    [ad_1]

    Guy Ritchie was seen for the first time since his pub was left with a huge hole in the roof after a fire broke out on Wednesday.

    The filmmaker, 52, seemed to be in good spirits despite the blaze as he enjoyed the night out with wife Jacqui Ainsley at the Chiltern Firehouse in London on Thursday.

    The model, 39, looked remarkably like Guy’s ex-wife Madonna in her younger years as she sported stylish blonde locks that cascaded over her shoulders.

    Jacqui put on a stylish display as she wore a yellow gingham-print two-piece that paired a peplum top and a matching maxi skirt.

    Her ensemble also featured dramatic puffy sleeves and she complemented the outfit by keeping her personal items in a yellow handbag. 

    She boosted her statuesque figure with a pair of white block toe heels, and she kept her accessories to a minimum so all attention remained on her attire.

    Guy, meanwhile, looked dapper in a black jacket that he donned over a white shirt and beige suit trousers.

    Guy’s pub was damaged following the blaze on Wednesday, with a witness saying the smoke was so intense that it caused first responders to vomit.

    Around 70 firefighters and 10 fire engines attended the Lore of the Land pub in Conway Street, Fitzrovia, at 12.15pm, where the fire is said to have started in an extraction system from the first floor to the roof vent.

    In pictures taken during the incident, smoke can be seen coming from the venue while firefighters continue working to make the brick pub safe.

    A eyewitness whose property backs onto the pub saw the smoke billowing from their fifth floor balcony and described the moment firefighters battled the blaze.

    The neighbour told MailOnline: ‘At one stage the roof had smoke coming out of every tile, it was quite a scene.

    ‘The chimneys, which I don’t think are fully functioning, had smoke coming out too and firefighters had to pour water down them.

    ‘I saw one firefighter being sick because the smoke was so intense, which was why they all had breathing equipment.’

    After getting the blaze under control, firefighters were then seen pulling off the tiles on the roof leaving the property with gaping holes.

    The neighbour added: ‘They were clipping them off one by one to let air through. So now you can see into the top floor through the roof.

    ‘It’s going to be quite a repair job. But thankfully it’s seems like nobody was injured. It could have been a lot worse.’

    Speaking on Wednesday, London Fire Brigade station commander Jason Fisby said: ‘Access to the seat of the fire is challenging and very labour intensive. 

    ‘The number of fire engines at the scene is a reflection of the need for a high turn over of firefighters wearing breathing apparatus. Firefighters are carrying out salvage work and trying to prevent water damage on the floors below.’

    No injuries have been reported since the blaze broke out. MailOnline has contacted representatives for Guy and London Fire Brigade for comment.

    The Lore Of The Land secretly opened its doors in 2019, marking Guy’s return to pub ownership for the first time since he and Madonna owned the Punch Bowl in Mayfair.

    The swanky menu features venison, which is brought in from Guy’s Wiltshire estate, Ashcombe, where Cecil Beaton lived. 

    Beer served is from his Gritchie Brewing Company alongside bar snacks including Jerusalem artichoke pate with crispy chicken skin and a seed cracker. 

    When the pub opened, it was revealed that Guy took incredible care to make sure that every plate, glass and picture in the pub was handpicked by him.

    Solution: While trying to stop the flames, firefighters ripped off dozens of roof tiles to let the smoke out, according to an eyewitness

    The blaze comes after Guy’s £10m home was targeted by burglars in December – in an echo of one of his crime films. Raiders rifled through rooms in the director’s Georgian house in London but left empty-handed as police rushed to the scene.

    It is not known if Madonna’s ex-husband – whose films include Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch – was home at the time of the raid.

    The burglars were ‘seen by an occupant,’ said a source, adding: ‘Shortly afterwards the police turned up and the suspects legged it up the street and got away.’

    Guy shares the eight-bedroom home in Fitzrovia with wife Jacqui Ainsley, 39. They split their time between the London home and their 18th-century estate in Wiltshire which was given to him as part of his divorce with Madonna in 2008.

    A burglar broke into the country mansion in 2010. A neighbour said at the time: ‘This is shocking and always a worry when you hear of an incident like that…

    ‘We all hire private security companies to protect us. I pay £3,700 a month.  That’s for private security to do walks at night and keep an eye out. They monitor the area.’

    The neighbour told The Sun: ‘We believe organised criminals operate in the area and target these homes. It’s a very nice area. We know we’re going to be a target. I hope the police can find the people responsible. We need to feel safe.’

    A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘Detectives are investigating following a report of a burglary at a residential address in Fitzrovia.

    ‘It is not believed anything was taken.’
