What a gem of a place! Considering it’s run by a very small team of superwomen - with just two cooks - it’s mindblowing how extensive and interesting the menu is. Food is delicious, with a homemade feel. It’s more of a Talented Mum’s Cooking type of a place than a hipster-deconstructed-dishes restaurant. Very extensive wine list, too. Stunning garden. A must visit if you’re in Ely - better book ahead, although we were lucky to catch the last table as a walk-in.
I used to come to the old fire engine house with my work mates when I worked in Waterbeach. That was 7 years ago. I can say that after this time it is still retaining its charm and cozy with the food feeling homemade. The staff are very friendly even though they were running around like headless chickens we came the weekend before Christmas. And of course the building structure remains as it was which makes it even more charming. I came with a couple of Slovenians dubious of British cuisine and I am glad to say that they thoroughly enjoyed it Ely has a lot of charm despite being such a small town and The Old Fire Engine House is definitely one of the main reasons.
Delightful place in Ely. I felt immediately welcomd by friendly staff that seated me in a nice table in the corner, I was on my own so perfect for being tucked away but I had a good view of everything going on to keep me occupied. The place isn't what I'd call 'instagrammble'. You won't find any young fashionable people here and it's all the better for it. It's nicely decorated, crisp and fresh and feels welcoming, more like visiting a friends house than a stuffy restaurant. The people visiting are here to enjoy their evenings with good food and friends, not take pictures for likes. I really enjoyed my roast pork with veggies. Very moist with plenty of crispy crackling. Loads of gravy too which is always a worry in the south. Wine selection lovely. My chocolate mousse was amazing, not had one like that since Bruges. Loads of it too. Washed down with a nice coffee. The only let down was the starter. Just a handful of bagged salad with some tiny bits of goats cheese and two walnuts. There was a vague drizzling of some kind of dressing. Certainly not worth the price, initially very let down. But everything else was marvelous, plus the soups I saw going out to other tables looked and smelt tasty. I need to mention the pacing of the evening. I never felt rushed, every course had a good break in between, but not so long I was waiting. I hate these days how everything is so rushed, in and out. It was nice to be able to relax and savour my food and wine. Thank you for a proper dining experience. Hopefully when I'm in the area I'll visit again and this time with friends.
Really friendly and they allow dogs in the bar section, just make sure you mention when you book. Food was delicious and the bread to start with was absolutely delicious. Desert was well worth it as well. Would go back sometime for sure. Food: 5/5
Quite literally one of my favourite restaurants in the world – I’d give it a 6/5 if I could. Their dishes are generally quite simple and absolutely delicious, which highlights the quality and freshness of their seasonal ingredients. I didn’t think I liked horseradish until I tried theirs, and I still dream of their trifle. The house itself is just so beautiful; in the cold season you might sit by the fire, and when it’s warm outside you can sit in the garden for tea. Great, friendly, expert service. And they offer second helpings!
We had a special meal with our family at The Old Fire Engine House to celebrate our wedding and it was the perfect setting. There were 19 of us and we booked to use their private dining space which was able to accommodate us all around one large table, creating a lovely cosy and intimate get together atmosphere. The food was delicious, it had a real homecooked feel with generous portions and the menu choices had all been so tempting it made deciding hard! The team were very friendly and welcoming, attentive, and the whole venue had a lovely atmosphere. The handmade peppermint creams served alongside the tea and coffee were so moreish! Thank you for a brilliant 2 course lunch, we'll definitely be back : Vegetarian options: Great selection of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.
Lunch on 14/1/23 was yet another triumph! The choice and quality of the food was excellent and the service exemplary. This restaurant is highly unusual in combining history with charm and most welcome eccentricity in a world of dull uniformity and so-so food. Service was very busy but standards did not fall, creating a most enjoyable atmosphere and ambiance. Already look forward to our next visit very soon. Ideal for couples and unreservedly recommended! Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian options, including a moussaka which looked delicious. Parking: There is plenty of free parking locally - literally minutes away and long stay parking a short and easy walk. Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious and helpful. No-one with a disability needs to struggle
Amazing food, waitress was really nice, super attentive and friendly. We loved looking at the art and having a coffee upstairs after eating. The fire is very nice too. Food was outstanding.Food: 5/5
This is a charming place with a very traditional hand written! menu. Food was very good, especially the fish which was excellently cooked. Lots of art on the walls that proved to be a great conversation piece. It was delightfully eccentric with oodles of character.
Love this restaurant Very unpretentious beautifully cooked slightly old fashioned in a good way dishes served by a smashing group of ladies. Long may it keep doing what it does so well!!
