Firefighters returned to a Hever pub this morning to investigate a fire that seriously damaged the building last night.

Six fire engines were sent to the Greyhound Inn in Uckfield Lane when a blaze broke out at 1.20am.

At the height of the fire, the six engines, a height vehicle and a command support unit were in attendance as Kent Fire and Rescue Service worked with colleagues from Surrey and Sussex.

The roof of the pub suffered the most damage.

The number of crews tackling the flames was gradually reduced throughout the night and by 4.30am there were just two fire engines left.

The final crews left at about 6.45am but firefighters returned this morning to investigate the cause of the fire.

Last night, firefighters searched the building and found everyone was accounted for.

Crews used hose reels, a main jet and a hydrant to tackle the blaze.
