“Well, what a little hidden gem Cafe 1850 is! Nestled away in the grounds of Northampton’s Catholic cathedral, it was quite the surprise. For a small place it’s very modern, light and fresh, and the staff are absolutely brilliant – super-polite, welcoming and delivered a great service. The food was really decent too! I had a tuna melt and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
