A pub shut its doors early last night after one of its ceilings collapsed.

The Fishes, off North Hinksey Lane, said it would close from 7.30pm to carry out repair work on its interior.

In a reference to the hit song Dancing on the Ceiling, a staff member tweeted: “Lionel Richie has been at it again. Shut (at) 7:30 this evening for immediate repair work. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

A picture was originally uploaded of the ceiling, but staff later removed it from Twitter.
