Friendly service and great choice of food and wine, including daily specials. Visited in the evening but would be good to go back for lunchtime tapas.

Standard maintained at this restaurant - good service and food. There is a fair amount of choice on the menu but not too much, which means usually that the ingredients are fresh and not out of the freezer.

Polite staff, excellent service, delicious food. They dealt with two dietary requirements efficiently and without problems. Just one small niggle: we found out later that they had a special pre-theatre menu, which would have enabled us to have the same food at a lower price. Our theatre tickets were for a matinee; I understand that their special deal is advertised more clearly in the evenings. we will go to the Chancel again, but will check any special deals more carefully in future!

It was a lovely meal. Atmosphere was good as well. The tables are a bit too close. Maybe a bit privacy would have been nice.

Our second visit to the Chancel and just as enjoyable. Informative, friendly staff and the food is delicious. A great place to visit before or after the theatre, which is just a short walk away.

Great welcome, good food. Disappointed that my food choices weren’t available and I wasn’t told until another dish arrived. No apology. But food was good. Service then went down. Shame because I do like this little bistro.

The Chancel manages to keep up a good standard despite the fact that Paula wasn't there this time. Our meals were very well cooked and the young staff did their best to keep the service and general ambience going.

The food is great, consistent quality whenever you visit and the staff are lovely. They are friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is great whether you visit at lunchtime or in the evening. Another plus is it’s close proximity to the Theatre which is 5 minutes walk away.
