Fire at Alderley Edge Panacea celebrity restaurant ‘suspicious’
This wasn’t the first fire that took place at Panacea Alderley Edge. Following the incident in 2008 – days after it first opened a second “major blaze” at the Cheshire restaurant and bar popular with footballers and celebrities is being treated as suspicious by police.
The fire service was called to the Panacea restaurant in London Road, Alderley Edge at 22:30 GMT on Tuesday 12th March and ten fire crews tackled the blaze, which broke through the roof of the property.
Cheshire Police said no one was injured. Officers want to speak to two people who were seen to arrive in a car before the fire broke out who then were seen walking towards the building and then left in the car.
They are particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw a dark coloured BMW or Audi shortly before 22:30 GMT.”
Cheshire Fire Service said it was still damping down at the scene, with the damage to the building described as “extensive” and are now working closely with the authorities to establish the cause of the fire.
