There are lots of villages near Bristol that have been isolated from the city area due to bus cuts in recent years. Residents in Yatton are now served by just one bus route after a devastating round of cuts last year.
For The Market Inn on North End Road, this means the pub caters predominantly to the local community. The pub’s landlord George Smith is hoping people will still travel to the pub, which is some 13 miles away from Bristol, particularly as it boasts one of the biggest beer gardens in the area.
“It doesn’t really help that they’ve taken all of the buses away,” George said. “We’re a bit cut off in that respect.”
