Inventive landlord Colin Flitter is turning heads with his double-decker bus – which he’s turned into a pub.

Pub landlord Colin Flitter serves punters from his double-decker bus

He bought the red Routemaster, which he has named the Hop On Inn, on eBay for £18,500 and spent £14,000 putting in beer pumps, a bar and a stage on the top deck for bands.

Mr Flitter, 41, had the idea after visiting the US and seeing a bus outside an English-themed pub.

He said: 'We've retained most of the original features and the engine was only six years old.

'The bus has made quite a big impact and has brought back a lot of memories.'

He has given the iconic vehicle a radical makeover, replacing the standard bus seats with more comfortable chairs.

Two windows have also been removed in order to serve thirsty customers queuing up for a pint more quickly.

The pub boss, who owns the Crown Stirrup pub in Lyndhurst, Hampshire, plans to take it on the road to festivals, shows and private functions.

Built in 1966, the vehicle operated on the No.38 route, which included Piccadilly Circus in London.
