Knaresborough pub to reopen today 111 days after fire
A Knaresborough pub that has been closed for one hundred and eleven days following a chimney fire is due to reopen this evening.
The Castle Inn, on Castlegate, has been closed since the incident on April 1 this year, but “has had a full revamp” ahead of its reopening, according to the new owner.
Landlady, Chloe-Mae Anderson-Maguire, her wife and brother-in -law, made the move from Whitby to Knaresborough to take over the pub after hearing about the fire.
She said her parents have run pubs all her life so this new venture “seemed like a great opportunity.”
The interior of the pub has been modernised. The premises – which will be showcased at the launch party – now offers 10 lagers, as opposed to the previous 7.
The pub is not yet serving food but hopes to have dishes out of the kitchen “within the next two weeks.”
The launch event will include discounted drinks, as well as a karaoke machine and live DJ to entertain the guests.
