Our Bristol Indian restaurant needs your support after we were forced to close due to a fire
An Indian restaurant in Bristol is calling for support after being forced to close due to a possible arson.
Bombil, on Bedminster Parade in Bedminster, reopened yesterday (Sunday, December 21) following the incident the night before.
The blaze started in the toilets, where a customer allegedly set fire to toilet roll in order to avoid payment.
Avon Fire & Rescue is yet to formally confirm the cause of the fire, with an investigation underway.

“Today, we’re opening our doors again and asking our community to support a local business that took an unexpected hit.
“If you love Bombil, now’s the time to show it. Come eat, collect, or simply spread the word.”
