The Fire Station is one of my favourite restaurants in London, food is outstanding, especially the duck pancake roll for starter. The restaurant is lively so no chance of a quiet romantic meal, but the atmosphere and friendly staff make this top restaurant well worth a visit.

Came back to have a go on the new autumn menu. It's better than the summer one, generous lamb shank with mashed potato was to die for. The stuffed pumpkin really is a sight to behold too, a show stopper, never thought I'd hear myself say that about a vegetarian dish!!

Well worth a visit this place. Good fresh food, great value for money lunch and pre-theatre menus with a more aspirational and imaginative a la carte menu of British and Mediteranean food available too.

The wine range at The Fire Station is exceptional for such a wonderfully informal venue, there's cask ale and cocktails to boot and its atmosphere is great with a constantly busy bar to weave through on your way to the restaurant.

Great to see The Fire Station getting back to its best. The bar is bustling and vibrant, they've added a range of cocktails since refurbishing six months ago and they've still got tons of great draught beer and guest ales.



I had a really good quality feed too, not overpriced for the area and the fillet of beef was perfectly cooked. Loved the freshly baked bread - proof that they are bringing back some nice touches. Staff were friendly without being overbearing and had a cracking bottle of Merlot to wash it all down with. Well done to the new look Fire Station!

I recently went to the Fire Station with a group of friends to eat in the restaurant for a pre-theatre meal and was pleasantly surprised. The Fire Station restaurant is nicely decorated and welcoming and the staff are friendly. Our group all had the duck spring rolls and beef carpachio to start with, both of which were fresh and nicely presented which was a good start to the meal.


To follow I had the sashimi spiced tuna with oriental noodles. The tuna was perfectly cooked - pink in the middle, succulent and juicy. My friends tried the thyme and lemon stuffed pork belly and the pot roasted lamb and were equally impressed. The deserts were also good. We shared a blueberry cheescake and a lemon tart both of which were a nice end to the meal.

The Fire Station is a truly terrible experience at a ridiculous price for the food and service. The food was insipid and overpriced. Service was useless and unhelpful and the service charge was offensive given the useless service.

The Fire Station stank of cigarettes and stale alcohol. Not to be repeated.

My family and I dined at the Fire Station on Easter Monday and it was, to put it mildly, a truly terrible experience. We should have been warned when a family next to us began shouting at a waitress then walked out, leaving their food barely touched. When our food came, the Mezze had off, bubbling chopped cucumber, a tired old tomato and yellowing feta cheese. My wife's fishcake had the hard core of an onion and a dry lemon as its relish and my son's sausages were both horrible. We thought about being terribly British and not complaining but then, the quite dear prices got to us and so we complained but the waitress just smiled. Never again! I wouldn't try to poison my worst enemy there.
