Forty firefighters rushed to Wendover in the early hours of the morning after a fire in a pub.

Emergency services arrived at The Village Gate pub on Aylesbury Road at around 3.30am. A total of ten fire engines from Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Bletchley, Gerrards Cross, Tring, Wheatley and Maidenhead were called to the pub.

Much of the pub's roof has been destroyed. Smoke was still seen coming from the top of the building as firefighters continued to battle the blaze as daylight emerged. 

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose reels, main jets and a turntable ladder to extinguish the blaze.

The full extent of the damage is unclear at this point.

Everyone at the scene has been accounted for.
