Drinkers had to evacuate a pub after a severe fire broke out in the landlord's kitchen.

A deep fat fryer which had been left unattended burst into flames in the living quarters of the Oddfellows Arms on Towngate, Wyke.

Odsal and Brighouse firefighters were called out at 9.30pm on Saturday night and said about 15 customers had to leave the pub.

The kitchen was destroyed by flames and the living quarters of the pub suffered smoke and heat damage. No-one was hurt.
