    Lovely atmosphere in an old fire station. Great selection of food, with some vegetarian options if needed. Friendly staff. Good value. Extensive drinks selection. Sadly no coffee machine.

    Really nice venue, great old facade with beautiful structural timbers a feature inside. The renovation makes great use of the old fire station. The decor is nice however the upholstery is very tired and stained which is a little off putting for the price of the experience. The food is “fine”, simple though a little underwhelming. Good selection of wines and delicious spritzes. Service was good.

    The setting is great, service great. We were somewhat disappointed that there were only four choices of main meals and very under proportioned for value.
