Fire Station


The Wolverhampton and Dudley group unveiled a deal to buy the Wizard Inns outlets put up for sale by City financier Guy Hands and his investment vehicle, Terra Firma Capital Partners.

Wizard made a small, undisclosed pre-tax loss in 2003 on turnover of £43.8 million.

The Fire Station was this week shortlisted for an LBC 97.3 Living London Award in the Best Neighbourhood Bar category. The Anchor & Hope in The Cut is a contender in the Best Gastropub category.

The Wellington is a pub with a small hotel, handy for Waterloo's Eurostar terminal.
