Firefighters were called to a popular Isle of Wight pub in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday) after a blaze broke out in an outdoor seating area.
On-call crews from Shanklin were sent to The Wheatsheaf Inn on Brading High Street shortly before 3am.
Hampshire and IW Fire and Rescue Service said the fire is believed to have started in a solar-powered battery light, housed within a set of wooden planters.
The flames then spread to nearby vines and a pergola structure.
Firefighters used a hose reel jet to bring the blaze under control and prevent further damage.
Ventilation fans were also used to clear light smoke that had entered the pub’s bar area.
The incident was resolved within an hour, with fire crews returning to the station at around 4am.
The County Press understands no one was injured and the damage was minor.
