You lovely lot are so fab, I'm after another bit of advice!

We can't afford to buy a kitchen set up this time around, but need a table of some sort.  We're thinking of getting a simple stand for the hob (got an eye on one in go outdoors in the sale next week, so that's worted), but would like a decent height table for food prep and eating next to (and board games!).  Decent height for camping chairs that is!

We'd also love it to fold down as small as possible (who wouldn't!) - as we've already bought a lovely new big tent AND a posh double height airbed, and I'm worried about space in the car as it is!! lol

Any advice or recommendations would be great. Doesn't have to be HUGE, just usable!

We have had an array of tables but have finally settled on the aluminium roll top ones.  Ours are hi gear ones and can't remember how much we paid for them, but they fold into a long thin bag, similar to a tube I suppose.  I aren't describing this very well am I!

This is the single one but we have the double one as well.  They aren't particularly cheap although i don't remember paying that much for them, must have been a 20% off day.  I really like them and are so much easier to pack than a flat table with fold down legs. 

We've got the large Vango aluminim roll top table and it's really good.  It's rock solid and has 1 adjustable leg, which is really all you need. Depending on our circumstances, we either leave it in the extension for food prep, or have it inside the tent for games etc. We've had it 3 years and are really impressed with it.

It folds into it's own bag which is about 8" x 8" x 3 ft. I also bought a piece of plastic tablecover to fit and roll that in the bag with the table.

Thanks everyone, some great advice and recommendations. What's the name of the ebay store for Kampa?
