Restaurant 1840

Just WOW!!
Our first visit for our anniversary and we were greeted by lovely staff and shown to a table upstairs with a lovely view overlooking the restaurant. The food was stunning, not one criticism at all! It's so nice to have more interesting menu options like venison, pigeon and pheasant. We were offered complimentary tasters between courses which was a lovely addition. The staff were very attentive and timings were spot on. I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!

This was our first time at this restaurant, valentines/ anniversary and it was delightful 😊 The food was well cooked, interesting and well thought out. The waiting staff were considerate and well mannered. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wow! Just wow!
Came here for our 24th wedding anniversary!

The food was exquisite. The chef is very talented. And the mum (front of house) was absolutely lovely.

The atmosphere was great, and the establishment was beautiful and very clean!!

The service was fantastic second time none! Grace and Josh was the servers they was very professional and nothing was to much trouble. The prices were extremely reasonable for the quality of food.

Will definitely be back with friends. And will recommend to everyone!

Thank you for a lovely evening x

It was our second time here this evening, the staff are lovely, nothing is to much bother, so polite and kind. Andrea and young waiter Josh are fantastic. The first time we come, my partner due to injury had no use to one hand, the chef was so kind to cut his meal up but yet still beautifuly presented. The food is here is outstanding, if you want a treat to fine dining, this is your place. A beautiful unique building with a good chilled atmosphere. A great touch with a black and white film playing in the background.Can not rate you enough, thank you!

Original place to eat, good service, good food, good variety, I will recommend to my friends, it's a place for special events, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. small place but warm environment.

Have been promising a visit here for ever and it didn't disappoint. From the warm welcome when I arrived the great service from Jack and the food was fabulous. All the diners last night were first timers hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. Our first time will definitely not be our last

Lovely experience, great food and excellent service!

Excellent food and service in a lovely setting- we would highly recommended and we can’t wait to return!

Great night out, excellent service staff very friendly, food was excellent definitely go again.

What a find! Visited 1840 last night and had a fabulous experience. Attentive staff and gorgeous food in a unique setting. Would definitely recommend.

Cosy little set up with the most welcoming staff! Would highly recommend.

The steak is the perfect size and just melts in your mouth 🤤

Went for anniversary meal, all staff friendly and obliging. Meal choices good. We had the pork belly and chicken parfait starters. Delicious and not too filling so we could enjoy our mains and finish them with out feeling too full. Mains we went off the specials menu. Was beef slow cooked and was delicious, large portion of beef. Didn't have room for dessert. Loved the building and what they have done to it. Looking forward to going back.

Staff very friendly and helpful, especially our waitress Molly. Food was excellent was served promptly.

My wife and I loved our three course meal at 1840 restaurant. The venue has been beautifully restored, the service was faultless and the food delicious.
We're looking forward to our next visit.

Was brought here for a birthday surprise by my partner. Lovely atmosphere, unique decor, great food & service. Will definitely come back again.

Fantastic meal in unique surroundings. Staff very polite and friendly. Best cheeseboard we’ve ever seen. All delicious. We shall be returning definitely.

Amazing food, and incredible service packaged in a truly lovely venue. My wife and I shared the Chateaubriand beef fillet platter and let me tell you: it is steak to die for. I would really love to know how they get their potato dauphinoise sooooo consistently layered so as to get that creamy, nutmeg-y(?) goodness in every bite!

Beautiful food served by great staff. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely go again

From the moment we stepped in, we were made to feel very welcome and instantly relaxed.A restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and feeling.
All complimented with excellent service and outstanding food.Every course we ate was perfect .
Well done to all the staff.The chef deserves a special mention for outstanding plates of food.

Many thanks for making our evening special.

My wife and I went to Restaurant 1840 , at Stirchley , for the first time on the night of Tuesday 12 September 2023 to have a birthday celebration meal. It is in an old , rennovated Chapel building , built in 1840 , hence the name. We were very impressed by the quality of the food and the caring service from Alison , Molly and Grace . We can highly recommend the Restaurant 1840 and although they are regularly booked out later in the week they are now opening on Tuesday and Wednesdays with spaces still available .

The Restaurant 1840 has a well laid out small tarmacadam , flat, car park to the left of the building on a slight slope. It has a glass entrance porch with a large main dining area and kitchen on the ground floor with a smaller balcony area above the kitchen . We had a table upstairs and were amazed by the number of times that the staff climbed the stairs to come and service our needs , always smiling. The toilets are at the far side of the kitchen - through a very low stone arch ( duck ! ) with a unisex and disabled toilet available.

My wife had a lovely fillet steak whilst I had a Pork Belly with cherry sauce ( containing nearly an orchard load of cherries) . Our sweets were another fantastic experience with my Rhubarb Panna Cota and my wife had a Chocolate ball , on a strawberry, in glass with hot caramel sauce poured over it .

Do be aware that the menu is much more extensive than the one on the website and has some wonderful taste experiences. We do intend to revisit this superb restaurant now we have discovered it !
