Reviews For Cafe Under The Spire

I love this place. The food and homemade cakes/scones are always fantastic, the staff are the most lovely people and the general atmosphere is lovely. Excellent adaption of an old church building. Me and my friends had a "fire room" which are located just by the doors but have their own curtain "entrance", tables in, and a stove, which Terry (the on site handyman) very kindly lit for us. The staff have always been the soul of this place and today's team was as lovely as always. The quality of the products is exceptional too. The staff are always fantastic, the man that owns the church is great and we are frequently served by Abby and Ava, who always greet customers and make for a great visit. This place hosts some some excellent events, themed evenings and charitable nights. All must visit!

Me and my mam have just recently started to come here for our coffee and catch up and let me tell you, you need to try the caramel ice late! The atmosphere is so relaxing and the mirrors are lovely!

Great atmosphere and lovely people for a Monday evening spiritual group. Didn't have any food, but drinks were served with love. I'm looking forward to going back again!

It was quiet, homely and friendly. Looking for a place to recharge and enjoy a good coffee with a friend or maybe you want high quality food without having to deal with the rigidity of modern eateries? Well you've found it! Easily the go to for top notch coffee, I haven't felt this welcome in a place for some time. The staff are warm without it feeling like an act, the food was a little more fancy than I'd anticipated but it's very good and the young lad making the coffee made two of the best Cappuccinos I've ever had.

Had a lovely lunch in here for my Sister’s Birthday. Staff members are absolutely wonderful. Polite, helpful and lovely people. The atmosphere is something out of the Hobbit or Harry Potter. Portions were massive, with fresh homemade chips. Pizza tasted great. Will definitely be going back.

It’s an absolute magical place! We went for dinner on Sunday and there was an amazing band playing lovely music and singing. It was like being transported into another place and time! The Sunday dinners were delicious, full of flavours and very big ! All of the staff were extremely pleasant and cheerful! The decor is quirky, cosy and stunning. I love this place ! We are planning on going back again tonight! I’ve added videos from Sunday and some photos from a previous visit when I’d had salmon and it was perfect! Thank you !

Visited after finding out Cotfield mirrors trade from here, and loved the idea of it being in a church! It's a hidden gem, definitely worth adding it to your places to visit just for the setting, let alone the unique ambiance, lovely food and friendly staff.
