About The Old Firehouse

Even though The Old Firehouse might look as if it has been a pub forever, it only opened in 1986 — prior to that it had been a firehouse in the 19th century, a military recruiting office in World War II and a storage space for railway equipment. Now it’s a lively place for sampling local ales straight from the cask, whether in the cosy three-story bar or outside in the courtyard when the weather is warm.
