Firefighters from four crews tackled the blaze in Bude

A large fire broke out at a cafe in a coastal town in north Cornwall.

Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service said it received reports of smoke in the area of Crooklets Road, Bude, at about 21:50 GMT on Wednesday.

Four fire engines were sent to the scene, and used specialist equipment to tackle the blaze.

Rosie's Kitchen, the café in Bude, posted on its Facebook page, external thanking crews for doing an "outstanding job".

"As most of you probably know we have had quite a large fire at the café this evening," the post read.

"The building is no longer at risk and we just have one hell of a clean up operation on our hands."

The owners added the team would "come back stronger, like we always do".
