A KITCHEN fire caused extensive damage to a hotel last night when it spread to the roof.

Firefighters evacuated about 40 patrons and staff from the Bennett Hotel, on Denison Street, Hamilton, about 10pm after an overflowing pot caught alight.

Firefighters had to place several men on top of the hotel to fight the flames while others put out the stove-top fire.
