What Do I Eat?

Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied.  If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking.  For breakfast we supply cereals, toast, tea and coffee.  Lunch is usually a self-serve sandwich and salads in the evening we have a cooked dinner.  We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops.
