    We came for the 80th VE Celebrstions. It was for my birthday and when we got to our table, I had helium balloons and a bottle of prosecco. Such a lovely gesture. I was also given a birthday card too, which I thought was so wonderful and kind. Our food was lovely, but then I've never had a bad experience here. We have loved every visit. The staff are very friendly and always smiling. I would highly recommend 1867 to everyone.

    As is always the case the lovely team at 1867 provided excellent service and looked after us very well. The food was fresh, tasty and prepared just for us not pulled out the freezer. We took some VE cake home which was really delicious thank you. The place us always clean and looking pristine. I have been here many times and never ever had bad quality or service. It's a great place for couples to lunch, business people to get a meeting and lovers to meet in private. Enjoy because booking a table here leads to happiness and an old style version of perfect service. You will never be disappointed.

    John, thank you for such a lovely and generous review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your visit (and that the VE cake went home with you too). Your continued support and kind words about our crew and food really do mean a lot to us.

    We had booked a table and upon sitting there it was very draughty. We were very impressed that although we hadn't complained a member of staff came and offered us a warmer table which was very gratefully accepted. The food was excellent, tasty and hot too. This was our second visit in a month as we were so impressed by our first one

    Thank you, Sarah. We’re delighted you had another positive experience and that the food and the crew made a great impression once again. We’ll be ready to welcome you back whenever you visit next.

    We always try to pop in to have a light lunch lunch / coffee whilst visiting the Heart of the Shires. Booking advisable, as peak times are truly busy, but if you do chance a visit , they will call you when a table is free , so you can carry on shopping until, which is an excellent service. Everyone are polite and friendly, and the food is served without delay . Highly recommended visit and trip out . Finally you can ask for a quieter area , as they do have some larger tables at times ,so suitable for all needs .
    the 1867Responded 5 days ago
    Thanks so much, Kirsten. It’s always a pleasure having you visit while you’re at Heart of the Shires. We’re glad the booking system and crew have made your visits smooth and enjoyable we’ll see you again soon!
