Party · 50 guests · February 2026
We hired out the Fire Station for a joint birthday event for ~ 50 people. The venue was perfect! A good mix of a lively atmosphere but not too loud where you can’t hear someone close by. The area we had booked was a great size, nicely cordoned off but still close enough that you felt like you were part of the main venue. Photo Booth was a great touch. Also the DJ coming on later in the evening was unexpected but a fantastic addition. The organisers were prompt with responding when arranging. We paid a small amount as a deposit to secure the venue, this was then returned to us as a bar tab during the evening with no issues. Overall a fantastic experience which made for an excellent birthday celebration - thank you!!

Pub · 30 guests · January 2026
We had an absolutely incredible night celebrating my partner’s 30th birthday! With a group of 30 people, we couldn’t have asked for better service. Everything was so well organised and we were looked after brilliantly from start to finish. Teo and Laura were outstanding hosts and made sure everything ran smoothly all night. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the DJ and photo booth were such a fun bonus. Having our own sectioned-off space away from the rest of the pub was perfect and made the night feel extra special. Every member of staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was an unforgettable night and exceeded all expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue and would absolutely come back again. Thank you so much for such a brilliant celebration!
Nothing, it was a brilliant night.

Space was ready for us and clearly separated so we didn't have to worry about there being confusion with others. Drinks were ready and they were so fast at bringing more when we ordered.

About The Fire Station

The Fire Station is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The fire station has been a Waterloo landmark for over a century.
Heroes once walked these floors, so we serve up gutsy food and drink worthy of our local legends.

Our big, bold burgers begin with a double patty of honest basics like chuck, brisket and dry-aged flank.
Then we pile ‘em high with tasty add-ons, including beer braised onions, burger sauce and double cheese.

And then there’s the pizza. Hand pressed and made to order, our bases are loaded with toppings that run from the classic to the unconventional. And while our secret sauce is pretty stunning, it’s our pizza oven that makes every slice a cut above.

Our bartenders love their craft, so we challenged them to get creative with our drinks list.
The result is an inspired mix of quirky cocktails, home-smoked spirits and the best fizz, wine and beer from around the corner and around the world. We’ve also teamed up with caravan coffee so your daily fix is lovingly brewed using small batches of ethically sourced 100% arabica beans.

So whether you’re up for a round after work or winding down at the weekend, we keep things simple but surprising.
