1841 bar and restaurant

we have been regular diners at 1841 since the new ownership took over a year ago. noticeably, this place is beicoming busier no matter what day of the week. the menu offers a wide variety(although we have been through it in full!) and is very well priced. if you are after good pub grub at a great price this is the place. thestaffare very attentive, friendly and welcoming. i also come here with my girlfriends and feel safe and comfortable. perhaps adding a tasting platter of some sort may cater to the females a little more than the deep fried platter that i'm sure the lads love! overall great offering, service with a smile and a place that caters to the people! keep it up

good honest tasty food with generous portions, easily cater for large groups of diners. diner comes out in reasonable time considering the busy nite. thestaffare helpful and attentive and billing is very accurate.

we so looked forward to this night out as my husband and i where celebrating our 26yr wedding anniversary, only to be totally disappointed. it started really well,staffwhere very friendly. we ordered starters which where ok, then ordered our mains... that's when it all turned sour.

pork belly, it look as if it had been sitting under the heat lamp for so long that the reduction was reduced, no crackle at all as the apple sauce had totally soften it and the meat was so over cooked and salty we both couldn't eat it, coleslaw and mashed potatoes where terrible. the only reason i am giving you 1 point is due to my husbands steak being cooked amazing.

it also seemed that after our mains we became invisible to the staff, as my husband had ordered pudding which didn't arrive. in the end we got tired of waiting and went to pay the bill only to see that we were being charged for pudding? it had ended up on someone else's table apparently.

not a very good experience for us, and one we will not be repeating. i know i should have complained about the food, but due to my husband not wanting to make a fuss, i let him win this time round...

great service.staffare helpful and really friendly. place has a good vibe wether your having dinner or just out for a cheeky or 2. recommend this place to anyone who hasnt tried it.

the food from the bar is good but thats about it. environment is good butstaffservice is average at best. the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are very average for what you pay.

took my sister there for her 60th birthday tea. worst meal i've ever had. they couldn't get our order right. we are 4 adults and 3 kids and they served 2 of the kids meals and when we asked about the 3rd - opps it was on the other side of the docket.. not our fault. we waited 50 mins for our mains (we had been told there was a 30 min delay as they were busy). thankfully the kids were served promptly. we were on the verge of telling them to cancel the meals when when we got our mains turned up however only 2 of the 4 were correct. the other 2 we had to send back and they still didn't get it right. we gave up in the end and when the waiter came back to see if the meals were ok i said 'don't ask'. i did ask to speak to the chef but antoherstaffmember said she was in charge. i advised this was the worst meal i've ever had the steak we'd asked for to be medium with no pink, the first one was blue and when we sent it back the next one came back just as bad. we were advised that they cooked there steaks medium but still pink. this still had blood coming out of it. we did get that meal taken off the bill. but overall it was disgusting.  we've been here several times over the years but this is the worst we've ever encountered.

went for sunday lunch with family. was good as it has plenty of room, and with one a couple of elderly, one broken leg and one baby amongst the ten of us, we need a bit of space.

thestaffwere friendly , and made the group feel welcome. the food was basic pub grub - but good value.

we had a great time. thanks.

i ordered the fettuccine dish, was very nice...above average.i asked about the dessert special which was a white chocolate cheesecake...it was all sugar and lacked depth of flavour (very sugary)...below average.was there with a larger group for a club break-up adults and children alike.  the duty manager seemed overly concerned about the under age members of our group and even after we stipulated we're only here for dinner, he wanted to see id and ensure legal gaurdians were present etc etc.  not sure what the law is but if you have a large party and walk into say 'lonestar', i'm sure they're not going to single every single underaged person out even before sitting down right??other than the above issue, thestaffwere great!

simple tasty pub grub. not had dinner here but been many times for the $12 lunch dishes. standard fare - burger salad fish and chips etc.

friendlystaffand always quick service.

came here yesterday for meal & quiz night. the fish of the day (oven-baked gurnard, potato & sun-dried tomato bake, cucumber salsa, salad) was seriously tasty. i was chuffed about tabasco sauce being in the condiment box as i love to put hot-sauce on nearly everything! thestaffwho were working last night were extremely friendly and professional.

we ducked in for lunch one sunday while watching the warriors. my parnter brought the sirloin 400gm meal (medium rare)and i had the mushroom, blue cheese soup in a taco shell. i love mushrooms, blue cheese and tacos so it wasn't hard to please me! however the sirloin was more rare than medium rare! in fact in was practically jumping off the plate! i must admit it was a big chunk of beef so i can see how the middle of could have been just raw meat. i'd say another 30 seconds on the grill would have made it perfect! other than that, we had a nice time and thestaffwere friendly and helpful.

we recently held a combined 50th and 10th anniversary at 1841.
thestaffwere absolutely fantastic and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. with thestaffdoing all the hard work, we were left to tend to our guests and not worry about a thing.
the food was a fantastic price, tasted great and looked great!
thank you to all of the team at 1841 - we will definitely be holding another function there!
