Cricketers Harry Gurney and Stuart Broad say they're 'devastated' after a fire gutted an award-winning pub they own in the Nottinghamshire village of Upper Broughton. The pair, who own The Tap & Run in Main Road, say they are relieved there was no loss of life - apologising for any distress caused to villagers.
The fire broke out at the popular country pub just before 4am on Saturday, June 11, with eight fire crews from Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire called to the scene at the peak of the incident. Former seamer Gurney, who used to play for Nottinghamshire, owns the pub with fellow pro Broad, who is currently playing in England's second test match against New Zealand at Trent Bridge.
Mr Gurney told Nottinghamshire Live: "We are obviously devastated but relieved that there was no loss of life. We are so sorry that we will be unable to honour any bookings for the foreseeable future and sorry for any distress that the fire has caused to villagers. We will keep everyone updated on social media in the coming days and weeks."
