This is a little gem, the most amazing dishes on the menu, the service and food impeccable. Thank you for another amazing visit for our Sunday lunch.
Tucked away on the Herefordshire, Adergavenny boarder is this lovely restaurant, were you can get to sample wonderful local food to a very high standard. We had the taster menu, seven courses of well executed food with an autumnal theme to them all. The service was excellent, nothing to much trouble. There was a good selection of wine, however I do like to see some local ones if possible, Radlow Hundred we stayed over night accommodation good, it is help yourself Breakfast but plenty of chose, not cooked, we had to be out by 9.30am, but it is family run so I can appreciate all hands to the pump. Over all I will be going back as I do love good food.
Had a lovely family Sunday lunch here. Food was good but the biggest positive was the amazing service. They took a lot of effort to take any and all dietary requirements into account and also to cater for young children. We had a combination of the roast and alacarte menu - generally everyone enjoyed their food! We also received lots of little palate cleansers in between all the food. Portions were also very generous :).
Visited recently for a birthday meal for my wife. I was particularly attracted to their attitude towards making children a meal they will like as it's often difficult to go for a nice meal and find something that the kids will also enjoy.
From the moment of arrival, Kate gave us a warm welcome at the door and made us feel very much at home. The location is quite a secluded old building, with a clean modern decor.
The food was outstanding. We ordered the Haddock and Gnocchi as well as Risotto for starters and then the steak and a trio of boar for mains. Everything was cooked perfectly and to a very high standard, with melt in the mouth meat. The children had chicken goujons with mash and vegetable which was presented very nicely and they said it was the next lunch they have ever had!
I'd highly recommend a visit here and we will certainly return again. You certainly won't be disappointed.
Even though we had to be seated outside I was a bit apprehensive because I hate being cold. The weather held off. The sun was shining. I took a blanket in case.
We were welcomed by Kate and shown to the table. Kate provided is with hot water bottles for our laps. It made it. The food was outstanding as always. They always pull that extra special thing out of the bag.
1861 is a great restaurant. It's in a peaceful countryside location within easy reach of Monmouth and Abergavenny. It is family run so really friendly and there is a great attention to detail that you don't get elsewhere. The food and service is amazing, literally can't fault anything. It's for a higher-end budget but absolutely worth the extra!
It's really Covid secure which puts everyone at ease and is genuinely one of the best restaurants in this part of Wales.
Had a great 2 day stay. Accommodation was wonderful, great hosts. Lovely meal on my birthday. Didn't want to leave. Can't wait to go back.. And the sun shone
Stunning food and the loveliest owners.
Nothing is too much trouble
Went to day to celebrate a birthday with friends. The meal was outstanding and the service too. It is set in the country side so you have lovely views. I would definitely recommend 1861 for a place to go for a meal it is pricey but well worth it. You are made very welcome.
Our first visit and have to say everything was perfect. Food was out of this world. Amazing menu to choose from. The room was stunning. Beautifully designed and set up. The pride and care that Simon and Kate have shows within every aspect of the restaurant and rooms. Mos Def coming back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
