About Our Restaurant
As our name suggests, we are in The Old Fire Station, which is situated just behind the Athenaeum in The Close. As an independent restaurant, we strive to offer an exceptional experience. Our main attraction is the fabulous wood-fired oven, which we use extensively for most dishes, not just pizza, with all food prepared and cooked fresh to order.
Open Tuesday through Saturday, from 5 pm to 10 pm and on Saturday afternoon 11am to 3pm We are fully licensed and offer a great selection of local beers, cider, and fine wines. Our establishment is warm and welcoming, and everyone is made to feel at home. In addition, we are available for private functions and parties.
Our space has a welcoming and fresh vibe, with an old fire station theme. The walls are adorned with history and a few other fire items, including helmets, hoses, and a few sets of fire engine ladders spanning from vintage to modern. If you haven’t tried us yet, come and see what you’re missing! For regular updates, find us on Facebook.

opening hours
We can open outside these hours for private functions and parties. If you’re attending a show at the Athenaeum and require an earlier booking, please let us know. We’ll do our best to open the doors earlier, if possible.
Due to high demand, we recommend booking your table in advance. Although we’ll always try to accommodate late bookings or walk-ins, please note that unless booked in advance, the last food orders are at 2.15 PM for daytime and 9 PM for evening.
group bookings & exclusive hire
The Old Fire Station can accommodate larger group bookings (50 pers max) on any day or evening subject to availability, from £25 per person. Beverages are usually charge separate although this can be factored in.
We can also offer the premises on an exclusive use basis, whether for a family or business event. This can take place out with normal opening ours. Exclusive use during our normal business hours is based on a minimum number of 40 persons.
For further information, please contact us with your preferred date and numbers. We will then contact you with an outline quote.
