Lunchtime customers who were evacuated when an electrical box short-circuited at a family pub will be invited back to continue their meals.

The drama unfolded at 2pm on Saturday, September 8, when wiring in an outside meter overheated and blew out all the Trent Port's electrical appliances.

Manager Chris Lodge took the decision to make a 999 call and evacuate the pub in Ramper Road, Gainsborough.

"The fire brigade were in attendance for approximately an hour and there was no damage other than to the meter," owners Crown Carveries said in a statement.
