An electrical fault is thought to be the cause of a fire at a restaurant on Bournemouth's Pier Approach.

Fire crews were called to Hot Rocks on Saturday afternoon when the blaze appears to have started in a sign at the front of the building and spread to the roof.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was under control by 9.00pm.

Investigators will be on scene on Sunday morning.
