no reservation in recommending you to our friends.

This is such a special place - wonderful food, attentive and respectful staff and a fabulous ambiance. This is the second time I've eaten here and the food was delicious! I had the tomato salad to start and pea risotto which was delcious!

I had friends visiting from Manchester, and we stumbled across the Hidden Chapel for an impromptu lunch. The converted Chapel is beautifully decorated and has a mezzanine floor. There is an outside section too for warmer days. I had a tasty chicken caesar salad, and my friends had the steak sandwich and beef shin pie, all which were very much enjoyed. I look forward to coming again to this quirky and special restaurant again in the evening time.

Outstanding food and service.Would definitely go again and recommend

Amazing hidden little place. Such amazing food.

The place and ambiance is very good, the staff very friendly. However the food/value for money is extremely poor. I don’t consider £25 for a Shin Beef “Pie” good value at all, considering that all this came with was a very small bowl of “salad”. Very disappointed.

Ate here Thur 27 June. Saxophone player was lovely touch. The meal did not disappoint. Little tip from ‘me to you’ - the Pea Soup is 2 die 4 and who knew that fermented cherries was a ‘thing’ Would not hesitate to recommend this place

I booked my mum and I a table here for our last night of our break in Conwy, and had really high hopes for this after reading reviews and seeing how quirky the place is. We booked at 5:30 on a Wednesday and there was only us and one other couple for the duration. Obviously they have kept a lot of the original church features which gives a really unique feel to the place (you sit on church pews which aren't the most comfy things to eat from). We both left with mixed feelings about the food. We both had the roast cod which had really minimal veg with it (about 2 potatoes and a couple of chopped tomatoes) and the pear crumble was mainly oats with chunks of pear and some 'fermented' cherries (I wasn't a fan as it completely overpowered the pear). I understand they are aiming for fine dining and expected somewhat small portions, but at £61 for 2 mains, 2 desserts and 1 drink, we came away feeling ripped off and a bit underwhelmed. I think the main draw to the restaurant is the place itself. The staff/service was great, but is it value for money? Absolutely not.

Oh how wonderful is this little gem! Food music and staff 💯 thank you so much we will definitely recommend.

Great interior (being a chapel) which is nicely decorated, delicious food (I had plaice in a buttery caper sauce and pear crumble for dessert) although a bit on the pricey side!

Vile owner, super rude woman who discriminated against us. Avoid.

Food is top notch, service is pleasant, the venue is quite stunning and different, worth a visit. However, we found the seating to be uncomfortable and therefore did not stay for desert / coffee.

Stunning restaurant, gorgeous food. Great staff. We’re coming back soon.

Very romantic setting in converted chapel. Friendly and attentive staff. Food was excellent. This is French restaurant-style food not pub grub.

A lovely venue, very attractive former Methodist chapel. Rather cool temperature though and wish I had worn a jacket. Great solo sax playing on the Thursday night went went. Food was quite nice, though very long delays between courses. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Overall good but courses quite small. Had to have a snack when we got home! Only two beers and three courses bur the first time we have paid more than £100 for just two of us, ouch. Very nice but unlikely we will return.

Very delicious food and lovely ambience. We shared the scallop starter. I had roast curried swede with kale for main. My companions had chicken and haddock respectively. We thought all the meals were excellent. For dessert we shared the forced rhubarb cheesecake and the chocolate soup. These were very nice indeed and not overwhelming portions. Probably nearly £50 per head with drinks on top, but that is about what it costs to eat out now. A really great birthday experience. If I have a negative comment it is that they take last orders at 7.45pm we like to eat late, but I do except many people do not. If it makes it easier to employ good chefs I am happy with eating at 7.30pm

Four of us in for lunch - wet weekday in the run up to Easter. Charming space, Chapel conversion obviously, which has been spared no expense or detail in its new role. It looks like the small plates concept had now been replaced with a more traditional a la carte offering. All dishes were spot on! Because we were in a tapas mindset walking in only one of us had a larger plate with others sharing an assortment of starter dishes, and really wonderful desserts. Friendly and efficient service. Very reasonable pricing, especially the wine list. Nice to see! Looks like they have the facility for some limited outdoor dining but the interior is very much part of the experience. A "must do" if you're seeking fine dining experience in Conwy.

The restaurant has an impressive interior. Food is beautifully presented and very tasty. Thought main course was on the small side and the brisket was slightly dry. A jug of sauce/gravy would be great. Church pews need proper seat cushions on them. Staff got more attentive as the evening went on.

The Hidden Chapel Conwy AMAZING refurbishment of an old Welsh chapel in Conwy into a bar/restaurant (only opened last summer) and boutique B&B Gwynfryn B&B Conwy accommodation within the Chapel House & Vestry just off the main high street. The attention to detail in the decor and the mix of choices is so impressive, antique, eclectic, vintage and modern. Offering a variety of experiences such as parties, afternoon teas, and a small plates menu. It's also convenient that it's just minutes away from the railway station. It was spotless everywhere including a sneaky peak into the kitchen. Oh and check out the old fashioned but fully working toilets. We tried 3 small plates, crispy lamb belly, ratatouille kale salsa verde 👍, baked hake, salsify & shallots kale hazelnuts 👍, beef brisket, buttered mash, cauliflower and carrot salad 👍the baked ginger custard, forced rhubarb sweet oats dessert and a small cheese platter (which we forgot to photo). All local produce and have to say compliments to the chef for their menu with unusual but tasty mix of blends and nice to see some different desserts other than the usual ones. Would give 11/10 review just for the refurbishment but yes 5/5 restaurant review yesterday for our lunch. Highly recommend you visit, currently open Thursday Friday Saturday all day for drinks and snacks from the bar and 12-2 and 5:30-8 for small plates menu.

We had a lovely meal here for the Valentine’s Day offer. The food was outstanding and we enjoyed every single bite. The service was so lovely and attentive. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxing with the candles and the lights. We had such a lovely evening and will definitely be returning.

Beautiful building and lovely and cosy inside but I have to say we found the food very underwhelming. Sorry, but turkey dinner was a bit naff. Roasties and parsnips were anaemic, had a few sprouts and bit of red cabbage. Not sure if there was stuffing but not a carrot in sight...unusual for Christmas dinner. Christmas pudding was tasty though. Was quiet when we went. We were looking forward to it but sadly felt a bit disappointed.

My partner has always had the knack of finding hidden gems to stay, but this was above and beyond. Wow! What can I say, it was just that, wow. The whole ambience and attention to detail was on point, and tastefully decorated to the old chapel, the room itself was outstanding. With a gorg view over Conwy Castle. He had arranged champagne on arrival which was delicious! I had no idea where we were going, but living only an hour away it was a brilliant little surprise. We didn’t eat from their menu, although it did look amazing, the breakfasts were! I had the eggs and salmon. Perfect potions to set you up for the day. Thank you for making my birthday a special memory keep sake.

9th December 2023 while enjoying our stay at the Gwynfryn Hotel in Conwy we ordered a meal inside the Hidden Chapel and were not disappointed. Decked out for Xmas the Chapel was cosy and welcoming and included a well stocked bar. The staff were delightful, well mannered and efficient. The first course was a rather delicious Leek and Potato Soup served with Brown Bread. Followed by a sumptuous main course of Roast Turkey, Pig in Blanket, Roast Potatoes, Parsnips, Sprouts, Braised Red Cabbage & Gravy. The dessert was an extremely tasty Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce. One of our party had an allergy to gluten but was skilfully catered for, with her entire meal being completely gluten free, extremely tasty and with no allergy worries. Yes I would certainly recommend a stay at Gwynfryn and a meal in the Hidden Chapel. I shall be taking my own good advice to plan a return future visit.

My wife and I had a wonderful time, the accommodation was amazing, and the attention to detail is spot on. We had a three course meal, which was outstanding. The staff were very helpful and the service was very good. I can honestly say this was one of the best night stay I've had on a long time. The Hidden chaple is a must. I would recommend it to anyone

The hidden chapel is a hidden delight! We recently spent the night at this glorious B&B. We were astounded by the stunning decor and features throughout the dining area with stunning Christmas decorations which take your breath away. The rooms were outstanding and fitted the period charm within the setting of Conwy. We dined on a 3 course Christmas dinner in the evening and a beautiful breakfast which are also deserving of an AA rosette. The selection of drinks were also plentiful and the service throughout from all staff was exceptional! Definitely worth a stay! Thank you Colin, Monica and team, we will return very soon.

Wonderful experience. One of the few places where the food matches the ambience. Never been before but ordered all the small plates at the same time but that was OUR mistake. Consequently, by the time we got to the 5th plate is was cooler than it should have been, but now we now know how it works we will order a ''starter'' next time we visit. Only complaint was the lack of particular drinks but I'm certain when it becomes more established that that will change. Decor was fabulous with exquisite Christmas decorations. Being an Old Chapel it had a truly magical festive feeling. See you again hopefully, next month.

What a delightful evening. Lovely building and inside was done very well, retaining the original Chapel feel and furniture. The seating was spacious and generous. The drinks menu and wine list had a nice choice at sensible prices. The concept of small plates (not tapas) is my favourite offering. It means that you can have a nice selection and variety of tastes. As for taste.... all the dishes were superb, and the accompanying garnishes equally impressive. For the quality of food, I thought it was good value. Go and enjoy, relax, share with friends.

What a fabulous gem of a place. Tucked away up a little side road is the Gwynfryn B&B. Attached is the Hidden Chapel restaurant. Plenty of seating, both pews up to tables, and comfy sofas with squishy cushions. The menu consists of "small plates", and changes every few months depending on what ingredients are in season. Beautifully presented and everything we've had to eat has been delicious. It's a great idea as the starter size portions mean you can eat 3 or 4 plates and not be over full. Genuis!! Would definitely recommend.

I can't remember how I'd heard about Hidden Chapel but did some research and thought it might be great for what I was after. Four friends and myself wanted somewhere " grown up" for adults only with a little class and sophistication. Elegant surroundings and attention to detail on the food and wines available. Yes indeed , it was ! There was no " hard sell" by the staff when we got there ,we were allowed time to peruse the menu and chat a while. 6 elegantly presented small plates were chosen and each one delivered on taste and a gastronomic vision ! There was then a sumptuous cheese board and another desert . All small enough to enjoy the flavours but not too much to make you feel like you'd overinuldged . Beautiful , creative refurbishment of the chapel with the offer of larger tables for bigger parties or some very intimate small spaces for those on "Date night" ! We will definitely be returning and am looking forward to another fresh menu for our Christmas night out ! Fabulous Samantha

Lovely food, a bit of a wait but worth it. Surroundings was tranquil and relaxed. Great for private parties

We returned here with friends and stayed on the 24th October for b&b. The loft rooms in the chapel are lovely , a bit snug , but we love it , as its quirky and unique. We ate in the restaurant on this occasion as...

Good Food, Great Atmosphere, No Children, No dogs! About time Conwy had a place like this. Its becoming hard to find venues like this around Conwy and Llandudno.

Tasty food and a very nice place

Excellent food in a beautiful old chapel in Conwy. Highly recommend the Beef Shin.

Just stopped for coffee lovely interior

Fantastic local ingredients skilfully cooked. We are regulars to Conwy but have never come across this adults only gem Before. We will definitely be back!! Food and atmosphere is stunning and now we have learnt they have rooms we will look to stay here too

What a lovely find, all the years we have been coming to Conway and never knew this gem of a place was here. Monica the cheese board was to die for, love little lunch in lovely surroundings. We will be back soon.

Lovely place! Amazing space and the host was great. We didn't eat here but definitely would in the future, the menu looked fab. We're gutted not to be staying long enough for the murder mystery night!

A hidden gem. Excellent food comprising of a simple menu of small plates - all absolutely delicious. The chef ‘Daniel’ is clearly talented, and it was special because the food was different I.e. not your basic fish and chips, steak and chips or pork belly. . A great setting and a warm welcome.

Amazing bar tucked away from the busy high street. Great ambiance, excellent friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend!

Hidden away off the square in Conway, the Hidden Chapel has all you need for a fantastic culinary experience. Set in a converted Methodist Chapel, complete with original features like the organ and pulpit. The atmosphere is a mixture of cosiness and sophistication, perfect for...

A very nice place to go for coffee when in Conwy, but 2 coffees at £7.50 seems a bit excessive. Okay we sat outside in a very atmospheric courtyard and the converted Chapel is lovely, but if this is the price of 2 coffees I think it's designed for a more affluent clientele.

Loved the roasted cauliflower, courgette risotto, raspberry cheesecake, and rice pudding. The mackeral polenta and beetroot salad were good. Beautiful restaurant in a converted church with indoor and outdoor seating. Not busy, surprisingly it did not appear in any of our guidebooks. Good wine selection.

We had a lovely evening in the Hidden Chapel, Conwy on a Saturday night. The space is in a converted Methodist chapel and is beautiful and tastefully done. The food was delicious. We had their small plates menu and opted for 2 plates each (...

Attended the venue to be told children are not allowed inside, my family had to be seated outside. Not that much of an issue but an inconvenience until a couple with a baby came and asked if they could sit inside and was told they...

We went and sat in with the kids, we then got told that we weren't allowed kids inside and asked to sit outside so we ordered drinks and sat outside, after we went to the toilet and the owner started bad mouthing the kids and...

One star is being generous. Felt like me and my family were scum. Upper management talking to us like absolutely rubbish. The staff member that served us was pleasant enough. Overheard the staff member telling one family they can’t have kids inside but allowing other children to come in. Inconsistent at best. Need some basic business skills

My husband and I enjoyed a very tasty light lunch of a delicious homemade sausage roll,cheese board and pavlova . The staff were really lovely and friendly and provided an excellent service. The peaceful chapel building was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit...

We stayed in the The Hidden Chapel for 1 nights bed & breakfast and stayed in a converted loft room Edward 1 with lovely views over Conwy and the castle. Everything about this historical converted Methodist chapel has been tastefully done and is perfectly located...

Had a stunning meal in stunning surroundings, every plate we had was full of flavour. Well done guys on a job well done. I look forward to returning soon x

Absolutely Devine! The flavour of every single dish we had was superb. And we had one of every dish including the two specials available. The setting is completely unique , just sunning! The price point is spot on for the food/wine we received. Can’t wait to visit again. Well done guys, and thanks for a lovely evening

Unique place in town, hidden gem. A very well converted chuch into pub, restaurant and hotel. We stopped just by case looking a place to eat. They offer a good selection of food and a reduce pub menu outside hours. Bar is good also.

I don’t often write reviews but we had absolutely disgusting treatment by the owners. We came in with two young children and a dog and a person in a wheelchair. They advised they don’t cater for children but we accepted this and we had a...

First of all,the Hidden Chapel was a lovely place to have a drink, the two waiting staff very nice and friendly. The problem was the food, claims as Tapas,unfortunately the food comes nowhere near to be called Tapas, I think the chief should look at...

Stopped off for a drink on the outside terrace, real afternoon sunspot. Chapel is fabulous after recent makeover........will definitely visit again for small plates menu. Lovely place to visit.

We discovered this place while walking along streets of Conwy looking for places to drink. The place is lovely looking from the outside. It is a converted chapel and the interior is actually very cozy and nice. There is also an outdoor sitting area. The...

Relaxing treasure! Good wines and beers. Wonderful sinny terrace and dining in the Chapel. Friendly people

We enjoyed having a light supper and drinks at this unusual and delightful venue before the Conwy Classical Music Festival. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere.

This restaurant is wonderful! It is a hidden gem off the beaten path in Conwy. Set beautifully in what was once a chapel, it has a relaxed vibe and good service. The small plates menu had several very good options. The chicken and lamb were...

An excellent place, food and service!

Fantastic place! We stayed here for the weekend and will be staying here again when we next return to Conwy. The owner Colin was friendly and welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. The loft room was perfect with amazing views and a very authentic and rustic feel to staying in a chapel. The cooked breakfast in the morning was served in the chapel itself where you sit on the old pews. Amazing experience! The food was substantial and delicious and the staff and service was excellent. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Thank you!!!

Our group were initially told we could have a table, then they seemed to decide otherwise and asked us to leave before we got to order drinks, stating that they were “fully booked” when the place was empty. No welcome whatsoever and we were told...

Such an amazingly special place. Looking forward to my next visit already.

Visited the Hidden chapel yesterday as hen party of 12, no table pre prepared for us. We had afternoon tea, one tea stand between 4 people, the scones rock hard, tiny dish of jam and clotted cream which was enough for one person. Sandwiches were...

Found this place by accident and it’s just amazing. We had the cheese and meat platter and it was fantastic. So much for the price. The staff can’t do enough to please us. It’s so good we’re planning on visiting again tomorrow. If your in...

Found this literal hidden gem on a trip to Conwy. There is a lovely terrace/beer garden to the rear of The Hidden Chapel and the inside of the place is immaculate. Beautiful dark oak interior. Great selection of drinks too. The owners were lovely, very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Came across this beautifully converted chapel by chance as it is hidden out of sight as its name, The Hidden Chapel, implies. Had lovely cream tea in the sun.

This is a recently opened restaurant situated in the chapel adjacent to the Gwynfryn Bed & Breakfast guest house in York Place. We were a party of 6 who had booked our table for 7 p.m, on Saturday, August 31st. We chose, from the "Special"...
