No 197 Chiswick Fire Station is an all day restaurant and bar at 197–199 Chiswick High Road. The former fire station has been adapted into a light contemporary venue with a central bar and outdoor space. Long kitchen hours support brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks without forcing the restaurant into one narrow style of visit.
Brunch is served into the afternoon and can be paired with coffee, fresh juice, a mimosa or Bloody Mary. Lunch choices include dishes such as Bang Bang chicken salad, while the evening menu moves into Chicken Milanese, sea trout, burgers and other substantial mains. A dedicated Sunday roast brings a more traditional close to the week.
Bottomless brunch and dinner packages provide structured options for groups, while a children’s menu makes family dining practical. The drinks offer covers cocktails, draught beer, wine, soft drinks and alcohol free choices. Guests with allergies should consult the latest menu and speak with staff because recipes and shared preparation can change.
Different areas can accommodate intimate meals, semi-private dining and larger events. The spacious design and garden help the venue shift from daytime calm to a busier evening atmosphere. No 197 is particularly well suited to diners who want modern British and international dishes in a sociable setting with a strong drinks programme.
