Wetherspoons The Old Chapel - Darwen

I visited during my trip to Darwen, and I was truly impressed by this stunning building! The renovation work is exceptional, showcasing the beauty of both the exterior and interior. It doesn’t feel like an old chapel; instead, it has more of a library ambiance, particularly on the upper floor where the kitchen and additional seating areas are located. In front of the magnificent stained glass windows, there are artworks and paintings that enhance the character of this historic venue. Although I haven't dined here yet, I can say that the hot chocolate was delightful. The space is quite open, with plenty of tables and comfortable couches. Parking is limited to a few spots outside, so finding a space can be a bit tricky. Overall, it was a lovely visit, and I would definitely recommend it!

The restaurant features a spacious two-story layout with a large room. It offers 12 hand-pulled beers and serves 8 different real ales, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The service is commendable, and the staff are friendly.
