Our first time here today. We had the pick of spots to sit as it wasn’t busy. Service was prompt & polite. It’s very cosy inside. On a super cold day it would be delicious with the heater roaring. We started with a chai latte & decaf latte, both on Milk Lab almond milk. The chai was great but alas the decaf latte was sour & had split - something I’ve not ever experienced with Milk Lab. It wasn’t drinkable unfortunately. The food on the other hand was really lovely. We enjoyed the trout omelette & the corn fritters, adding the thyme hash as side to both. Could not fault the meals. Fritters often run the risk of being a very dry dish - but this was balanced well with the romesco sauce, a poached egg & avocado. Would definitely return based on food alone. Hoping next time they can turn it around in the coffee department.

We had visited Chaplains Office on a lovely summer day and here’s a recollection of the experience we had!
Coconut yoghurt breakfast bowl - mango purée, pistachio granola and fresh fruits! This was actually better than I expected (mainly because I’m after heavy meals)! The sweetness of the granola and mango purée went really well with the sourness of the yoghurt and the freshness of the fruits! It was like having a yummy cereal but in this form!
Sambal pork belly & fried egg - twice cooked pork belly with chili and coconut, shallot and kaffir lime sambal, fried egg and spring Asian greens! Now this was quite an interesting dish as I have never seen anything quite like it before! The pork belly was tender and juicy and the sambal added that extra special kick and spiciness to this! The fried egg and Asian greens were good sides that complemented the pork belly!
Peach Melba hotcakes - ricotta and raspberry hotcakes, peach, fresh raspberry, vanilla mascarpone and caramelized white chocolate! Not only did this look pretty but it tasted absolutely exceptional and here’s why! The hotcakes were thick, soft and fluffy! I took a while with the pictures but it was still moist and fluffy (it did not dry out)! The hotcakes were not overly sweet and the elements all worked out so well that made me devour it quickly! For this reasons, it was my fave for the day!
We had a wonderful time at Chaplains Office and would love to visit again for the hotcakes and their other dishes! 😁
Delicious eggs, fantastic potato hash. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Great little space and off the main road so not as busy. Friendly staff which is always a bonus
