We went there chiefly because of the food - Make No Bones closed and their team moved to become the in-house caterers at Church. Makes total sense. They get a new state of the art kitchen and much bigger space in a cool part of town (not that Meersbrook isn't cool) and can concentrate on what they do best, which is making amazing vegan food! All underwritten by Oli Sykes' millions. Ace!
The food was sublime, and we tried about half the menu! The beers were a fine selection, a little on the pricey side for out of town but hey ho (and they charge for soda water which nowhere else does).
The bar itself is an interesting space, all dark colours and with interesting mosaics and a spectacular ceiling mural.
Staff were dead friendly and chilled.
There was a match on - England v Sweden and though it was pretty busy and boisterous there were no twats, so a good place to watch the footy without wanting to murder people.
I'm told that it already gets very busy on a night so if you go for the food it's probably best to go during the day.
There's a full programme of stuff for Tramlines - not my kind of stuff but I'm hopeful they'll get some gigs on because it's a decent size and could potentially fill that gap between the smaller/DIY venues and the medium/larger places, like Leeds' Brudenell has done until recently.
There's also a riverside terrace which i haven't seen, apparently.
Will be going back very soon!
The Church is a great place. The minute you walk in you're trying to take it all in - the mosaics, pictures on the ceiling, the confessional, and many more. Nice, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Amazing food. Really worth a visit.
Came along during the day for the MNB food, and gave my muscle memory a spin on "House of the dead" while my food was being cooked!
Kid friendly, dog friendly with a great atmosphere. Good service, great range of drinks, amazing food. I doubted a place like this could exist! A real gem for Sheffield.
