Addingham cafe reopens indoor area after fire

Monday, 22 September 2025 06:25

The Joyful Deli in Addingham is reopening its indoor space today, less than four months after a devastating fire which destroyed a large part of the building.

Customers have been served outdoors and in marquees at the venue over the summer, following the fire overnight on 8th June this year.

In a post on social media last night, the bar and restaurant said:

"We've been busy over the past few weeks creating this cozy little gem at The Joyful Deli.

"Tomorrow we open our doors for you to experience the atmosphere everyone loved before the devastating fire in June, which destroyed the main restaurant and part of our home."

The new indoor dining area is a temporary measure, while building work takes place to refurbish the main restaurant over the coming months.

The Facebook post from owners Jilly, Mike and their team added:

"The rebuilding of the main restaurant is about to commence and we look forward to completion in December.

"We would like to thank all of our loyal friends and customers for your support over the summer, which has kept our lovely staff in employment and helped to keep The Joyful Deli going.

"Your support and help is greatly appreciated, sending love to you all with our thanks."
