Fire crews are expected to remain overnight at the scene of a fire which ripped through a brewery's outbuildings this afternoon.

The fire broke out on the roof of the stable buildings and offices of Hook Norton Brewery. 

Managing director of Hook Norton Brewery, James Clarke, said no-one was hurt but the fire has caused 'significant' damage to the building, which was evacuated quickly. 

A brewery statement said: "All our horses were already out in their field long before this incident started. 

"The brewery, brewery shop, visitor centre and Malthouse Kitchen are closed until further notice."

Although the fire was largely extinguished by late Monday, fire crews from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue will remain on scene throughout the night.

Structural engineers were seen attending the site at approximately 4.50pm to assess the damage caused by the fire.

Mr Clarke said: "We have an on-call fire station in Hook Horton and they train here regularly. 

"It's really proved [the importance of] local knowledge and awareness of both the site now, and also the emergency water supplies. 

"The response was very quick - they know the building, they know the layout, they know the access so that all helped the outcome - it could have been a whole lot worse."

It is currently not known how the fire started.
