Fire crews initially feared somebody was trapped by a major fire which badly damaged popular Caversham pub Mitchells Tavern early this morning.
The blaze appears to have destroyed the kitchen area and left a gaping hole in the roof of the South Road pub.
The alarm was raised just before 4am and the first two fire crews which responded immediately called for back-up to help douse the well-involved fire, a Fire and Emergency spokesman said.
Initial fears a person was trapped were allayed when the individual was located soon after 4am, the spokesman said.
Two further crews responded followed by a ladder appliance.
The fire was largely out but 5.50am and two crews remain on site dousing hot spots.
