We're heading to Pachacaid and i've just checked the website and unfortunately states "No BBQ's allowed". Not a huge deal as we're staying in one of these mobile home jobbies so will have a full kitchen.

I doubt I will go hungry :-)

For the main meal I usually cook steak, strips of chicken or duck, pork fillet or occasionally lamb steaks, or prawns, or lardons naturel (unsmoked bacon bits) on a gas barbeque (you could use a large frying pan) in olive oil with whole cloves of garlic. Sometimes I sprinkle herbs de provence over the meat just before cooking. I cook locally grown courgettes (the round ones are really yummy), peppers, tomotoes etc along side the meat. Served with salad and often chips bought from the site restuarant/takeaway or pasta and french bread. We rarely have room for dessert but I always have fruit available. All washed down with inexpensive wine.

Our light meal normally in the heat of the day, is usually whatever fresh fruit is available, melon, peaches etc with cheeses and pate and fresh bread.

I don`t like anymore work than necessary on holiday and find that these meals are easy to buy for and easy to prepare and clean up after. I have always found a wonderful variety of fresh fruits, salads and breads readily available so there is plenty of combinations to choose from each day. And plenty of choices for any fussy eaters amongst the kids (of all ages lol)

Have a great holiday

PLEASE STOP IT...I've got too long to wait till I get there!

I can't speak for Nottingham, but here in Edinburgh it's perfectly possible to eat what most of the above posts mention!

In fact -   'the most simple thing to do in the evenings is just to have some fresh french bread, some goats cheese, some olives and some beautfully ripe vine tomatoes. Open a bottle of wine and just pick at the food. Heaven! '   is very much the sort of thing we eat lots of!

But Edinburgh is not France, so I know what you mean, lol!
