    Doing your own catering at week-enders

    One thing you can almost guarantee after every week-ender is the complaints about the generally low standard of food available on site. The obvious alternative is to prepare your own meals but there are some problems and limitations such as:

    - limited cooking facilities in chalets
    - the need to bring all the ingredients with you or buy them on site
    - lack of time for cooking (what with all the dancin' and stuff)
    - dancing makes you hungry so you really need decent meals, not just snacks

    It is however still possible to cook up some decent nosh with a little crafty advance planning so what tips, ingredients, meals etc. would forumites like to share to help others avoid the horrors of the Pontins canteen and assorted dodgy on site take-aways. What meals are the favoured by those who do their own cooking? What food items do you always take with you? What tips can you suggest for the forumites book of week-ender chalet cooking?

    At Southport we always visit the local Morrisons and fill up cartons from the huge fresh salad bar... loads of selections pasta mixes rice mixes etc and then freshly cooked pies from the bakery and 2 hot chickens cooked on a spit.

    This creates immediately a variety of tasty meals all weekend.And its cheap compared to southern prices !!!

    We try and avoid lots of actual cooking...... microwaved new potatos add a bit of heat to the salads.

    we often eat out for one meal as well.

    Then to keep the energy levels up late on, its bars of chocolate and/or bananas.

    Plenty red bull style drinks too.





    A late night/early morning visit to Tiggerbabes place always results in delicious munchies too....mmmmm


    plus theres always loads of Marshmallows eh Jamie?
