The Waterloo Fire Station
150 Waterloo Road, London, SE1 8SB
Behind the permanently packed bar at the Fire Station you'll find their restaurant. There are high ceilings, splashes of red paint and touches of memorabilia from the original fire station without pushing the theme too far. The open plan kitchen serves a menu that changes daily but you can expect to find dishes such as fishcakes, seared tuna and braised shank of lamb. Portions are more than generous and the service is friendly. Reviewed by Linda ButtleGastropub, International, Modern European

REVIEWS OF The Waterloo Fire Station
Amy Tanell (15 September 2008)
We were rather disappointed with the service there. We sat in the restaurant area waiting for someone to come and take our order. No one came and there didn't appear to be any staff covering the area. It was 1pm and strange to find somewhere that ignored tables during the lunch period. Eventually we gave up and went to the bar seating area and ordered at the bar instead. After a long wait we received tasteless and undercooked meat in minimalist style portions. No one came to clear our table of the empty glasses. For the money you pay you can definitely get better elsewhere.
Elena (30 January 2008)
We went to the Fire Station feeling a bit apprehensive after reading some bad reviews. But was very pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed a beer in the lively bar area first, and then moved to the quieter restaurant. Friendly, prompt service from staff - two out of three main courses were excellent. The fish tasted very good but the rib-eye steak was not great. All three desserts were excellent with good portions all around. The wine was very quaffable - including a delicious South African dessert wine. Good value for money, considering the location. I will go back.
