Appetiser was better than the main course, which was a little disappointing. Crab was tasteless and sweet and sour pork tough. However, the service was GREAT....

The food is beyond compare; only gripe being no draught lager and only piddly little 330cl bottles of beer/cider on offer. Give us pints in nice cold glasses and it would be perfect!

The best chinese food around, our favourite place. Was a little noisy on this occasion, and slower service than usual, but the food can't be beaten. Shame it's not slightly cheaper else we'd be there every week !

It all started so well. Warm welcome. Beautiful surroundings. Good food. But at the end of the meal we were ignored. No one cleaned the table. No offer of dessert menu. We were abandoned. Having to look around for staff, it got too late so we asked for the bill. It came and then more looking around, flagging down staff to bring a card machine. With a big reminder to pay service. Which I did. But guys, earn your service. Ignoring your customers is the worst thing a restaurant can do.

The food is good, though not excellent, and it's overpriced for the portion sizes. Two of our three main dishes came with mushrooms that were not stated on the menu; we wouldn't have minded if it had been just a few but the mushrooms made up about a third of each dish so a large proportion we, as non-mushroom-eaters, were unable to eat. The staff did not seem particularly concerned when we reported this; they suggested we should have sent the dishes back but this seems like an extreme reaction, not something I would consider doing unless I were unable to eat any of the dish. We may have ordered a dessert if we hadn't been abandoned for 25 minutes once they cleared our plates away. I probably won't be going back, but if I do I'll be sure to ask if my chosen dishes can have the mushrooms omitted.

services good, nice restaurant, bar and toilets. Booking at 8.30pm and after discussing and deciding what to eat because of food allergies it took a little longer than usual to choose. Not alot of atmosphere in restaurant with no music (unless it was on low sound) and just the sound of people talking. Felt rushed as we were still eating starters when the duck and pancakes came out. Table was being cleared as we were finishing our mains course. As soon as we had finished eating we were given the bill and 5 minutes later they came around for payment even though 10 minutes earlier we had just got another £38.00 bottle of wine. Toilet doors were open and no lights on in then as it was clearly them saying its time to go. It was 11pm. Would not return although food was good but food and drinks expensive and with being rushed. Staff were good.

I was charged £170 for four drinks and a set menu of £38 each ( 2 of us ). They changed the prices of the set menu on the day. Then was clearly told I’d been had.

We visited 1805 on my son's recommendation for our colleagues' 60th Birthday celebration. On entering the restaurant, it felt lovely, warm, and welcoming. We were greeted, and our coats were taken to hang. A nice touch. We all had our own personal starters, prawn toast, shredded chicken and vegan duck pancakes which were all flavoursome & scrumptious, followed by a rice, chicken wok noodles sweet & sour chicken and beautiful wok beef in a divine sauce and was enough for us 3 to share. On finishing the lovely staff brought over a piece of lemon cheesecake, complete with candle and a song! for our 60th birthday friend! Which was such a lovely thing to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and everything was perfect! Thank you
