Inspired by 19th Century gothic revival the building, completed in 1897, was the Chapel of the Priory dedicated to our Lady of Good Counsel and founded by the English Convent at Bruges in 1886.

Careful conversion has ensured that the restaurant, on the first floor, has lost none of the regal splendour of the original chapel.

Beautifully carved original bosses adorn the front of the serving area. Around the restaurant are magnificant stained glass windows designed and painted by Nathaniel Westlake (1883-1921) who was responsible for many windows, including some in St Paul's Cathedral.

Set in finely detailed panels behind the carvery are the paintings that used to lie below the Reredos above the altar. The mural is a traditional Catholic scene called 'Christ In Majesty'.
