Fire crews have been battling a blaze at a fish and chip shop.

Flames broke out at Sandy Lane Fish and Chips in Brown Edge, Staffordshire, on Sunday afternoon.

In a post on X shortly after 15:30 BST, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said four crews were sent to the scene on Sandy Lane, and urged people to avoid the area.

A fire service spokesperson told the BBC nobody was hurt and it was believed the blaze started accidentally, although a cause had not been identified.

Firefighters had since left the scene, the spokesperson added.
