A rural gastropub owned by England cricketers Harry Gurney and Stuart Broad will reopen next month – a year after it was gutted by fire. Some £1.3 million has been spent renovating The Tap & Run, in Upper Broughton, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, after it was destroyed by the blaze which started in a tumble dryer.
The 2021 Leicestershire Pub of the Year is set to reopen its doors to the public on Monday, June 26. The owners – who run a business called the The Cat & Wickets Pub Company – said they were delighted that most of the original Tap and Run team will be returning, under the management of Jack Whitehead, Anna Mooney and Laura Symington.
The Cat & Wickets Pub Company also owns The Griffin Inn, in Swithland, Leicestershire.
