It's not really a church any more, it was deconsecrated years ago and is now a family home, but look for a church." Would it be more useful to tag it as building=church or building=house? Similarly, ask a child to draw a church. Or a house. Or even a supermarket. That's why I have strong doubts about building=gastronomic (or whatever it ends up being). I know what a church looks like. Ditto for supermarket, industrial unit, warehouse and house. I cannot bring to mind a typical restaurant architecture. -- Paul
