Great food, exceptionally served in unique settings. That is what is at the heart of Restaurant 1840.



Set in one of Telford's oldest buildings, this 19th century former Methodist Church is unique. Locally sourced produce is freshly prepared by the team daily, and Jelly and the team would love for you to join them for a memorable eating experience.

    Lovely waiter and front of house. Cracking service and I had the fillet steak, it was delicious. The restaurant itself is a beautiful building and really worth checking out.

    Staff are attentive and friendly, from the fab welcome at the door to the service at the table. So as it was our first time visiting was a really nice addition. The venue itself was cold and this made it uncomfortable to sit and eat with and without a coat on. Totally understand it’s an old chapel with high ceilings but it really was very cold to sit and enjoy the experience that this venue has to offer. There was a long delay before food arrived - 90 mins- but this was dealt with professionally by our server upon our enquiry as to why. The food was superb tho so made up for the delay. One criticism we all commented on, was as the venue was cold the plates soon went cold and so did the food. Plates need to be warmer? This may of helped? Overall we would return as the food as I said was superb but it would be in the summer when the place would be a lot warmer! Or if the heating is altered to be sufficient for colder evenings.

    From the moment we walked in the door we were looked after, the restaurant has a lovely ambience, being an old Chapel, it had some of the original features. The staff were lovely and helpful. The food amazing.

    We had a nice meal and good service at 1840. We were seated upstairs, despite selecting the ground floor in the booking, so we didn't really get to experience the atmosphere of the methodist chapel. It was probably quieter upstairs but it was very warm. It's a steep staircase so beware if you have mobility issues. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his mushroom and goat's cheese starter, and while I enjoyed most of my starter (I'd have that crispy egg every day!) some of the gnocchi were dense and chewy. They served an appetiser before the starter and an amuse voucher before the main, the latter being a beetroot soup which would've been nice but was so salty I couldn't finish it. My main was also over-seasoned and the chicken was slightly overcooked, which was a shame as the vegetables and sauce were delicious. My husband loved his pheasant breast main. We were too full for dessert but the selection looked great. The food was very slow to arrive. We waited an age for the starter and I noticed we'd been there for an hour and a half before our mains arrived. I imagine that's the reason for the little mini dishes in between the courses. Some bread for the table might have helped while we were waiting. Overall we did enjoy the evening and it was very good value at only £70 in total including drinks. Clearly there was potential for it to have been really fabulous, but it just wasn't quite there for us that night.

    Four of us enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Nicely welcomed on arrival and our waitress showed us to our spacious table. Food choice was good, not as generic as cheaper establishments, and we all enjoyed it - clean plates all round! Service was attentive but not intrusive. It was a bit noisy at times making conversation a little difficult occasionally, but overall an excellent venue and we look forward to returning.

    Friendly, welcoming, professional staff, a good varied menu with vegetarian and vegan choices. The quality of the food was excellent! It’s a really nice environment too, especially the upstairs seating area. Not the cheapest by any means, but I’m always happy to pay for good quality. Recommended by me.
