1812 Lounge
As with the architecture of this historic building, 1812 mixes the important traditional elements with more contemporary themes. This flows through to the menus, offering old century established cocktails balanced with an excellent range of new century drinks. Head chef Francis Baumer describes his food as: “Classically British/French cuisine with modern twists: Fine dining in a brassiere style. Our food is full of flavour and uses as much local produce as possible. I am very proud of our achievements so far, but we are always looking to push forward and raise our standards”. To compliment the menu, new and old world wines stand shoulder to shoulder to offer customers the best possible choice.
