In a message on its Facebook page, the pub said: "Thank you for all your support and kinds words, clearly it will be quite some weeks before we will be back to any sort of normal.
"Many thanks to those customers who helped. These things happen - think positive!"
Penwortham Girls' High School in Cop Lane is also staying shut today (Tuesday, July 13) due to "significant flooding" which has affected classrooms and electrical systems.
