    Amazing, atmosphere and food. Wasn't sure what to expect upon entering but once seated soon relaxed and felt at home. Staff are amazingly helpful and friendly. Decor is out of this world .. gothic, rustic fusion, niche style may not appeal to everyone but the fact that it was actually a working church what has been done is fantastic. The food is soooo good and value for money?? YES. in this financial climate this is extremely affordable. Highly recommend if you haven't been. I will definitely visit again.

    First visit here today catch up with an old friend. Wow! Is my reaction as I walk up the cobbled path in the church grounds towards the entrance, passing an array of outdoor seating tables/chairs fab on a sunny day. I had to stand still & was overwhelmed with how beautiful the inside Cafe was elegantly structured & decorated throughout, & as far as the eye could see! I highly recommend a visit here, had a lovely chatvwith the owner's who took our food/drinks order. We were encouraged to have a walk round the venue & also upstairs balcony seating which is awesome 👌. I had a lovely brunch & tea, great value too, then I visited the outside building to the toilets, & was wowed again greeted with a stunning water fountain on route. There are family cinema event's held here in a club details on FB, & also other outside event's are starting to be held here because of the warm ambience & spaciousness. Warm friendly staff everywhere, great customer service, ample various seating to suit one's taste, & highchairs too for younger people. All week daily opening times, I hope this will be here for many year's to come, it's great for the community 😀. My new favourite cafe in the area.

    A beautiful church now in use as a Bistro type venue. To begin; unless you know that it’s there you’d quite easily miss it, more signage wouldn’t go amiss to attract passing trade, and to confirm that it is actually open for food and drinks - I thought that I was walking into a church, which is of course, exactly what it once was. So look out for a big church in Bacup and you’ll find it. Once inside the venue you’ll find that it is kitted out with an eclectic array of furnishings, fixtures, and fittings, mixed together with many original features. After you find your table, of which there are many, you place your order at the counter, the staff then bring the order to your table. I was served by a pleasant young lady at the counter, an explanation from her of where the condiments etc were wouldn’t have gone amiss though. I had their big meaty breakfast with ‘cold baked beans’ I’m sure that they weren’t supposed to be cold, but they were! Had I been asked, I would’ve mentioned this at the time, but nobody came to enquire how the meal was. My wife chose the pizza margarita, which she said was ok. Now all was going well, until we noticed the disgusting filthy state of the chefs trousers. If you have an open kitchen policy, which is good, then please make sure that the staff representing you are of a smart, but most importantly, of a clean appearance. Your chefs trousers looked like they’d not been changed in days, if not weeks, there was certainly more than a mornings worth of grime/grease on them, they totally put us off what we were eating as they were disgusting and it begs the question of the chefs food hygiene standards. Summing up, it’s a good concept making use of a beautiful church building being used, rather than being left to neglect. However, would we go again? - NO. Sorry guys, but your hygiene standards need to be addressed - starting with you chefs attire. Especially now all eyes will be focused on him!

    Absolute gem of a place. This over the past year or so has become my go to place for meeting up with friends or the occasional date night! Lovely staff, lovely food, you can't go wrong. Good selections for breakfast/dinner and they now serve beyrut street food in the evenings. Finch bakery brownies on hand for dessert and a lovely building to spend your time in. Free parking at the side of the church and clean toilets just outside. Prices are great, I would recommend Pizza in the day or Protein Box at night!!

    This place is amazing. The venue, the fayre, the service all superb. When we walked in we were awestruck, it really has the wow factor. You could be anywhere in the world sat in this place. The music is chilled and not too loud and fits perfectly with the ambience. We had the Lebanese food, meat meze, breads and dips, delicious. Cocktails afterwards with an old coffin as a coffee table. It's the kind of place where you call in for food, eat, and stay. You seriously have to try this place, entrance is round the back, from the front it can look closed. Ignore the opening times Google have. Saturday they're serving food till 11pm. Definitely going to be a regular eatery for us. People of Rossendale, do not let this place close, use it, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

😠 However good it used to be, I now wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anybody. I took my wife for her birthday. We turned up early so sat at the bar tables and ordered some drinks after waiting for a waiter for 15 minutes. The drinks were made, placed on the bar where we just sat and watched them...

👍👍 A lovely cafe in pleasant surroundings. Built onto a church which now houses an antique shop. The waitress was knowledgeable about cross contamination regarding gluten free options. Most of the menu could be adapted to gluten free.
