#NC500 #VanLife #VeganFoodUK Our crazy UK Van Life Scotland adventure continues on the North Coast 500 / NC500
Our UK Van Life journey in this episode goes from Wick to John O' Groats to Dunnet Head to Tongue (yep that's a town on the North Coast 500 road trip )
Today we reached the most northerly point, and it's not John O'Groats . In our beloved campervan Frida, we visited the most Northerly Cafe on mainland Great Britain in Scotland (also on the NC500 ) and had the most northerly vegan meal
We got a glimpse of Scottish puffins and met an incredible deaf dog who is also a van lifer 🐕
The park-up was Craggan Hotel near Tongue AND the cafe where we ate the plant-based soup was the Windhaven Cafe in Dunnet

As always a lovely video. The reaction of the staff at the little cafe is just how a lot of places used to be a few years ago. The more people ask for vegan options in remote places, the sooner everywhere will realise it’s really not that difficult to cater for us. As Janine said baked beans on toast. In the end they had a soup which turned out to be vegan anyway so the next vegans that go in will have that offered to them. You’ve started a little ripple affect there !! They’d best stock up on that soup 😂

I love that the café didn't cater for vegans but had soya milk and served vegan vegetable soup without realising it! I've always loved soup and up there I bet they sell plenty of it. It does show that it's not that hard to have vegan options that have mass appeal. Love your adventures. I never realised that Dunnet Head was actually the most northerly point. I'm going to look up to see why we have all been conned into believing it's John O'Groats!

@ThoseHappyDays
@ThoseHappyDays 3 года назад
I mean, in the end, they were lovely in that cafe. But at the start they weren't the best, but as you say, it was a lack of understanding what being vegan is. We had lots of conversations with them anyway and it will be different for the next two vegans who wander in there

John O'Groats is the most Northeasterly point of mainland UK. It is also the farthest point from Land's End. ☺️ That's why its the one most people talk about. Also Land's End is the most Southwesterly point, the most southern point in actually Lizard Point. ☺️ I plan to walk from LE to JoG next year, I have done a lot of research recently. Lol.
