The Michelin-starred restaurant in the north of England, housed in a 14th-century building, suffered significant damage when its thatched roof caught fire.
The North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the Star Hotel in Harrow caught fire at 10:13 pm local time on Wednesday (24).
The restaurant, located in the village of Harom in North Yorkshire, has posted on social media about the incident.
“We are devastated to announce that our restaurant and bubble have caught fire overnight,” the restaurant wrote in a Facebook post, adding that “fortunately no one was injured.”
The team also posted on Twitter.
“It’s been a long night so far … I’m afraid it will not open for a while because we are gray,” says one tweet, which includes a short video of firefighters working to contain the blaze.
It’s been a long day so far ….. I’m afraid we will not be able to open for a while as the star is burning to ashes, please call residents after 9am. Thanks@ chefandrewpern⁇ pic.twitter.com/gULMzVTPQd

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service firefighters extinguished the blaze using nine fire trucks, an air ladder and other equipment, according to a report.
“The fire on the thatched roof of the building caused great damage to the roof and roof space,” the newspaper said.
“The crews worked hard to prevent the fire from spreading to the thatched roof, which meant that one end of the roof and the ground floor were protected from the fire.”
The service confirmed that all residents were out of possession when the teams arrived. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
Owner Andrew Burn told BBC Radio York that the property was “not really an option” when the fire broke out. “It means a lot,” Bern said of the building, struggling with tears. Bern said it could take a year for the main dining room to reopen.
The Star Hotel in Harrow is located on the edge of North York Moors National Park. It was presented with a Michelin star, praising the restaurant’s “sense of luxury and luxury” as a “look with personality” that looks like a local pub.
“This is a place that proudly preserves its own district,” says the guide, praising the ability of chef Steve Smith to use local ingredients to “create rich, bold and delicious dishes with classic basic and modern twists”.
