The Osborne View was victim to a terrible fire that ripped through the majority of the venue on Thursday, February 22, 2024. Emergency crews were at the scene of the fire from the morning and they were working for hours throughout the day to put out the blaze and secure the site.
It is believed that an electrical fault with a tumble dryer was the cause of the fire but there are ongoing investigations at the restaurant. As a result, Hill Head Road is still closed in both directions between Osborne View Road and Old Street.
