A Bude cafe and restaurant which was forced to close after a devastating fire has announced when it will reopen.

Rosie's Kitchen, on Crooklets Beach, was forced to close in January after a fire, later confirmed to be as a result of arson, caused a significant amount of damage to their kitchen area.

However, after a closure lasting approximately two months, the venue has announced when it will reopen again, much to local delight.

The venue has announced it will be reopening on Tuesday, March 14, and plan to hold a family day to mark the occasion during that weekend.

In a statement issued by the team behind Rosie's Kitchen, a spokesperson said: "We are super excited to announce our re-opening on Tuesday 14th of March!

"We cannot wait to see all our lovely customers and showcase our amazing new look and menus! In celebration of this momentous chapter, we have planned an amazing family-friendly FREE live music bonanza event on Saturday 18th March.

"We will be showcasing our amazing new food offerings and can’t wait to celebrate with you all; we have truly missed seeing all of your lovely faces and our management and staff truly cannot wait to be back in business."
