A pub part-owned by England cricketer Stuart Broad has had to close after a “significant fire” in the early hours of Saturday. A statement on the website of the award-winning Tap & Run country pub and kitchen in Upper Broughton, halfway between Nottingham and Melton Mowbray, said the venue would not be trading “for the foreseeable future”. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said the property had been severely damaged with a fire in the roof still burning by mid-morning on Saturday. In a tweet shortly before 4.30am, the fire service said it had eight fire engines at the scene in Main Road, Upper Broughton. pic.twitter.com/nfZxtqFBml — The Tap & Run, Upper Broughton.
