A MAJOR Winchester fast-food restaurant has been evacuated.
Customers at McDonald's in St George's Street were told to leave the building after a fire alarm went off.
One fire engine was situated near the building, and other nearby buildings have also been evacuated.
One person who didn't want to be named said: "It is an alarm I can't see or smell anything."
Another diner who was inside McDonald's said: "The alarm went off and they told us to leave."
A fireman at the scene told the Chronicle that the incident was caused by a false alarm.
