Some of you will remember Eva from Saturday mornings when she served you at the Bear Van. Many of you will have tasted her incredible cakes from her time working as sous baker to . Eva was a very special and much-loved member of Team Bear, and still a great friend.

On 17th February she is doing something quite incredible for us. She’s having 16 inches of her precious hair cut off in memory of Nigel, to raise funds and awareness for 2 charities:

- , who make real hair wigs for young people with cancer.
- , who did so much to try and help Nigel on that fateful day.

So far our wonderful community has raised over £8800 for Cornwall Air Ambulance. This year my target is to make that £10,000. I really hope Eva’s enormously kind gesture will help us get closer to that.

If you can, please sponsor her to give her a boost before the big hair cut day, and to help us reach our fundraising goal. Each Air Ambulance mission costs on average £5000. So far we have paid for Nigel’s mission, and now we are well over half way to paying for one more and hopefully giving someone else a chance at life. Let’s get to £10,000 this year.

The sponsorship link is in our Bio ⬆️, and I’ll also put it in Stories so you can click through.

Thank you very much,

Lucy, Harris, Swift and Eva x

- It’s nearly 9 months since Harris and Swift saw their Daddy, still so hard to accept 😔

SOLD

It has been a dream to sell speciality coffee and home-baking from our beautiful vintage van by the sea. We had the best 5 years serving our lovely customers and working with our amazing team. But sadly I have decided it is too much for me to continue on my own.

So, the Bear Van is for sale. If you are interested please get in touch by email, [email protected]. The van is also listed on Ebay, link in bio.

Our sea view trading pitch in St Mawes, Cornwall is also available by separate negotiation with English Heritage. We would love to find someone who wants to take on both so the sea view coffee and cake dream can continue. The people of St Mawes miss it. I will make the relevant introductions to anyone interested in van and pitch. (Please don’t contact me if you are interested in pitch only).

The van is in excellent working order and drives well. It has been professionally fitted out as a coffee business. All espresso coffee making equipment is included in the sale (La Marzocco 2 group head machine and 2 x Mythos One grinders). This is a full turn key sale so you would only need to stock the van before opening for business. You could definitely catch the end of the 2024 season!

For more information, photos and videos, email [email protected]

🤍🤍🤍

On Monday 20th May, my wonderful husband Nigel, much-loved father to our two small children, went out for a motorcycle ride on a beautiful spring morning and never came home. He was tragically killed in a road traffic accident in the Ladock Valley, near Truro.

The most thoughtful, kind and generous man, Nigel adored his family and we adored him. It is unbearable to think about life without ‘Daddy’. A loving husband, father, son and brother, he was endlessly thoughtful in all his actions, holding my hand through everything in life. Now when I need him the most, he is not here. It is utterly heart breaking, but I am so thankful to feel that through our children he will always be with us.

Nigel worked incredibly hard his whole life. He had many careers including project manager, flying instructor, First Officer with the Air Ambulance, and latterly small business owner. After we moved to Cornwall, Nigel followed his passion for coffee and in 2019 set up Bear Cornwall, serving speciality coffee and home baking from a vintage Citroen van by St Mawes Castle.

His loss will be felt throughout our whole community. Everyone knew and loved him and his team; the big-hearted man and the best boss, who made the best coffee on the Roseland.

We will miss him for the rest of our lives.

Eleanor’s in the van today 🤩 If you’ve got dogs, she’s your girl, she loves them!

And just look at that view. We’ve got sun. The coffee machine is on. There are lemon and blueberry cakes, and Chelsea buns on the counter. And a fully stocked cake cabinet. Life’s good.

See you later!

We are open 8:30am - 4pm, 7 days a week, by St Mawes Castle, TR2 5DE.

Coolest (cutest) vehicle at the van last week 🐞

What will it be this week? It’s the St Mawes Classic Car Festival so excellent potential. If you’re in the village, keep a look out for lots of beautiful vintage cars. And if you’re the owner of one, please bring it up to the van to say hi. Nigel loves a classic vehicle (as you might have guessed from our Citroen HY van). The castle and sea behind also make an excellent backdrop for a photo opportunity!

We are open 8:30am - 4pm, 7 days a week, by St Mawes Castle, TR2 5DE.
