I would rather they just charged say a fiver, refundable at the bar .. do any do that ?

They aren't supposed to.

Great idea.. I'm sure it suits many who enjoy pub meals and a couple of drinks..

but too expensive for us.. 3 meals / snacks and drinks ... £30 ??

I agree with your pricing logic Jim, but from the web site photos, all said to be taken by users on 'real' sites, these are not all pubs, I have literally just ordered my book so have not seen it to confirm, but I expect other options to pubs, but I also don't really mind £30 for a meal, CL plus buy your own food, plus a drink, probably going to be minimum £20 a night anyway

Yep, the pics on our gallery have all been taken by Britstoppers at Brit Stops venues over the last couple of years, and sent in for our monthly photo competition.

About 60% of the hosts are pubs (mainly village-based or rural), most of the rest are farm shops, with half a dozen vineyards, a few restaurants/cafes, some visitor centres and a range of "one-offs" like an airfield, a llama park and a museum of magic (!).

Surely BritStops isn't an "instead" of the CS and CL and nightstop networks but an alternative?

EDIT: should say addition rather than alternative!

Did you do Titan or velocity?

We did Titan. You should have a go!

Bounce wasn't open when we went, missed it by about a week….might do that this year.

@Puddleduck Correct , it is an alternative.. like an expensive site is an alternative.. or parking on the street.. or an aire..

In the UK my choice is a CL.. or indeed a site.. abroad we use a mix of Aires and municipal sites ..

we don't drink and rarely eat out, so it's an 'each to their own' answer.. no right or wrong.

It sounds like a great idea. Do we get a Funster discount on the book?

Indeed! We use camp sites, aires and wild camp occasionally. Depends on the circumstances. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Brit Stops isn't a crusade! If it works for some, great. I'm sure it won't adversely affect your motorhoming fun if you don't use Brit Stops!

I'm afraid there's no Funster discount though - sorry!

I like CLs and CSs as well. We also rarely eat out so to be able to stop beside where we are eating and not have to have a long drive back is a real treat for us - something not possible at home. We don't do it often so it's special. We also need EHU if we are staying for more than a night.

We have found a number of sites now only take bookings for two or more nights so when en-route the BritStop network can work out well.

As you (sort of) said, each to their own. Glad there is something that suits most of us

We were able to collect ours from Birmingham, as after ordering arranged to go on Fun rally and wouldn't have got book in time, thanks for letting us collect, it looks great and we will be using it on our return to UK later in the year

A CL or even a site can be a lot cheaper..

and yes I am aware you are not compelled to buy anything... but if too many do that they would soon stop the 'free' parking..

Couldn't agree more, wasn't going to comment as everyone seemed to be bulling it up, we had it two years ago , cost us a fortune in bars

I do it quite often.. and get swept away

We are in the C&CC and MCC but used Britstops quite often last year, couldn't see the point in booking a proper site for a one night stop over and then walking down the road to try and find a pub for a meal and a drink.
To us its a no brainer.

Just ordered my 2015 copy. We find brit stops great for 1 night stopovers on the way to places further from home so we can break up the journey. We use farm shops too for the same reason and buy fresh produce for our hols whilst there.
