A much-loved restaurant in Glossop has closed after a fire broke out on Wednesday evening. The blaze at Hyssop started with a tumble dryer and has destroyed most of the site on the High Street.
Emergency services were called to the scene not long after, leading to road closures and an evacuation of the area around the restaurant. Following the incident, Hyssop's owners took to social media to explain that the whole top floor went up in flames, but that fortunately no one was harmed or injured.
Hyssop was first started as a pop-up restaurant concept by chef Paul Sykes and his partner Jess Hine in 2018, before taking on a six-month residency at the Bull's Head and eventually opening a permeant spot on Glossop High Street in 2019. The restaurant was listed in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland in March, with inspectors praising its "super friendly team" and "well-judged dishes".
