A family-run pub in Coneythorpe is to reopen its doors, 11 months after a devastating fire.

Fire crews from Harrogate, Knaresborough and Acomb spent six hours battling the blaze at the Tiger Inn in November.

When the pub reopens on Monday, October 25, owners Ian and Barbara Gill will donate £5,000 to the Firefighter's Charity as a thank-you.

The Gills have run the Tiger Inn, near Knaresborough, for 15 years. Mr Gill said:

"As you can imagine, the last 18 months have been extremely challenging.
"We were already struggling with the serious effects of covid last year, when the huge fire struck. As a result we have been closed ever since.
"However, we have been so heartened and encouraged by the support we have received from all our regulars.
"They have given us the strength to carry on and to ensure that The Tiger will re-open in style.”


North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said at the time of the blaze that fire broke out in the pub’s kitchen and the cause was believed to be accidental.

Neighbours said they were devastated and described the pub as a pillar of the community.
