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.

Second meal here, once again the food was delicious and well presented. The service was very attentive. Only issue was that the cocktails took a bit longer than expected to arrive. Though the waiter did apologise. We will definitely be back.

Some of the best front-of-house staff I’ve seen in the UK. A nice blend of formality and humour between them. Food was, likewise, excellent with a good amount of variety packed into the menu. I will be recommending this to anyone.

Sadly lacked finesse particularly on the food service My starter was so salty I should have sent it back. They still charged me for it Waiters untrained and rushed us all evening Main course was very good however and saved the evening So sad really this restaurant could be great. Now it’s middle of the road

Imaginative menu and really well cooked and presented food. It felt like the chef took pride in what was being served. The time between courses was judged correctly, not too fast that we felt rushed, but not too slow that we felt that we'd been forgotten about.

Beautiful building, very cool in the heat which was most welcoming. Chairs are a tad low for the tables our waiter took our order, he was exceptionally quietly spoken but very polite, perhaps lingered just that two seconds too long to make it a little awkward. The amuse bouche was tasty whilst waiting for our starters. My partner chose the short rib croquettes for his starter which were too small and tasted mainly of fried oil, not good. I had the pate which was average and came with a ridiculously small cube of butter and not enough bread. It was tasty but nothing special. I had the belly pork which I really enjoyed, it was tender with a lovely rind of crackling. OH had the lamb rump which was tender, juicy and sweet. All came with dauphinoise potatoes and carrots and sugar snaps. The potato kind of got a bit lost in the dauphinoise as they were wafer thin slices, needed to be a little thicker. Puddings were very good. I had the baked Alaska which looked lovely and tasted pretty good. OH had the white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake which was scrumptious. It was good, but for £100, it should have been really memorable. I so want to be able to scream, yes, go there but sadly I can't. We will go again when their next menu comes out with the hope it will be really good.

Loved the food and service . The ethos of giving two thirds of the tips to local charities appealed to me. I just found the ambience poor due to the austerity of the decor. I sat upstairs staring at a air conditioning unit. It’s tricky because it’s a converted chapel and chapels are austere . For me it didn’t work. I’m glad I’ve been but I won’t be going back as the amount of money spent versus the whole experience equation didn’t balance . It brought home that it’s not just the food that counts. The apple tart tatin was delicious but a really small portion. I don’t like ice cream and I asked for some pouring cream instead which was given with no problem which was good. Sadly they had no Campari for my aperitif. The duck breast was beautifully tender , the vegetables well cooked . I found the duck skin too salty. I’m giving food details which aren’t perfect but I really enjoyed the food.
