Four fire engines were sent to The Jubilee Oak pub, after a 999 call at 1.32pm today.

A West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service representative said the building was fully evacuated, and firefighters in breathing apparatus used hose reels and a jet to tackle the fire.

The fire is thought to have started in an electrical intake cupboard.
