Nando's in Shrewsbury hit by small fire
A popular Shrewsbury restaurant was shut for several hours today, following a minor fire in one of its ovens.
Two fire engines were sent to Nando's in Old Potts Way, Shrewsbury, at about 11am today to deal with a small fire in a kitchen oven.
The minor blaze was dealt with by firefighters within 20 minutes, but the restaurant was expected to be closed until around 5pm while staff carry out safety checks.
The restaurant normally opens at noon each day.
General manager James Kirby said: "The fire service were called as a precautionary measure."
He said the restaurant was opening later than normal to ensure everything was working properly.
