DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE van camping at a pub
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- More and more pubs around the country are opening their car parks for campers and van lifers. This is the coach and horse and they allow you to stay in you van on their property they even have camping facilities such as electric hookup. I also go paddle boarding in marathon.

Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos about CORNWALL and Falmouth I sometimes visit St Ives Cornwall and Padstow Cornwall too. Come here for everything from travel recommendations to beach reviews such as Perranporth Beach Cornwall. I also LOVE EXPLORING Cornwall’s coast line and the South West Coastal Path. Thank you for watching and commenting and liking the video.
What a great location. That pub could add another layer to their service - you pay in advance and in the morning they deliver a cooked breakfast to your van door!
That’s a good idea
It is in effect a camping site .... so adding food coffee etc makes a lot sense... your dead right !
Now you are talking
Million dollar idea, right there! I'd pay a lot for coffee in bed that neither of us had to make.
That is a great service that the pub is providing and eating there helps to support them. Well done for bringing this place to our attention and thanks for the video.
Thanks Mark
Wow beautiful that you could chill on the board floating on the water...therapeutic
Quick shout out...... Thanks for the stickers! 😁😁
You’re welcome Robert
I used to live in Marazion and work in Helston and passed that pub hundreds of times, but never went in. I'll have to pay them a visit after seeing how friendly and decent they are 😊
And even though I live in Cornwall, I still love seeing these local places filmed so beautifully matey, great videos 👍
I was the same I always drive past and think that looks nice I’ll go there one day 😂
I heard Helston isn't the same I was based at Culdrose in the late 90's Helston I belive was the Blue Anchor was pretty good.
@@NATESWORLD2021 Helston's changed, like everywhere really. The Blue is still the same though, great place 👍
There's a place up here in Scotland on the banks of Loch Long which does the same, plus it also has a mini shop and dies breakfasts in the car park too from a wee porter cabin
Hi there I was just saying to someone the other day that pubs are struggling and I think it would be excellent idea for pubs to have their carparks used for van lifers. They could open their doors early for breakfasts and this would encourage others to come at that time for food too in the mornings like white van drivers Pubs will have to adapt and if I had a pub I would gate off the area at night open with a code van lifers could get.from them prior and charge a small charge and lay on breakfast people could buy in the morning. I think it would work.
Great minds think a like
Another thoroughly enjoyable video... Got the bunks... Sink.. Loo... Fridge, solar panel on the Transit semi high top... Yet to get it on the Rd for a few trips around Kernow... My Vauxall vivaro died.. So I said to my wife... Or rather she said to me.. Get a van we can stand up in... Job done... Well 70% done 😉👌
Yea my wife keeps saying that to me too
@@LoveSundays.. Not too much of a issue when your 5"7..ummm 5"6...😉
Nice one Shaun and well done to the coach and horses great idea. Good to see you back on the water. Thanks as always Shaun.
Thanks Nigel. It felt good to get back out on the paddleboard
Cheers thinking of taking the dip.into full time van living 👍👍
So many businesses should adopt that idea of using their lots for van lifers. Such a great idea.
Yep 100%
What a great way of generating a bit of extra income for the pub and such great value!
That steak certainly beats your normal can of Irish stew 🤣
Don’t knock the lamb stew 😂
That was a superb camping spot, kudos to the pub for providing the facilities for such an amazing price plus food & drink on your doorstep.
Well done picking up the fishing line, nice video as usual.
Thanks Annie
Great idea. Pub Camping is something I’ll be trying come spring when my new van renovation is complete .
Great video as always Shaun brings me back to the time your mother and I went to Whitby (Yorkshire) to camp in our tent ,she said book ahead I said nahhh there will be loads of sites, we arrived 10pm and all sites were full and hotels too something was going on around the place, in desperation we went to have a meal in the Beehive pub on hearing of our dilemma the landlord said pitch your tent in my field behind carpark saving our skins as we couldn't sleep in the car as it was rammed with tents and equipment phewwww .
Where was I during all this?
@@LoveSundays Please tell me he is your dad and not some random youtube commenter, that you've never met. I'm new to your channel
Yea that’s my dad 😂
@@LoveSundays you were well left home by then 😃
'Billy no mates table for one' made me laugh, that's the story of my life and i wouldn't have it any other way. And what a great move by this pub, bit of extra income and a great service for campers that like a few beers knowing they are safely parked on private land. Got to say mate bit jealous of you right now, got to get out a bit more. Banging video mate, all the best.
The problem is whenever I make a video and eat out in a pub or restaurant my wife watches the video and says I’ve then got to take her out 😂 my answer is and will always be “well you should’ve come camping with me then shouldn’t you 😂”
@@LoveSundays Quite right too. Question though.....I presume you cannot drink over the limit as you'd be drunk in charge technically?
As long as you’re not caught in the driving seat with your keys no crime has been committed. You can sleep in the back of you car/van no problem.
I spoke to the local constabulary who gave me this information but if I doubt just don’t drink
@Ste Srad Yes I know of someone who went back to his car to get something,he was drunk.he was not going to drive but nevertheless was nicked.
Thanks for the sticker Shaun! Great vlog as always.
Glad it got to you ok Bryan
Great video, what a nice woman at the pub!
I was in Perranuthnoe for 2 weeks last June and walked in to Marizion a few times,,, to get the PASTIES ! 👍🏴
The pub stop overs are brilliant - really great idea and as you say growing and growing which is great for us all. Great video, thank you - all the best, David 👍
Thanks David
The Marazion beach brings back memories of my JOGLE back in March, I had a sideways slant due to the wind haha😅Cheers for sharing dude, Cornwall is where it's at 🤟
That sounds a little gem of a place to park up for the night ....another little spot for me to jot down...for next year's adventures ....keep those vids going ...my vans just about finnished now ...can't wait for Spring to come lol ...take care ...and all the best and happy vanning .
Think you for presenting another superb blog these are very difficult times for people particularly with mental health issues which are increasing . I spend time trying to help others and I show them your videos and honest they really help you have a calm and enthusiastic manner and the scenery is breathtaking . I can’t imagine how long they take to produce but for people like me please when you can please keep them coming .
I really appreciate that Ian
What a calming video we have people stay over odd times in the car park where I work nobody minds along as its left clean
Thanks Ann
It's so nice to see the pubs being so accommodating! I wish I could afford to visit the UK and go camping overnight at a pub. Sounds like sooooo much fun! what a great way to travel all over the country and enjoy the sights! Besides that, the meal looks delicious! I can't even imagine calling up an establishment here in the USA and having them leave the gate unlocked so I could gain access whenever I arrived. Now, that's what I call service! Do you have to worry about sharks in the water while you're snorkeling over here? It's really great of you to clear all the old fishing line out of the water. It's the second time I've seen you do that. I admire how you respect the water that way. I didn't think you were going to get changed in front of me, but you can't blame a girl for hoping! LMAO!!! 🤣 Thanks for the wonderful journey. I was so much fun!!
We don’t really get many sharks over here not big ones anyway so it’s fairly safe.
Ha ha, yes we were waiting for you to change your clothes in front of us 😉
Thank you for such peaceful videos, we really enjoy them!!!! 💜 I'm a new subscriber!!!! 🙋🏼
Thank you and welcome to the channel
What a nice, relaxing video. I wasn’t worried about you receiving a ticket this time, or someone breaking in to your van!
Yes this one was a little less risky
The pub looked lovely and I think it’s great what they’re doing. Watching your van videos are making me want a van even more. Marazion is a lovely place to visit, some nice shops there.
Thanks Sarah
Just googled Marazion Sarah after reading your comment - we might have to check it out next time we're back in the UK. Even better there is a pub stop for vans nearby!
Great video Shaun! 👌
More Pubs and restaurants must do that because Vanlife it's a huge wave and it's going strong.
Yes I hope it catches on
Love the key lock safe,brilliant idea Shaun.
Thanks Andy
Funny watching this video after recently reading about the St Michael’s Line that stretches from Ireland, through England, France, Italy and Greece to mount Carmel in Haifa 😁👍🏻
Nice one mate, it's a good idea that with the pub. Glad you got the weather for the paddleboarding too.
And can't beat table for one, nothing beats your own company!
Yea table for one less time talking more time eating 😂
@@LoveSundays Exactly, and much cheaper too 🤣
All the family spent the day there today 👍🏻
Great place isn’t it
@@LoveSundays love it. Used to live in St Ives several years ago and now we come back once a year ❤ loving what you do… keep it up 👏👏👏
What a great service at that pub, cheers Shaun
Yea it’s lovely there
Another great Vid Shaun, Think it’s great you mix the video up, great little review and info to do with the camp site, plus your interest with paddle boarding too. Best of both worlds.
Love Saturdays lol 👊🏼
Thanks Ian
Great vid mate!!! A bit of advice.... extend your paddle more, handle 4"-5" above your head, you wont have to bend down so much to bury the paddle and will find standing much easier ;-)
Good tip thank you
Great soundtrack mate
Thank you
Cannot beat a good pub stop, great video. We are doing one next week.
Cracking little video again shaun, I’ve not been in the coach & horses for years it was a lovely little pub then, should have a look really. Was thinking don’t chill for to long you don’t know where you’ll drift to 😂😂 keep up the good work mate your almost at 20k subscribers good on you 👍👍
Thanks Jon, yea I’m so happy with the growth recently. Thanks for all the support over the years
@@LoveSundays I’m really happy for you mate I truely am, and I’ll continue to support you as long as you on you tube 👍👍
The wife and I went to the coach and horses a few weeks ago whilst staying in St Hilary we found the service and the food spot on. I also had a rump which was cooked exactly as I requested and very tender and juicy. There's a cut of meat for every taste, personally I like rib eye or rump as I like the fat content. Fillet is too dry for me unless encased in pastry Wellington style. Love your content 👌🏻
Thank you glad you’re enjoying the videos
Love Sundays , now love Saturday mornings . 🙂 Looked the perfect morning for a paddleboard . Lets see more of you on the board. First found your community when i was looking at paddle boarding vids on youTube. Never been to that part of Cornwall , andI have no excuse. Anyway as always nice vid to wake up too. Im hoping to go paddle boarding tis afternoon. Oh Did I get a sticker ??????????
Thanks mate
what a great place to be a youtuber .... you are great and Cornwall is fantastic... = success
Thanks John
The North Inn at Pendeen have a field they use as a campsite, good food (and ales…) & decent showers
Thanks I’ll check them out
One of my favourite place is the mount! I’m lucky enough to have family a bit further down. So visit often
It’s very picturesque isn’t it
Fab vlog. Deffo noting that pub down for a stop off. Love st Michaels mount such a beautiful area. We just got a kayak so can't wait to do adventures like this 👍🏻🏴👍🏻
Kayaks are so much fun and you can even take a picnic on the back paddle out to somewhere on your own and have lunch
@@LoveSundays wow didn't even think of that now that is a plan for next year 👍🏻🏴👍🏻 keep the amazing vlogs coming 👍🏻
Brilliant video mate that pub and camp site is in the perfect spot for camping for visiting the towns around there you could use it a base go out for the day keep up the good work mate
Thanks Steven
Sounds a great place. Cheers.
That is a brilliant idea everyone wins
Would I stop there ... Meh? Only 3 miles from home! LOL. 7am alarm call two hours later made me laugh. Right on M8. 👍
I’m glad someone get my humour 😂
Another lovely adventure. And wonderful service at the pub 😊👍🏻
Thanks Torunn it was a really nice couple of days
Nice vlog mate,we’ve been using pub stops for a good few years now but noticed that some are jumping on the bandwagon like the campsites and putting their prices up, even come across one that wanted £20.00 for the night so £8.00 was a good price, always worth checking to see how much they want especially if you’re going to eat there could end up an expensive evening 🥴
Thanks mark
Great video as always Shaun looks such an awesome pub will have to check it out next time I'm down. Also thank you so much for the sticker your too kind mate. Have a great week mate.
Thanks Scott glad you like the sticker. If you stick it on your van send me a picture on Instagram @lovesundays84
Thanks, might have a look in there when we`re down in Hayle in April
It’s definitely worth a stop off Nick
@@LoveSundays Thanks
Another great video Shaun, received my sticker today. Thank you 👍
Cheers Graham
OMD I can’t wait to do this - Lurrv PZ & Marazion 🎉
What a great idea a pub with a camp site were you can get a meal have a few beers sleep there in your van and don't have to worry about been caught for DUI
Yes it’s something I hope more pubs with take on
Great video
Hi just found your channel. Its great, really gave me some ideas & tips. To protect yourself use a dry powder fire extinguisher by spraying it into their face. It can't be classed as a "weapon" & won't really hurt them ... It works. We live in north Devon & have just bought a Transit to convert to a day camper to explore this beautiful area with our puppy ❤️😍👍
That’s a great tip thank you. Enjoy your transit conversion and welcome to the channel
Ah thanks for reply❤️😍. We are pensioners & really looking forward to our new adventures.
Great video. I’ve been to St Michael’s Castle and it pissed down for the whole week. 🤦🏻♂️👍🏻
That’s a shame can’t help the weather sometimes I hope you still had a good time though
@@LoveSundays It was a great week, plenty of good pubs and Pasties 🤤
Hey, a shout out from Tasmania, I am from the UK a long time ago and would love you to be a bit more specific about where you are so we can follow your journey. Doing a great job. Maybe a trip here one day it’s a very special place. Nigel and Carolyn.
Hi Nigel, I normally post the location in the description of the video. I’ve just started using What3Words
Great content, relaxed and informative 👌
Thank you
excellent video mate. Hold your Paddle the other way it works better 👍
Right on cheers
I did the same thing for ages 👍
Great video, nice to see one of your chilled out videos again 👍🏻 (you didn’t think I was going to get changed infront of you did you 😂😂😂)
Thank you
Great stuff Shaun 👍 👏
Thanks Andrew
Great video, I’ll visit that pub looks great. Keep up your videos and ideas. 👍🥟🦊
Cheers Jon 🦊
Your videos are great mate! I’m looking at doing a van build and it’s good to find someone doing exactly what I want to do down Cornwall. Keep them coming 🤜
Thanks mate
Another lovely video Shaun, great review and as always providing stunning views of lovely Cornwall as well as suggestions of where to go and where to stay....keep doing what you're doing 👍
Thanks Sarah
Just come over to your channel. Love Cornwall mate. Go every year for fathers day st Michaels mount is always on the list to see. Oh and healeys 😉. Still learnjng to oaddle board and crack the standing up part. Great campsite too. Thats a handy place to know as when we go to st ives we camp. Great video
ATB Adam 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Adam welcome to the channel
Try the Brit Stops book ,loads of parkups all over the UK :)
Good advice thanks Robert
Nice one mate, cant wit to finish off my van/bus/camper, and I will be going to Cornwell in it!
Where’s Cornwell? 😂
OOPS Cornwall
@@TerryTrackerChannel 😂
Funny seeing that pub cause i pass it most times with my parents and only been in there once for a Christmas dinner , funny cause i always keep an eye out for your van in penzance if your passing through :)
Make sure you give me a wave if you see my driving through
@@LoveSundays will do mate , just so many white vans around lol
I know 😂 just look for the roof deck
Interesting, cool video.
Thank you
Awesome video, Shaun... I'd say you totally found your nitch, eh ? lol Staying at those pubs is something we wanna do once I retire and we start traveling the country over here... Maybe not necessarily pubs, but there's a thing over here called Harvest Host that allows dry campers to stay at different places like farms, vineyards, golf courses and places like that... It's pretty cool from what I've seen but we haven't done it yet... Fortunately I have Kristi as a navigator because I've got your navigation skills... hahaha God bless, buddy...
Hi Kevin, good to hear from you does this mean you’re back on UA-cam 😮 I’ll check out your video
@@LoveSundays lol yea we are back and are hoping to be a little more consistent for a while. Our break was a little longer than we thought. Lol 😝
Great video as always Shaun, the sea looked so calm. I visited St Michaels mount last month, loved it. 😊
Nice one mate
Thanks mate
Looks like some top Nosh there mate.
It was 😊
@@LoveSundays Anything today I need a armchair ride out 😆
I have heard horror stories of people being in there car or vans in a pub car park. If you have the keys on you, the police can prosecute for being in charge of a vehicle under the influence. If you can leave the keys inside the pub, you would be beter protected? But you would have it have easy access to your keys in the morning?
There just not enough police to police it though 🤷🏼♂️
Can't beat a cornish steak now that pub well from my trips to the lizard and penzance
Thanks dude
Thanks Chris
I just came across your channel & it’s incredible!! I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching all your old videos and future ones as well!! Cheers! ❤
Thank you and welcome to the channel
Great vlog in the fact that you can camp at the pub and the partake of the pub facilities like food and drinks if u like which I realise you did but then to pay an extra £8 for the privilege doesn’t really inspire me to do what you did if they adopted the continental aire de repose scheme I wud be more willing to support the pub but I guess they have to diversify is their reasoning for charging for the overnight fee but still a good vlog and hopefully a few more like this
Such a good vlog dude and such a good travel trip 👍👍 nice sup session 👍👍
Cheers
Great video. Making me home sick, as I am originally from Helston. Get on!😀
Where do you live now Terry?
I have eaten in there but not stayed so thanks for the heads up and insight. Do enjoy this side away from the hustle and bustle of St Ives 🚐🏄♂️🌊
That sounds like a great far priced pub providing you eat there & why not 👍
Yes and it was lovely too
Great content, downloaded the app, didn't know about that but couldn't find this place on the app.
The app has a red symbol at this location and it’s in Rosudgeon
TIP -Hang up a stale bread stick to prevent excess moisture in your van 👌
How lovely the pub owners allowing van-lifers to stay if they phone ahead 👍🏼
Great isn’t it 😊

Thank you
I’ve seen bigger vanlifes, I’ve seen more expensive vanlifes, but I’ve never seen a cooler more cosy vanlife ❤
Cheers Adam
Somewhere in another van channel ( probably John and Mandy) there was an app you could get that lists all the pubs that will do this.
I’ll have to check that out
Recently come across ur video good interesting watch mate
Thanks Phil
Thanks I got my sticker 👍🏼
You’re welcome mate
there is an offence called "Drunk in charge of a vehicle" If you have paid to stay at a camp sight you have some evidence you were not intending to drive but if you are wild camping in a layby for example and you have a few drinks you are entering dodgy ground
Even if you are on private land?
@@chrisstephens6194 depends
@@phililpb on
As long as they don’t catch you drunk in the drivers seat with your keys in your hand there’s no law broken. Else anyone on ca camping holiday in a tent or van frunk with there keys on them would be breaking the law.
@@chrisstephens6194 for example a private car park that has public access
Love you vids dude! When you going to venture up somerset way haha
Maybe next summer
Yes. As if u got the keys u can still get done for drink driving
Hmmm, I wonder if there are any pubs here in the US allow overnight camping. That’s pretty cool.
ive been following since 1500 subs!

What a great place and great hospitality,thanks for sharing, I don’t have a van yet but hoping to have one for next year, did you build your van, St Michaels Mount is very interesting
Yes I built my van myself and I made a video about how much it cost to put it all together. It was a pretty cheap conversion
@@LoveSundays Thankyou, I’ll go back to your earlier videos and find it 👍👍
