The Crown Inn, Cerney Wick and its restaurant Asha are to reopen on Tuesday, June 6 following a devastating electrical fire which destroyed the kitchen in March.

The popular East-meets-West restaurant and takeaway had been operating from the historic Cotswold lake pub since 18 February.

Foyez Rahman and his uncle, head chef Khaled had got villagers and lake home dwellers used to their take on Indian classics with a modern twist, when the fire meant the pub had to close.

“The closure means we have had a chance to improve the kitchen and our offering,” Foyez said. “Asha and The Crown is coming back bigger and better, that I can promise,” he added.

“We have some great plans for the summer which include some events. It is great to be at a venue that has such a great outdoor space,” Foyez added.


Peter Davison is deputy editor of The Business Magazine. He has spent his life in journalism – doing work experience in newsrooms in and around Bristol while still at school, and landing his first job on a local newspaper aged 19. By 28 he was the youngest newspaper editor in the country.

An early advocate of online news, he spent the first years of the 2000s telling his bosses that the internet posed both the biggest opportunity and greatest threat to the newspaper industry and the art of journalism. He was right on both counts.

Since 2006 he has enjoyed a career as a freelance journalist. He lives in rural Wiltshire with one wife, two children, and three cats.
