From 1885 the Restaurant to 1885 the Pub to 1885 Guest Rooms I am delighted to introduce to you 1885 the Function House. Overlooking the idyllic Pennine hills, 1885 the Function House lies in elegant seclusion amidst its rustic surroundings. The family run venue is sophisticated but unassuming, with a relaxed and informal ambience, a warm and personal service, and consistently fabulous food. Being a small family run business allows us to offer you a personal service from booking through to the day itself. As we only host one event at a time 1885 offers you your own exclusive venue!

1885 the Function House offers bespoke functions for all budgets and needs. Great pride is taken in sourcing the very best fresh seasonal ingredients to create menus buzzing with bold ideas, with dishes elegantly presented and precisely balanced in texture and taste. The resulting cuisine finds equilibrium in an amalgamation of the modern and the traditional, the English and the continental, the basic and the intricate. Our Chefs are committed to creating a menu that is unique to you from fish and chips to frogs legs to foie gras in our own distinctive 1885 style.

Providing a full event management service with expert advice ensures a stress free experience and that every aspect of your function is a success whether it’s an intimate occasion with family and friends, a wedding, celebration or corporate event.

At 1885 the Function House there are no rules, set numbers or required packages. This is your event and your choice - our job is to translate your ideas into a reality.
