Staff were amazing, food was amazing. The best cooked steak I’ve had in forever. We will definitely be coming back to The Chancel very soon
Great welcome, great ambience, great service and great food! This has become our regular restaurant in the town centre for lunches and pre-theatre. We love it!
First visit last night will certainly come back loved the atmosphere food very good and service great would recommend to anyone . I’ve had many pre theatre menus which have been lacking but here they are of great quality and quantity
Excellent food and service. The atmosphere was good and the staff were very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and looking to return soon
A very enjoyable evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. They welcomed us and made us feel very comfortable. The place is quirky but relaxing. An extensive and varied wine list gave us a lot of choice. The service was efficient without being overbearing. The food was very good indeed,my scallops in a half shell were delicious. My wife had blanchebait and they too went down well. I chose the lamb rump and this was cooked and seasoned very well indeed. My wife chose swordfish and again this proved to be an excellent choice. The overall experience was enjoyable and we would recommend this place highly.
Wonderful restaurant very fresh fish amazing sea food platter!! Good service- highly recommend. Good fir a family occasion or special event. Easy to park as well.
We had an amazing date night here. Wine is great, food is great (we had seafood), ambience is great, service is great. Will be back again as soon as we can.
A lovely relaxing pre theatre meal. Excellent food and a varied choice of wines by the glass, half bottle or bottle. Very welcoming and pleasant staff. Great atmosphere after a long drive!
First customers of the day but warm welcome, very friendly staff, tapas (x6 between two) were just right for lunch although without groupon voucher would have been a bit pricey. Steady stream of seemingly regular customers, and enjoyed some good banter with a local couple. My wife felt she was rather pushed into having a new non-alcoholic drink rather than the water she originally ordered, but this was a minor facet of really good customer service. Wine was sound but again seemed slightly overpriced although a large glass did suffice for me duringthe duration of our visit. Background music very 70s - 90s easy listening stuff, which probably reflects the age of the average lunch time clientele - all in all an enjoyable experience and would definitely return for the right occasion.
Fantastic place food is great staff great day no more
We had a pre theatre meal at the Chancel with some friends on my birthday - excellent value, lovely food and very efficient and friendly service. We would definitely visit again and will try it for lunch next time.
We visited The Chancel for a joint birthday meal, the food and wine were excellent and very reasonably priced. The waiting staff were lovely, as was the ambiance. Would thoroughly recommend.
Reviewed on Trip Advisor - but amazing. Great food, ambience, service and wine. We are definitely going to return at some point. Oh, and we ordered from the pre-theatre menu which was excellent and good value.
Really friendly welcome, lovely ambience. and attentive service. Great wine menu, we had a lovely Pinot Grigio. And the food was amazing. My wife loved the starter special home made scampi with curried sauce, whilst I had the pate which was very nice. I had the pork belly and my wife had the lamb rump, for mains, both dishes as was all the food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. For desert we had sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream, which was very nice. We left the restaurant full a little tipsy and very happy with the dining experience we had just had. Would definitely dine here again. Many thanks
Great little wine bar with excellent food. Very relaxing atmosphere - I went with my two best friends and it was quiet enough to chat without feeling like everyone can hear your conversation. Lovely friendly management team too. I would highly recommend this place for a cosy meal.
Great food friendly staff, a must go to in Plymouth. One of my favourite spots, pre theatre or an evening out. A great quiz on a Monday night I think
We were treated very warmly and the food was all we expected. unfortunately my health has been poor recently so was unable to push the boat out and valentines day probably wasnt intended for folk in their 77 year. that said the evening was a delight many thanks Mike
Great service and meal was superb , had the Sirloin steak off the pre theatre menu followed by sticky toffee pudding and clotted cream. Second time I’ve been would definitely recommend a visit.
Great seafood, wine, service, and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend for both a formal and informal occasion. Loved the music playlist/ song selection.
This is an excellent place run by nice people serving good food and very nice wine, and positioned very well in a good part of town. What's not to like?
.Very handy for theatre.Service good as was the food .I had a delicious fish stew with fennel,all were pleased with food and price very reasonable.
We sat downstairs where there are just a few tables, more importantly its a phone free area which means you only get the sounds of quiet conversation. This combine this with really good food, toffee pudding has to be the lightest I’ve ever tasted, an pleasent attentative staff and you have a good dining experience.
We have been several times and will rebook again. Brilliant food and restaurant. Food is always fresh and tasty. Everyone enjoyed the steak and swordfish.
Pleasant atmosphere and very tasty food on the pre theatre menu .. fast a d efficient service from very amenable staff .. would like to thank them for the last minute menu change they provided for a late diner . Will definitely return
Visited last night with a friend and had the amazing seafood platter! The restaurant has a lovely cosy feel with great service. Definitely worth a visit.
Delicious food, and great service. Waitresses were lovely. I had the Sea Bass and scallops and it was perfect. Unfortunately, it was quite cold in the back room where we sat even though the put heaters in there. Would definitely go back.
Excellent service and choices on the menu. Food very good and they have an extensive choice if you are gluten free. Quick service for pre-theatre.
Absolutely fabulous meal and the staff were fantastic - even brought my hubby a birthday card and candle in his desert. Will book again !!
Fantastic restaurant, lovely food and great service will definitely visit again
Great service. Lovely food and really buzzing atmosphere. Staff were attentive and smiling which made the whole experience most enjoyable . We would definitely recommend this place
I went for a long lunch with my wife and it was fantastic. We had Tappas to start and they were superb we had the meatballs, patatas bravas, paprika beef, chorizo and honey this was an excellent choice and very very tasty. Service was superb, kind and staff were happy to help. Lots of good wine to be had. My wife had sea bass and scallops and I had the fillet steak with a pear and walnut salad. Both mains were beautiful to look at and even better to eat top marks. We had been there for over an hour by now and no sign of anyone hurrying us up, thankyou. My wife had a lovely light pudding to finish, then a great cup of coffee followed by a final glass of red. \What a great meal and lovely dining experience, well worth a visit.
The food was very good but I feel the staff need a little training in the finer points of service. While it is a lovely place to be it took a while to get served and the owners are lovely. The wines as ever are great.
