The Royal Oak pub in Marlow have revealed that they plan to open their doors to the public in spring next year.

The popular boozer, which is located on Frieth Road, caught on fire on September 15 after it was alleged that one of the pub’s tumble dryers caught alight.

However, this was never confirmed to the Bucks Free Press.

In a statement on Twitter on October 24, the popular pub said: “The first steps to bringing #YourFavouritePub back to life post-fire. Reopening in Spring 2020.”

More than 40 firefighters from across the South East put out a huge blaze at the pub where there were no reported injuries, but one woman was given oxygen following the effects of breathing in smoke.

However, after receiving treatment at the scene, she did not go to hospital to be assessed.

A day after the fire, we spoke to Becky Salisbury, who owns the pub with her husband David, and she told the Bucks Free Press: “The fire means it’ll be a good few months before we are open again, but hopefully we will be back with our existing team.

“We will look after them in the meantime and when we reopen, we will be bigger and better than before.

"In times like these, you've got to be positive."

Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury have owned the pub since May 2000 and revealed to the BFP that in the 19 years they’ve had the Royal Oak in their name, they have never experienced an incident of this nature.

She also said: “We had a full house when the fire started, and there were people just about to eat their food.

“But when we found out that there was a fire, the team did a fantastic job in getting all the customers of out the pub in time."
