The beautifully arranged room, prompt service, and delicious food all contributed to a wonderful afternoon. The staff's warm welcome, helpfulness, and attentiveness truly impressed us. Highly recommended – we'll be back! ”

“ We held our wedding at The 1885 on the August bank holiday and WOW what a perfect day it was. From our initial discussion through to the day after our wedding both Victoria & Matthew were absolutely fantastic. They genuinely care for their customers and wanted our day to be as amazing as we did. They were attentive throughout and nothing was too much to ask, they made us feel comfortable and confident in the run up to our day and it was all completely stress free. The staff were brilliant during our day and the food stole the show - our guests said it was like eating in a fine dining restaurant! We can't thank Matthew, Victoria and the team enough for making our day as special as we wanted and for going above and beyond. ”
