1858 Bar & Restaurant

Pub was quiet when arrived around lunchtime on Saturday. Quick and friendly service. Food was called pop up so not cooked on-site. Ordered chicken wings and chips. Food was very hot when it was delivered which was nice. Wings had lots of flavor. Will try again when back in town.

Cosy place, friendly staff, great chef who endeavours a lot in furnishing the dishes, good and delicious food. We took starters with mains and drinks including wild mushrooms, bacon with cooked apples, smoked haddock and panfried or roasted chicken, guinea beer and decaffe cappuccino. All are good.

Came across 1858 by chance on Tuesday 26th March and we are so glad we did, warm friendly welcome and a great music playlist, so onto the stunning well prepared food. We started with some Prosecco, then the Thai fish cakes which were so flavorsome and superbly presented, the Duck egg Scotch egg had the most amazing sausage meat with a crispy texture and a soft runny egg in the centre, hard to do properly but even harder to make it this good. Moving onto mains my wife had the Baked Cod Cassoulet with a huge piece of cod complimented with haricot beans and chorizo , I had the flat iron steak with french fries and a small mini pan of garlic butter. The food was from the two for £18 menu, and represented not only exceptional taste and quality but the value for money was terrific. We washed the food down with a glass of Pinot Grigio and an exceptional Argentine Malbec with the steak, the place still has a nice new feel to it and the high end glassware and cutlery certainly added to the effect, great service both from the young man and the young lady who were friendly and interested, the food arrived piping hot and on time. Given we are 140 miles round trip away we would not hesitate in visiting again and we cannot recommend this place highly enough, please give it a go , you wont be disappointed.

Lovely place, great decor and atmosphere, the lad who served us was really really nice and attentive, shout out to him, The food was outstanding !! Everything was brilliant, we had the fish cakes and duck scotch egg for starters and they were both flavourful and wonderful, we went both for burger after and it was so good… the fries, the meat, the Sun dried tomatoes and the bread, gosh 10/10!!!! Lovely lemon cheesecake for pudding Thank you!!

We heard of the good reviews for this place so decided to give a try ourself. We booked the table for 5 so they allocated us in the vault and it was beautiful, like we have private room just for us. We all ordered from Sunday lunch menu and we all agreed this' was the best so far for us. The foods looks beautiful and even better when it also super delicious!! Plus the portion is very generous. The service is warm,welcoming and friendly, ,especially Kim who looking after our table professionally and still friendly which not many places seem to have it now a day. We definitely going back again very soon.
