Kent Fire and Rescue Service responded to reports of a fire at The Cod Father Fish Bar on Cherry Tree Avenue in Dover. On arrival, the fire had begun to spread to the flat above.
Two fire engines and a height vehicle attended, and crews wearing breathing apparatus tackled the fire on both floors with hose reel jets and main jets.
Kent Police also attended, along with the KFRS Volunteer Response Team to provide support to the occupants.
The cause of the fire is believed to be linked to oil catching alight in the fish bar kitchen.
