At the Chapel

Our stay at the chapel was over the Christmas period and it was perfect. The staff were friendly, helpful and their hospitality made our Christmas very chilled and perfect. It’s our second time at the chapel and on both occasions we have left well rested and well feed. The rooms are comfy with great views and there was no noise coming from any of the other rooms. The breakfast blew us away and the croissants in particular were a real treat. Freshly baked daily on site and perfectly laminated. Finally our stay was reasonably priced and the restaurant meals were very generous portions. Not a single small plate in sight. Highly recommended this place.

This was our second stay At the Chapel. It is a perfect, very comfortable base for a lovely long weekend. Extremely well placed right in the middle of Bruton. A great short walk away from the beautiful Hauser and Wirth gallery, plus lots of great food options. Totally recommend.

Really cool space with a good energy. Food was delicious lots of nice attention to detail. Service was attentive but not overbearing. We had a perfect family Christmas celebration for my sister in laws 60th birthday

Had an hour in the village and came across this place for a coffee. Location and venue is obviously second to none, what with it's beautiful minimalist decor. Great service and coffee, little disappointed with the almond croissant which was rather dry, dense and overdone. That said the pizzas looked great and I certainly would come back to try one.

The restaurant service was excellent. Stunning building. Food was great....we only had breakfast, but very good quality and well presented. The Bakery is sublime!!! The apple cake and chicken pies were worth the detour to sample this place. Stocked up on some very tasty goods!! Highly recommend.

Food was stellar, sourdough pizza had amazing texture and depth of flavor from whatever flour they were using (presumably a high extraction, not standard white) - in a different league from most pizza. Chicken dish and vegetables were also beautifully cooked. Somehow they managed to keep the chocolate mousse desert dark, dense and absolutely packed with chocolate flavour. Someone in the kitchen obviously deeply cares about what they are doing - stunning. PS. The gents downstairs could do with much better cleaning.

The food here was very good. The flat iron steak was cooked perfectly with lovely accompaniment’s and an amazing kick to the peppercorn sauce. The burger was also excellent quality. It wasn’t the warmest welcome, not sure if it was because they were busy, but we would go back because most of the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was so good.

Lovely place, great service and a great burger. However, it is a bit pricey as London prices go, and sadly felt ripped off to pay £4 for bottled tap water having asked for still water, with a used recycled bottle that was not hygienically cleaned around the lip and stopper, and then be charged optional 10% 'for service' for it! Why not be honest and state 'if you are 100% satisfied with your experience with us, are you content to pay an additional 10% of bill to honour our staff?' I would have taken each bottle of water off the bill but why embarrass staff with management's poor decisions towards greater profits. Why not consider offering free tap water or donate a £1 to water aid per bottle if you can't be bothered to sell real still spring water? But definitely properly clean the reusable bottles, it may make a difference between a happy customer's experience and a slightly poor, if not critical review. P.s. cannot fault your burger!

What a solace from the city. It was just really nice get away. I wish I could go back by just hopping in my car rather than flying over the ocean. My friend in London recommended this trip to Bruton to stay at the Chapel for a short weekend. We had all our meals there and just loved the food. Cocktail was not so great- Moscamule was not served in proper copper jar. Their bakery is amazing. The chia seed, other multi grain bread was sent from the heaven. I highly recommend this place!

Whether you are visiting The Hauser and Wirth Gallery, beautiful Stourhead or simply passing by, I recommend you stop by for a meal At the Chapel. The vibe of redesigned sacral interior is very appealing and creates a truly atmospheric backdrop for appreciating the food and drink. Starting the evening with an aromatic espresso martini I was shortly after served with some wonderful bread baked on site. For the main course I picked a ribeye steak which was of excellent quality and surprisingly affordable. Everyone I was there with was satisfied with their meals and we were the last to leave the place. What a gem!

What a beautiful place! As the name rather obviously implies, this is a restaurant/tea room in a former chapel. What is also unique is that they have a rather upmarket a la carte menu as well as a more affordable pizza menu, thus catering for all tastes and budgets. I came for afternoon tea and was happy to explore the building (check out the most beautiful toilets!) - unfortunately, we ran out of time to walk around the grounds. Apparently, Bruton is quite well known but I had never been - fully understand the village's attraction and look forward to returning for a more in-depth visit.

First time visiting the English countryside + Bruton with my family last week and At The Chapel made it feel like home! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful space. The rooms were spacious and very tastefully decorated and the bathrooms were so luxurious. The croissants delivered to your door in the morning are heavenly, especially topped with the jam. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The restaurant at the hotel is fantastic and very convenient. Unfortunately, the hotel does not have air conditioning so it was very hot. The windows do open and are very large and beautiful. They have Dyson fans in the rooms but these provide very little cool air. Not a major complaint, though. Also, Bruton is a very small town and there is not much to do right around there. We visited the Hauser and Wirth museum close by and spent a day in Bath. Highly recommend this space!

Nice venue, terrible service. Had to basically beg for a menu. Intended in staying for a meal but service was so bad decided to take business elsewhere.

Been here a few times. Always excellent food and service. Lots of local ingredients well cooked. Great bar downstairs and nice rooms if you're out too late.

Let's get started.. Firstly, if you live nearby and are at a cross roads about where to eat for either lunch or dinner or even take away (yes I did say take away), just go here. "Wow what an assertive review, darling, I'm pretty sure the guy writing this review wor-" I'm saying go because of a variety of reaons but most of all the pizza's. Just get one, it will be the best pizza you're going to get in Dorset and probably the surrounding counties too. I think the there was a string of four or five visits where I just exclusively ordered pizza. "Surely if it's this good it's going to be pretty pricey right?" On average you're looking to pay £11-13 pounds for a pizza which in my opinion for a wood fired pizza of any standard isn't that much nowadays. This isn't just an average pizza though and is most definitely worth the money. *Get the chorizo one get the chorizo one get the chorizo one..* "This guy keeps on pushing the pizza, there has to be other stuff on the menu.." Correct, after having the same pizza over and over again (I don't normally do this it was just that good) I opted for the chargrilled chicken which is up there with some of the best chicken I've ever had. If, like me, you're not that roast loving kind of person and are kind of bored of the whole roast chicken thing get this, (if you're not opting for a pizza). "I only see four stars though you've obviously hiding something from us you've made it seem great so far" Well noticed, a couple things annoy me (annoy is a strong word but hopefully you see where I'm coming from). I could be really cynical and say sometimes there are a few too many kids which are noisy but there are kids everywhere nowadays so I'm going to let that one slide (This is only really a case at lunch). Now, you may of been on their site, looked at the menu and seen a burger. It's not bad at all, a lot of people order it and are happy with it. However, on the menu it says "At the Chapel burger, Westcombe Cheddar, skinny fries *seems like the caps lock key is being randomly pressed but whatever*. You'll be happy to know that all those things are on the burger. I ordered it, I believe on my very first visit and it arrived, big bowl of chips which is great, everything's fine. Until, I discover this mustardy saucy relishy paste in the burger. Why? Just Why? It doesn't need it at all. In my honest opinion if you need to add any relish of funky sauce to a beef burger you don't have enough faith in the quality and taste of the rest of the ingredients. It's just such a let down because the burgers of a decent standard and it just feels tainted by this sauce which THEY DON'T EVEN LIST IN THE MENU. That's what pissed me off, if they said relish or whatever on the menu I would of asked for it on the side. If the restaurant reads this review, add whatever sauce you put on it to the menu description for the burger or even better remove it all together, it really doesn't need it. There's a reason fast food chains have to stick pickles and mayo and the rest into their "products". Chips range from 6/10 to 10/10 based on how recently they've been cooked. Get a rediculous amount of chips as a side. I haven't seen anyone finish them single handedly, not that I'm complaining. It's way better than having next to none. Nothing wrong with decor, I'm a boring guy so don't expect me to go into tones of detail about this. Oh yeah, phone up and book a table. You don't really want to be stranded in Bourton for too long with nothing to do if you get my drift. I don't work there by the way..

Very disappointing. The place is fantastic layout spacious and bright. The food was poor. The burger was so salty, the chips were mush and all different sizes. It was expensive for the quality of food. I really wanted to like ATC but sadly I won't be going back

Arrived late for lunch at around 3:00 so only pizza available but the best pizza I've had in years! Service very friendly and the other plates of food visible looked excellent. Would definitely come again.

At The Chapel is a real gem in a lovely town. The food is excellent, the space is beautiful and the attitude is friendly and very helpful. We stayed in the attached b&b which really is a great relaxing break. Beautifully detailed - just enough of everything you might need to have a restful stay. And the bath & showers were THE stand out favourite! Food is very good. The sunday roast, pizzas and sea bream dishes were all excellent. The croissants in the morning are perfect... I can't recommend At The Chapel enough!

Oh gosh how disappointing, it looks the part beautiful setting views across the countryside, but bit by bit the cracks start to appear. As the saying goes promises much delivers little. Like a film set it appears to be a bistro but is actually not meant to be actually used. Three cooks are visible and yet they let pass food that was less than acceptable, to me this always indicates a top down problem as no one is keeping and marking standards, no pride in what is being sent out. And they are not shy about charging £8 for a small plate of mozzarella and tomatoe and let's face it you don't need to have trained years to make that but still it was so cold and therefore flavourless, I didn't have this but my friend had and nearly had an ice cream headache from the coldness. The meat wasn't rested so bled over the plate very unappetising. I could go on but will spare you.
