Went here for a family birthday meal - Loved every minute of it! Amazing atmosphere if you want a quiet or romantic dinner. Had 3 courses and every one was amazing. The belly pork was cooked to perfection, best I’ve ever tasted. Service was amazing as well, we were served by a man (can’t remember your name!!) where nothing was too much trouble. Overall a really amazing night and can’t wait to go back again

Food was very good but the venue was really let down by a poor response from the manager concerning a problem with the initial drinks order - her attitude was extremely disappointing when the waitress did bot bring a drink in a bottle as requested. She came to the table with an aggressive attitude, saying it was not their policy to put bottles on the table - despite me already having one on the table! Within 20 minutes we saw three more bottles delivered to nearby tables. Then it took nearly 50 minutes for the first course to arrive - with two other nearly tables arriving 10-15 minutes after us managing to get their orders before us - coincidence!?

Most things are naturally gluten free which is clearly marked on the menu. There is a lot of choice. The food was fantastic and the staff were very good.

We had the pre theatre meal. Unfortunately I had a large piece of grit in my starter but fortunately did not break a tooth .... There was a refund made though we did have to remind them........ The other two companions were happy enough with their meal. Service was good and attentive.

Excellent food, great location, and good value. Recommended for those wanting conviviality in central Plymouth. At first I was wary of being seated downstairs - but it was fine.

Everything was excellent, service and fish platter very good but the fish pie was ordinary, too much potato and not enough fish and quite bland. However, I would not hesitate to revisit

Lovely atmosphere, friendly owners, happy to accommodate needs, good menu selection, great fresh tasting food. What would have made it a 5/5 is that if the lady serving, doing drinks and taking bill payments had more help to keep up with demand.

We had a lovely evening with our friends at The Chancel, the staff were friendly, attentive and very helpful, and our meals delicious. I had the fish pie which was very good although it was only white fish whereas i personally would have liked a bit of salmon and smoked fish to be included. This however did not stop my enjoyment at all. My husband had the swordfish with skinny fries and salad which he thoroughly enjoyed. We would definitely recommend visiting here and will definitely be coming back.

The restaurant was quiet because it was cold, wet and midweek. The welcome, the service and the meals were excellent - quite the best we have had at the Chancel for some time. Our son was with us and he enjoyed it immensely. So satisfied customers in every respect.

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.

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.
