FIREFIGHTERS were called out to a fire at a fish and chip shop in Newquay earlier this afternoon (Tuesday, April 15).

Two appliances attended the scene at The Cod End on Cliff Road from around 2pm.

A cordon was put in place and those inside the takeaway were safely evacuated.

A clear-up operation is now taking place but motorists are warned to expected delays due to queuing traffic on Cliff Road and the surrounding area.
