Cocktails are awesome in here, they have bar tender (cocktail making) competitions annually at 1812 and it shows. Had a live band on when we were there which was also pretty cool, there's plenty of space and room to sit and chat or stand and dance. More

Modern, chic interior, reminisent of a trendy Soho bar/club-come-restaurant nightspot. I had the Beef Wellington followed by a Chocolate Fondant, traditionally both very difficult dishes to pull off... and they were absolutely spot on, faultless! The staff were great too, helpful but not overbearing. Great place for a special occasion, definitely won't disappoint. More

A very modern bar located close to the centre of town. The staff were frendly and there was a good atmosphere - having security on the door helps. The cocktail menu was fantasic, although quote pricey for the amount of drink you actually get - E.G £6.50 for a small cocktail glass manhatten. Would reccomend and return. More

Visited 1812 on the back of the reviews on this site. Really happy we went. Nice bar area with very knowledgeable staff, before we went to the restaurant. Lovely setting, attentive staff and good menu. The food was really good, reasonably quick to be served and hot! Highly recommended. More

HI - this review is with regard to the bar rather than the restaurant. We have visited a few time and always found the bar staff to be the most knowledgable we have ever come across about the drinks they have on offer. Whether this is around particular cocktails o the different flavours of various brands of spirits - they... More

When I checked out their website I was amazed to see that on a Mon-Weds cocktails were half price between 5-7 and we could also eat a 3 course meal for £12... More

We've now eaten the 3-course (£12) set menu on two occasions. The food is generally pretty good and well presented. (Probably on a par with M&S Dine in for 2 for £10.) We had bread and olives as an extra -the olives were marinated in fresh ginger, lemon, herbs, olive oil and honey and are well worth the extra! For... More

We were left sitting for 15 minutes before our drinks and food order was taken Thirty minutes later our starters arrived and it was almost ten o’clock when our main course was served. The... More
