Sad News: Coldham Hall in Substantial Fire

[MY littleboat]

I'm sorry to pass the news on that Coldham Hall has been very badly damaged in a serious fire this afternoon. Passing all my best wishes on to Nat and George who have always been terrific hosts to both members of this and other forums locally.

 

Hoping they get back on their feet very soon

This is one of my favourite eateries. I hope there was nobody hurt in the fire  and I hope they can get it back in action soon. Best of luck to them.

According to the EDP the fire was restricted to the kitchen/food prep area but the main pub was not affected – probably will have some smoke damage though. So hopefully they may be able to get up and running fairly soon even though they may not be able to have the full food offer on for a while. Such a shame, I popped in last month and had a superb pint of Humpty Dumpty Reedham Gold.

 

The EDP also say police are investigating which sounds slightly ominous????

 

I wish them well.

Sad news, we were planning on visiting this year in August. We ate there on our first night last year. Excellent meal with really good service.

Very sad I hope they can get back up and running soon.. Everyone needs to make a beeline for them when they reopen.. (although the same needs to be said for all southern businesses really)...

 

Hope they can get back up soon though.

I heard about this last night when I got home. Such a shame. All the best to Natalie and George. The southern broads needs this pub.

The good news is that according to their FB page, they will be reopening again on Friday!!

Yep!! Quote from Twitter
 
"The only flames at Coldham Hall this weekend will be on our BBQ. Re-opening Friday 4th July 6pm with a BBQ, also Saturday & Sunday lunch"

 

Good news indeed

That's good news, looks like that are back on our visit list for August.

How does the smoking ban work when the whole pub is smoking?

The portable kitchen can be seen infront of the pub, you have to commend the owners for the effort they have put into to get up and running with food again. The bar and restaurant were not effected by the fire other than some smoke, they were very lucky the thatched roof did not set on fire.

Hi John,

The Troutbeck Hotel fire was caused by a tumble drier, I think they were also flooded out in 2010/2011. we used to have a timeshare in a marina cottage up there on the Windermere Marina Villiage Marina overlooking all the boats.

All very sad.

Regards

Alan
