FIREFIGHTERS spent an hour battling a fire that broke out in a restaurant's industrial oven earlier today.

Crews from Whitley Wood, Wokingham Road and Caversham Road rushed to the Toby Carvery on Chalfont Way in Lower Early.

Crew manager Martin O'Keefe from Whitley Wood said: "We were called just before 2.40 this afternoon.

"They had  a fire in the oven. It was extinguished using two breathing apparatus, a hose reel and two carbon dioxide extinguishers."
