An Oxfordshire pub popular for its outdoor summer music nights is experiencing some of its worst flooding in years.
The owners of The Flowing Spring pub say the aftermath of Storm Henk has left the highest water levels for decades, wiping out two-thirds of an acre of land.
The pub in Playhatch, near Henley in South Oxfordshire, sits on the River Thames flood plain but recent rainfall has seen record levels of water sweep across the area.

Pictures from above show the dramatic flooding which completely covers the pub's garden and car parks.
Nick Willson, who owns the freehold along with his wife, Hazel Lucas, said: "We had some flooding in late November and early December and the ground was so saturated that the recent deluges have brought higher levels of flooding than in the past 14 years we've been here, even beating the 2013/14 levels.
“It's amazing when we reflect on the magical summer concerts we hold in our gardens that all the land is now under so much water.
“At the bottom of the car park, it's four feet deep and we're expecting levels to rise even further as water continues to flow downstream through Oxfordshire to us."

The pub has stayed open throughout the floods but the owners say they are seeing a significant downturn in trade.
Mr Willson said: "Anyone passing the pub sees this ocean of water.
“The passing trade who may be planning to stop for a bite to eat and a pint can't seem to entertain the idea we're actually open, even though we have signs and posters everywhere.
“Others simply stop to admire the scene but don't come in. It's a shame because this is the time of year when we really need customers' support.
“There is parking at the top of the lane. We have an entrance on Henley Road, and it's so cosy inside."
When the pub gardens are not underwater, the venue hosts bands on an outdoor stage starting from several hundred people most weekends, with marquees, shelters and a food tent.
Mr Willson said: "Our gigs are superb with such a wonderful, chilled out atmosphere.
"We have the finest rock, blues, jazz and tribute bands play here.
“We love it. What a contrast it is, looking at the sea of water out there now."
Today, there are still 32 flood alerts issued across the county and 25 flood warnings on rivers running through the area.
Of these warnings, 19 are along the River Thames.
