How to have an easy self-catering holiday
Do you dread the cooking part of a self-catering holiday? Mastering the art of arriving at a holiday cottage and feeling at home in the kitchen straight away is an easy skill to learn. Follow these top tips to take the stress out of preparing family meals during your holiday.
1. Order a grocery delivery to arrive on the first evening of your holiday.
Say goodbye to the hassle of trying to pack groceries from home, not having enough space in the car and worrying that the chilled items are going to overheat during your journey. Instead, opt for the convenience of pre-ordering a supermarket delivery to coincide with your arrival. This is so much easier than taking lots of food with you….and far better than spending some of your precious holiday going to the supermarket.
2. Simple Suppers for Arrival Night
After travelling to your holiday cottage, you’ll want to relax straight away – and no doubt the children will be clamouring for food as soon as you walk through the door. Take a fuss-free meal with you for your first evening—a hearty dish like classic Bolognese and pasta is sure to satisfy hungry tummies and leave you with more time to unwind and get into holiday mode.
3. Have some breakfast treats
Something as simple as switching up breakfast can really add to the holiday mood. Popping a few croissants into the oven and serving on the first morning of your holiday can ensure that your day gets off to a flying start and fuel hungry tummies for the adventures the lie ahead.
4. Dine Like a Local
Give yourself permission to take a break from kitchen duties and visit a family friendly local Cotswolds village pub. There are many within easy reach of the Lower Mill Estate. Have a look at some of our recommended places to eat.
