We were eating early to prepare for the main event which was lily Allen at the BIC. The 1812 is handily opposite the BIC and so an excellent meal preceded a fantastic concert. The meal was excellent and I can thoroughly recommend the tempura prawns which were in the most delicate soda water batter and a lovely chilli dip to... more

We went to 1812 on a Saturday evening for dinner whist visiting Bournemouth for the week-end. We absolutely loved it! We are fortunate enough to have been to some very nice restaurants over the years and the food here is on a par with some one Michelin starred restaurants we've been to, particularly the starters and mains.

Very helpful staff...we wanted a quick turnaround due to theatre timing as we left it a bit late. Food good and nicely presented. Told you won't need to order side vegabables as ''it comes as a complete main course meal' which would be OK only if you had a small appetite.

I would definitely eat here again. The food was superb. My husband said it was the best lamb he had ever had! The waiter was really lovely (don't know his name - lots of dark curly hair!). The shortbread biscuits with the vanilla creme brulee were out of this world! Nice atmosphere - and not too pricey for the quality. more

It was a Saturday night so was a bit frenetic but we enjoyed it.The complimentary bread and olives were very nice We had the chicken which was a bit ordinary and a tiddy portion but the sticky toffee was good and the wine palatable. Service charming and the group above average. Don't let my headline put you off! more
