A West Norfolk restaurant has been damaged after a fire broke out in the kitchen.

The Warehouse Taproom, Bar & Restaurant in Setchey, near King's Lynn, was partially wrecked by the blaze on October 10.

Thanks to fire safety measures, including fire doors, the flames were contained, sparing the bar and restaurant from extensive destruction.

However, the kitchen sustained significant fire damage and is temporarily unusable.
