I stayed at 1885 in Stainland for a week. The room was warm and spacious. It felt like being in a 4 star hotel. The restaurant offers a good choice of food. I tried a different main course every evening and I have to say the portions were yummy and quite big. The stake is delicious and the wine was excellent. Nathan was a very polite and welcoming host. The original building was built in 1885 and one could feel it's presence in some of the décor in the restaurant. I enjoyed every minute of my stay.

Absolutely outstanding experience at 1885 Pub & Restaurant in Stainland, Halifax! From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm, they made us feel right at home. The pub food is a cut above the rest—hearty, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. Whether you’re in for a relaxed pint and pie or something more refined, you’ll be seriously impressed. But the real showstopper is the taster menu in the restaurant. Each course was a revelation—beautifully presented, creatively crafted, and absolutely bursting with flavour. It’s the kind of meal you talk about for days afterwards. A hidden gem that’s punching well above its weight—1885 is a must-visit. Also we have to mention our fantastic stay at the 1885 Hotel—a true hidden gem in Stainland. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. The rooms are spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable, with plush beds and thoughtful touches that make you feel right at home. What really sets this place apart is the service—warm, professional, and genuinely caring. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with all the comforts of a high-end hotel and the friendliness of a family-run inn, 1885 Hotel is an absolute winner. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Was a lovely clean , welcoming place. We stayed over for a night as it was close to an event we were attending. The hotel room was exceptionally clean and had everything we required. Food in the restaurant was lovely too.

Pub is nice and cosy. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is generally of a good standard. Unfortunately my salmon and prawn noodle dish was overpoweringly salty and didn't have much other flavour which was disappointing. Visually it looked nice and the ingredients were spot on but definitely overseasoned. The bacon and brie sandwich however was very nice with great accompaniments and my daughter really enjoyed it.

We had the most delicious breakfast this morning at 1885. The presentation and quality were very evident. Matthew and his staff we delightfully accommodating and very pleasant. The new restaurant and function room are a wonderful place to spend time. I would highly recommend anyone to experience 1885 pub or restaurant as we have spent many hours enjoying the wonderful place.

Had a great breakfast here just over a week ago before a trip down to Warwick. All the food was well cooked and portions were large. Lovely service from the young lady on duty. Smart, clean surroundings made it a pleasure to eat here.
