Firefighters tackled the blaze after Western Power Distribution isolated the electrics.

A Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Smoke was cleared from inside the Nando's building.

"The building was not damaged by fire internally or externally."

It is not known what caused the blaze.

Around the same time as the fire broke out, Western Power Distribution tweeted about a power cut in the NG18 area of Mansfield.
