People are often surprised when I tell them that there’s more to cooking in a campervan than just BBQs or beans and sausages!
Don’t get me wrong we all love a BBQ. What could be better than setting up camp, lighting the coals and sitting back with a glass of wine or Somerset cider.
We highly recommend The Butchers Block for locally sourced meat. Please let us know if you want a BBQ pack and we’ll have it ready in the fridge for when you pick up your hire campervan.
If you want to test your culinary skills, you’ll find all our vans come fully equipped with everything you need to whip up a feast.
Here are few of our favourites.
1. Start your day right with tasty Overnight Oats for breakfast
What better way to start the day than with a healthy, fruity breakfast and overnight oats are a doddle to prepare the night before. No cooking required!

2. Spicy salad for lunch with a Cajun Chicken Salad for two
Campervan cooking delicious chicken salad
Spicy chicken salad in under 20 minutes? Yes please.
To season the chicken you will need:
Dessert spoon paprika

Sliced red onion
1 Baby gem lettuce, leaves kept whole

For the Dressing mix
1 teaspoon of the seasoning

To make, roll the chicken in the seasoning (saving a spoon for the dressing) fry in a spoon of olive oil on a low heat for four minutes each side until browned.
