Tom Hiddleston sparks controversy after power cut at family dinner

In Hampshire, England, a notable incident occurred at a pub named the Pub with No Name on a Saturday evening. While popular actor Tom Hiddleston was dining with family and friends, patrons were taken by surprise as the power suddenly went out. The staff quickly suspected Hiddleston, known for portraying the trickster Loki in the Marvel franchise, attributing the blackout to his mischievous reputation. Laura Walsha, a kitchen porter, notably remarked that Hiddleston 'utterly denied it of course, but I wasn't convinced.' The root cause of the power outage was later revealed to be Storm Darragh, which led to significant disruptions in the pub. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Hiddleston’s party was able to complete their meals as the staff adeptly set up candles and lit a fire, creating a cozy atmosphere in the absence of electricity. However, this outage resulted in more serious implications for the pub. Head chef Dan Burrell stated that the power cut necessitated the disposal of all fresh stock and food that had been prepared for the upcoming Christmas functions. The pub was forced to close its doors on Sunday following the incident but has since reopened after the power was restored. In a message shared on Instagram, the owners expressed their regret about the necessary closure and confirmed that they had contacted all affected bookings directly, assuring patrons they hoped to welcome them back soon.
