A Nottingham cafe will be closed this week for a refurbishment following a flood. The White Rabbit Teahouse suffered water damage in the kitchen a few weeks ago.
The tea room, off Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham, is normally closed Monday and Tuesday anyway but it will remained closed until Saturday, May 20 while the work is being carried out. Owner Frances Russell said: "People might come in and think it looks the same but we're just having a freshen up because we got flooded. We needed to have a new floor put down in the kitchen, so we thought it would be an opportunity to freshen it up for summer.
"Water came in from student lets above us. They'd fiddled with the boiler and it lost pressure and it ended up with water pouring out of the back of the building and there being so much water that it came in through our wall. We're having a new floor and all repainted everywhere.
