Sausages and burgers one night, chicken and salad the next, steak and new potatoes, BBQ fish and salad.

Sounds a great plan, but without the use of a decent size freezer, how do you keep a weeks worth of meat/fish? Last year we ended up going to Tesco pretty much every day (Admittedly that was as much for beer than anything else).

Intrigued how 7 people travelled with the caravan - either you have a people carrier (time to downsize, maybe?), as there are only seatbelts for 5 in a car, or you came in a convoy (so next time, choose a site that only allows one vehicle).

Two-pot cooking (we have 2 rings) works for us when we have visitors: some variety of stew / mince-y thing in one pot, and potatoes or pasta or boil-in-the-bag rice in the other. Some sites do food to take away - at Bunchrew, near Inverness, there's a small hut where we ordered up chips & we cooked our steak in the MH to fit with when they'd be ready. At Drum Mhor outside Edinburgh, there are pizzas on site at high season. Many family sites have a fish n chip van at least one night a week. We have a supermarket cool bag with us, which keeps things hot while we walk back (excellent fish & chips at Kirkcudbright, but a short walk away).

WWhen cooking, I used to put the side bunk up, it was a pulman bunk that went up over the side dinette. Gave me loads of room for chopping, dishing up etc. Mum and dad never cooked in their van, they just ate what I cooked So really I catered for 4 adults, 3 very large teenage lads and a vegetarian daughter. Never had a problem at all.

Actually, some of our favourite holiday meals involve nice bread, a good runny Brie, good quality cooked meats, a few pickled onions and a bag of ready washed salad.
