Papillon Concerts 2025

This place had air of good readings so I was excited to try it, but I was really disappointed, I think it’s overpriced for mediocre food to be honest. You’re probably paying for the venue experience only. The ambience is decent given it’s a reformed church, but primarily if you can get a seat upstairs which was reserved for Christmas parties this time of year - we were seated in a dim area near an unused stage. Food sounds quality on the menu, but is really average. The best dishes were the onion rings and the garlic bread. My friend had a vegan Wellington that was a flat parcel with only beetroot in it. It was passable but not worth the £21 price tag. I had a pumpkin risotto, which I knew was going to be an experience when it didn’t even come in a bowl - stodgy rice and the added chicken was dry and charred, didn’t even eat it all. Also it was lauded as vegetarian but seemed to have real Parmesan, which has meat products?? The Turkey roast was nothing to write home about either sadly. We did all enjoy the fried Camembert, so it seems like this place’s strengths is in the standard pub fare and they have overreached trying to offer an elevated dining menu. Go for the burgers and fries and try to book outside the festive period and you might have a good time, I would not come back though.

We popped in here prior to the theatre. Friendly staff, quick service and a good chicken burger. No kids menu, but, we made a good meal for a5 year old from the side orders menu. Will visit again

Was disappointed with the cleanliness of the place. Table was shaking, cutlery on the table (not on a napkin or something), we’ve been positioned next to the stage and it was at the same level as the table (I could the hair and the dirty just as I was looking at my left, not very appealing). Food was good and staff were friendly. Even management were friendly with their email reply.

"Recently dined at Restaurant Papillon and had an exquisite experience! The fish and fries, paired with a refreshing coke, were simply divine. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the impeccable service made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving delicious food and a memorable dining experience!"😊🥰

Visited to watch some live music and thought it was a great venue. Being a church originally it has fantastic acoustics so we thoroughly enjoyed the night. Staff were friendly, didn't eat but the menu looks great so will be back to try the food!
