Firefighters raced to the Duchess of Cambridge pub in Thames Street, Windsor at 4.10pm this afternoon after receiving reports of a fire.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue (RBFRS) crews from Windsor, Ascot, two crews from Slough and the Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) from Whitley Wood Fire Station were sent to the scene.

They found a fire in the chimney of the building and the road was closed while they tackled it.

The road has been closed off. But a staff member told the Observer 10 minutes ago that the fire had been contained and it was hoped the premises could open as usual tonight.
