Fire at 'Harry Potter' Dartmoor pub

It will be closed for a spell

A Dartmoor pub used last week for what's thought to be filing for the forthcoming Harry Potter TV series has been damaged by fire.

The blaze broke out in a storeroom of the Cleve Inn at Lustleigh on Sunday morning.

Three fire engines were originally sent, but more were called for when they saw that the adjoining property had a thatch roof.

Another five fire engines, an aerial ladder platform and water bowser, were also sent.

Writing on Facebook, a spokesperson for the inn said: "Infortunately we’ve had a small fire in the early hours, Everyone thankfully is okay thanks to Devon Fire Brigade's speedy response. It’s the cellar/store but this means we will be closed for a few days. We need to clean up and re-stock. We won’t know for a few days what the cause was despite early speculation by some."

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
