The historic Crooked Billet establishment in Stoke Row faces an extended period of closure following a significant blaze.
The incident occurred during the early hours of Sunday, July 12, resulting in the immediate and indefinite shutdown of the venue situated near Henley.
Footage shared publicly by proprietor Paul Clerehugh documented the extensive destruction caused by the flames.
The kitchen area suffered complete incineration while the roof structure sustained severe damage and partial collapse.
The clips released by the owner illustrated the full extent of interior devastation throughout the building.
Preliminary investigations indicated the fire originated in the storage cellar before rapidly spreading through the property.
Temporary scaffolding had been erected around the exterior as safety precautions during the assessment period.
Complete rebuilding efforts will require at least twelve months, according to the owner.
During the restoration works, operations will relocate to The Greyhound situated in Peppard Common.
The team plans to commence service at the temporary venue from October 1, providing an interim location for regular patrons throughout the reconstruction period.
The venue will serve as a temporary substitute while major repairs are carried out at the damaged property.
The Greyhound itself had ceased operations permanently in December 2024, with proprietor David Brown announcing the closure eighteen months after assuming control.
Brown cited challenging trading conditions as the reason for the permanent shutdown.
