Although its true origins are disputed and many lay claim to the idea, 1904 is recorded as the year the humble hamburger gained national recognition in America at the St. Louis Worlds Fair. Our menu is an ode to the trail blazing vendors whose steak patty sandwich revolutionised the food industry.

    Absolutely amazing experience at 1904. The venue was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and everything ran seamlessly. Our event was a huge success and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Highly recommended!

    200g sirloin was not the best quality. I asked for 1 medium and 1 medium to well. Both were well done and dry. Chocolate cake was excellent.
