Does anyone know how the well known sheffield pubs Fat Cat, Kelhan Island Tavern, Hillsborough, etc fared during the recent flooding.
I saw that Sheffield Wednesday had been flooded on the television and the Kelham Island ones are quite low lying.
Anybody got any idea?

The others are open as i understand.
I talked to Trevor & Lewis this morning (Wed) of the Kelham Island and they expect to be shut for a month. (SOB) All beer in kegs condemned All the floor tiles in smoking part lifted from floor Non Smoking bit floor warped - cellars flooded and a lot of crud not helped by other stuff from industrial premises with 'heavy metal' residue in the run off.
The Fat Cat was on BBC news this lunchtime - completely washed out, equipment soiled, beer wasted, you name it...
That is an absolute disaster. Our local has quite a lot of beer from them. Looks like it will be a long time before I drink anything from there now :-(

Kelham Island Brewery has apparently lost all its stock too.
I feel very sorry for Pat and Eddie at the Gardeners Rest - I thought immediately of them when I heard the news about the flooding.
