we go away at least every other weekend and wondered if this was worth joining, we live on the south coast (Worthing) so is there much around our area as we don't want to travel loads of miles just for a weekend away.

Any ideas roughly what sort of percentage of Britstops we would be welcome at with a 8.5m tri-axle motorhome?

I am sure that not everyone would have space or want us to take up two spaces in the carpark.

Well if you're considering getting awning out, bbq and guests around and drinking supermarket beer, probably 0% but that's just a guess.

I would not need to do any of that if there is a PUB involved

For your first outing may I suggest 136. Lovely pub with good staff and a nice selection of Ales. Food is pub grub, but good enough. Large Gardens for your "Small pub meet" with @Rockcrawler and very quite at night. Park in the far car park and close to the field if there is space. I have never found the waste and fresh points, but there again never asked either. Also a good stop over for the Tunnel.

Didn't even know this existed

I never suggested that was what I wanted to do.

What I said was:

We haven't joined Britstops because we didnt think they would be the kind of places where we could get the sun loungers out and just relax. Not a criticism, I fully get what Britstops are offering so we may well join in 2018.

I then went on to say in light of the comment made by Zigisla:

Perhaps there is an extra 'benefit' that Britstops could offer by highlighting which stops are happy for bbq's and loungers.

What I didn't say was:
I will join Britstops because I want to get the awning out, fire up the bbq and invite guests around so we can drink supermarket beer.

We joined Britstop, haven't used it yet but hoping to next week when we have a wander....NicNic gave a good description....when we want to sit out we go for a campsite not a Britstop...but for having a wander round the immediate area Britstops is a good idea.

Thanks, have now joined the group as well

There is also a Facebook group (if you can stand Facebook) which has lots of reviews.

We were out Britstopping this weekend! Don't have the guide to hand right now, but if memory serves we stayed at 057 ish, it is around that number (If you open the book around that number, you'll find it), and convenient for Cheddar Gorge. Lovely little pub with a secluded car park.
Our daughter wanted to go to Wookey Hole, so we did that during the day, arrived late afternoon at the pub, and had a few beers, and later we took our table that we booked and had a superb pub meal, incidentally the cost of our meal in the pub was almost the same as a few sandwiches, and some soft drinks in the cafe at Wookey!
Frankly we wouldn't be without our Britstop guide, we have explored many places we wouldn't have seen otherwise!
