Fridges at riverside pub, The Boathouse in New Street, have been damaged and bookings have been cancelled.
Staff planned to start moving furniture yesterday morning but by the time they arrived, water had already got into the building.
Manager Oscar Santalla said: "I got a call and, of course, I came in. The water came over my wellies and it was freezing. We got some stuff out but the fridges may be ruined.
"I will have to start ringing round and letting people know. The problem now is that we have nowhere else to store furniture."
