The function room of the Argus Butterfly public house on York Road, Peterlee was well alight, according to a County Durham fire and rescue, when the call came in shortly after 7pm.
Although the pub was open at the time, the fire itself was away from the main part of the building.
Four crews attended the scene - two from Peterlee and one each from Seaham and Wheatley Hill.
An investigation is underway into the cause of the incident.
