In all outward appearances, St. Columba’s in Bradford is an ordinary traditional Church. In fact, in the pop of a cork, the nave of the Church can be turned into a first class Restaurant.

St. Columba’s-The Restaurant in the Church was born after staff hit on the idea of using the skills of people the church were training for careers in catering, to help raise money for it’s work in the community.

The restaurant is capable of seating up to 80 for a formal 5 course silver service meal, or 100 for an informal buffet, with all food freshly prepared in the adjacent kitchen by trained staff.

To complement the meals the Restaurant has licence to serve spirits, along with wine and beer.

St. Columba’s can cater for a variety of occasions from Workshops and Seminars, to Birthday and Christmas parties. The facilities on offer include Conference Rooms, Syndicate Rooms, a Seminar Room, a Creche, Baby Changing Room, toilet facilities with wheelchair access, and of course the Church itself and a Chapel.
