At the Chapel

I had dropped a family member off at a wedding near Yeovil and decided to stay overnight in Bruton as I wanted to visit Hauser & Wirth. My stay at At The Chapel was ideal. I was upgraded to a lovely room on the ground floor which was much appreciated. The bedroom and bathroom were both very well equipped and the bathroom was quite luxurious. In the morning a couple of freshly made croissants from the in-house bakery were placed in a paper bag outside my room. A proper English breakfast is also available but I didn’t try this. The hotel has its own small car park but there is also on street parking at the front door on the Main Street. I highly recommend a stay here if you are visiting Bruton or anywhere else in the area.

Lovely room with a little garden, tastefully decorated and quiet. Particularly loved the magazines and books that were included in the room, and that they were happy to swap the breakfast croissant that they offer for a GF alternative to accommodate for my gluten intolerance. Very convenient location too. Most definitely we'll be returning!

Myself and my partner booked a 2 night stay At The Chapel, Bruton, in a cosy loft room. On arrival we were given a complimentary upgrade to a ‘cosy suite’ in the loft - and what a fabulous room this was - simple stylish design with a minimalistic slant - it was very well designed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a great walk in shower - sadly we didn’t use the free standing bath, but it looked very inviting. The toiletries were abundant and very nice scents. The tea tray was very good with plenty of tea, coffee and fresh milk. The complimentary croissants each morning from the on site bakery were delicious and a lovely touch to our stay. Staff were excellent - friendly , professional yet pared back and not fussy… they let us relax. An excellent location too right in the heart of Bruton.

We took a (very) expensive room based upon the website and with a beautiful weather forecast. We were very disappointed the garden was closed "for a private function"; we were much looking forward to a drink on the terrace upon arrival. ||Further, the restaurant is really too noisy - no acoustic measures whatsoever have been taken, which is very well possible in a space like this. It took more than an hour after being seated to get a pizza on the table.||I'm sorry to say that with such a promising location, the visit was a disappointment.

What a lovely time! Relaxing and conveniently located! We had fresh croissants hung on our door every morning with fresh jam and milk n the fridge which we loved! we had a great view from the loft room and the staff were super friendly! highly recommend!

Only stopped by for a quick coffee, and the service was pretty poor. It wasn’t busy, but still took more than 5 minutes to order, and had to go up and remind them about my coffee after another 10 minutes. I asked for an iced americano, but it was so hot it nearly burnt my mouth! The hotel looks lovely, and the venue is superb. It’s just a shame about the service.

Great food, quite expensive but to be expected because the locations nice! Service was pants - waited 20mins for the bill, stood at the bar and didn't get served, and wasn't brought cutlery and salt and pepper for the roast so had to get up and get it myself. Waiting staff need some training... then 10% service charge for well below average service... disappointed to be honest! 😑

Excellent bar snacks and delicious Sourdough pizza. Dessert not their strongest point but mains and delicious South African Babylonstoren wine made up for that.

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.
