Quinno _ left this review about Church House

A wildcard, with no PuG listing and we also managed to gate-crash a wedding party. According to the pub website, this was a former church hall for St Pauls church over the road and was renovated to its current use in 1997. The interior has a deliberately ecclesiastical feel with a very attractive dark wooden, almost gothic, bar back. There’s also a lovely concave ceiling with frosted glass. There are some Wetherspoon-esque booths downstairs, with a small raised seating area to the left leading onto a patio. Two ales available, Doom Bar and Hooky Bitter. I tried the Hooky Bitter which really wasn't up to much and came in a Kronenberg glass. They make a big noise about their food being freshly-prepared and locally sourced. Downstairs has damp and badly maintained toilets – odd, considering so much time and effort has been expended upstairs.

If impressive interiors are your sort of thing, give this one a go.
