OWNERS of an historic Suffolk pub were today starting a clearing up operation after a fire in its kitchen.
The blaze at the Ferry Boat Inn at picturesque Felixstowe Ferry broke out as staff began the busiest part of the evening, cooking meals for customers.
Firefighters found an extractor pipe alight in a flat-roofed kitchen extension at the rear of the pub.
They had to cut away part of the roof to see if the fire had spread and ensure it was out.

The fire started shortly after 6pm and was attended by two crews from Felixstowe - and was out by 7.18pm.
Today it was all calm at the Ferry with thankfully no damage to the main part of the pub, the oldest part of the building, which is popular with residents and visitors to the fishing hamlet.
