A eyewitness whose property backs onto the pub saw the smoke billowing from their fifth floor balcony and described the moment firefighters battled the blaze.
The neighbour told MailOnline: 'At one stage the roof had smoke coming out of every tile, it was quite a scene.
'The chimneys, which I don't think are fully functioning, had smoke coming out too and firefighters had to pour water down them.
'I saw one firefighter being sick because the smoke was so intense, which was why they all had breathing equipment.'
After getting the blaze under control, firefighters were then seen pulling off the tiles on the roof leaving the property with gaping holes.
The neighbour added: 'They were clipping them off one by one to let air through. So now you can see into the top floor through the roof.
'It's going to be quite a repair job. But thankfully it's seems like nobody was injured. It could have been a lot worse.'
