Popular Glossop restaurant Hyssop was devastated by a fire last week, and now the owners of the venue are looking to the local community for support as they rebuild the space.
The fire started on Wednesday 14th September in a freak tumble drier accident. The incident has completely gutted the space on High Street in the centre of Glossop, forcing the venue to immediately close. Owner Jessica Hine explained: “We are absolutely devastated at what’s happened – experiencing possibly the worst day of our lives.
“The restaurant sector has been a turbulent environment for the past couple of years; the pandemic and increasing costs have made trading challenging, but we were had such a positive outlook as we looked forward to a bustling autumn and festive season.“I am heartbroken that’s gone; I am heartbroken for my incredible colleagues, and for our customers whose bookings we can no longer honour.”
Jess and her team are now focusing on rebuilding the restaurant and maintaining some operations while repairs are undertaken. She is hoping to call on the support of local tradespeople and handy men who can help in any small way and has launched a crowdfunding campaign; she continued: “We now face the monumental task of rebuilding the space and bringing Hyssop back to life when we can.
“As we wait to get the ball rolling, we have to come up with a way to keep the finances afloat to pay the bills and staff going forward in the coming months. Just as many other businesses operate in this current economic climate, Hyssop survives week by week, and any loss of earnings will be catastrophic to our future.
“We are trying to raise some funds to enable us to make part of our space functionable in order to trade in some way, shape or form, in order to keep things ticking. We are so grateful for everybody's kind words and offerings, we are completely overwhelmed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
