Was Richard Ford at Old Fire Engine House a mag?
The restaurant has a bar, two dining rooms with a kitchen in between, outside seating for those warmer days and a gallery. Artwork adorns the walls, and visitors will wander about the tables whilst you're having your meal. On the day of our visit, the radiators were on full blast, but it was a tad cool. A 2 or 3 course set menu is reasonably priced, available alongside a more varied menu of British classics. When was... View all feedback.

What Ian C dislikes about Old Fire Engine House:
Remined me of eating out in the 70s, and not in a good way. Maybe they had an off night, but I seriously don't see how they get 4-star reviews, let alone 5. Starters were ok, but only just. Pigeon main was awful. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 View all feedback.

What a jewellery! considering that it is done by a very small team of superwomen with only two chefs, it is noticeable how extensive and interesting the menu is. Eating is delicious, with a homemade feeling. it is more of a talented mum boil type of a place than a hipster deconstructed dish restaurant. very extensive wine list also. stunning garden. a must visit when they book in ely better before, although we had luck catching the last table as a walk.

A great place in ely. I felt instantly from friendly staff who sit in a beautiful table in the corner, I was so perfect on my own to get fucked away, but I had a good look at everything that went on to keep me occupied. the place is not what I would call instagrammble. they will not find young fashionable people here and it is better for it. it is beautifully decorated, crisp and fresh and feels inviting, more like visiting a friendly house than a stuffy restaurant. the visitors are here to enjoy their evenings with good food and friends, not to make pictures for likes. I enjoyed my bratpork with sweetness. very moist with a lot of crispy cracks. also the last of the heavy, which is always a care in the south. a nice choice. my chocolate mousse was amazing, hadn't had one since brunette. the charges too. with a beautiful coffee. the only thing we left was the starter. only a handful of pouched salad with some tiny pieces of goat cheese and two walnuts. there was a vague drizzling of an art dressing. certainly not worth the price, initially very leave. but everything else was wonderful, plus the suppenings I saw going into other tables looked out and tasted tasty. I must mention the break of the evening. I never felt rushed, everyone had a good break in between, but not as long as I wait. I hate these days, how everything is so eager, pure and out. it was nice to relax and enjoy my food and wine. thanks to many for a real culinary experience. Hopefully if I'm in the opposite I'll visit again and friends this time.

We had recently a high-time dinner for about 20 people, and the food and service was incredible. all in the old fire engine house were very welcoming and ensured that we were all supervised during the meal. the eating was exceptional and everyone was impressed by the local seasonal oriented (and the offers of seconds! . I also have eaten some paints here in the course of the years, and it can never disappoint.
