A newly revamped pub had to be evacuated after a fire broke out.

Firefighters were called to The Queen Street Tap in Deal town centre shortly after 3.30pm on Sunday.

Two fire engines were sent to the pub, and it is believed the blaze started in the cellar of the pub restaurant area.

The venue was previously known as The Hole in the Roof, but closed in July while new owners Stonegate Pub Company completed a £500,000 refurbishment and name change.

It reopened on Thursday, August 24.

More as we get it.
