A much-loved gastropub in Nottinghamshire has reopened after it was ravaged by a fire in 2022. The Tap and Run, in the village of Upper Broughton, on the Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire border, is welcoming back customers following a £1.3 million re-build.
The blaze broke out in the early hours of June 11, 2022, after laundry ignited in a tumble dryer. The entire first and second floors were burnt out, and the roof was destroyed. The ground floor was so smoke and water-damaged that it had to be stripped right back to brick.
The pub forms part of The Cat and Wickets Pub Company which is co-owned by England cricketer Stuart Broad and former Nottinghamshire and England international Harry Gurney. The village venue was named Pub of the Year at the Leicestershire Tourism and Hospitality Awards 2021 and was also picked out by The Times as one of Britain's top 30 places to visit for a Sunday lunch.
