Booking a table

Can I walk in?
Always welcome, especially in the bar and on the Terrazza. We hold space for walk-ins every shift — you're more likely to get one mid-afternoon than at peak dinner.
What if I need to cancel or change my booking?
You can amend or cancel through the confirmation email link, or call the venue directly on 01829 423184.
Dog policy
Are dogs welcome?
We love our four-legged friends! Dogs are welcome in our bar area and on the terrace. We just ask that they're kept on a lead and are well-behaved. Water bowls available on request 🐾
Parking Tarporley
Where can I park in Tarporley?
Best parking spots:
- Tarporley Community Centre — CW6 0AY (plenty of space, just up the High Street)
- Behind the Rising Sun pub — CW6 0DP (a great local pub itself)
- High Street short-stay bays — CW6 0UW (ideal for quick visits — check signs for time limits)
It takes just two minutes to walk from one end of the village to the other — wherever you park, you're close.
Is there parking for accessibility?
The High Street bays include disabled spaces, and the Community Centre car park is level access. Let us know when you book and we'll keep the closest indoor table for you.
Allergens & dietary
Do you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?
We take dietary requirements seriously. Our team can walk you through allergen information for any dish. Please let your server know on arrival, or call us ahead of your visit. A full allergen menu is available on request.
Are there vegan and vegetarian options?
Plenty — across every menu. The dietary filter chips on each menu page let you flag V (vegetarian) and VE (vegan) to see what's suitable. Several pizzas, pastas and starters have vegan versions on request.
Is gluten-free pasta available?
Yes — gluten-free pasta is available on request across the menu. Just flag it when you order.

Can I hire the venue for an event?
Fire Station Social Cucina is available for private hire for birthdays, celebrations, corporate events and special occasions. Head to our Private Hire page to fill out an enquiry, or call 01829 423184 directly.
What spaces are available?
At Tarporley: the Cucina (main dining), the Terrazza (outdoor garden), or both, set however you like. Drop us a line via the enquiry form and we'll talk through the room set-up that fits your event.
Do you do bottomless brunch for private events?
