OWNERS of the Fox and Hounds pub in Barley hope to re-open as soon as possible after a fire.
The fire started in a chimney and caused substantial damage to the bar area.
Pub landlord Aaron Clayton said: "We have an ingle-nook fire place, and the fire-fighters told us that the fire was caused by ash dropping through on to the floor.
"It's gutted the front bar, but fortunately, most of the damage has been restricted to that area. We will have to be closed for some time."
