A pub in Long Ashton has been forced to close for more than a week due to severe flooding. The Ashton has been closed since last Thursday after torrential rainstorms hit the Bristol area, causing the pub's cellar to be completely submerged and decimating much of its stock.
The pub on Ashton Road neighbouring Ashton Court Estate is one of the latest casualties affected by the recent heavy rainfall flooding the car park and the property. The pub has been a part of the Mitchells & Butler group since 2015.
Costs are currently being calculated after there was substantial damage to large areas of the pub and a loss of stock. Staff, who have been working hard to clean up the pub after the flooding, are set to welcome back customers on Saturday (January 21). A message stuck to the sign outside said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
