Catering at the moot...

[Wooky]

Hello to all,

Can anyone enlighten me as to what to expect regarding food supplies/cooking etc.? It's just that I've not seen any advice about this (unless I missed it which is possible) and I'm wondering what to bring foodwise, e.g. how much to self-cater/cook over fire/stove vs. anything that is available on site. A mix might not be bad. Got to make sure my two kids are food-content!

Any info appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

James (coming from Brighton)

There's no on site food at the moot apart from the hangi on the last night.

Basically it's all self catering. There's a large Tescos and a Lidls at Bridgend which is about a 20 minute drive away so you don't need to worry too much about running short of food for the kids

Thanks Mesquite for your prompt and helpful reply. I know where I'm at now.

I wasn't in a rush when I went there

you have to factor in "getting lost trying to follow Tony's directions" time.

Hmmph !
Well I managed to find Brackla, Coychurch, Hemstone and Treos and was well on my way to Pencoed before I thought. "I *know* this is wrong !" , .........and I was only doing a quick jaunt to Tesco

This time I'd taking an Atlas

Tip;

DO NOT visit the KFC just before the Ogmore roundabout just before Merthyr Mawr. I fell for it twice in the last 2 weeks 'cos I was starving. I had one of those super spicy things on a stick meal, on the telly it looks like a skewer with large chunks of succulent spicy chicken...in reality it was like four dried out popcorn chicken things on a cocktail stick. Pathetic... & rude service too. Ycha fi !

Take an hour out...go to Simons Plaice in Llantwit Major for fantastic fish & chips & eat them on the pebble beach, lovely!

Rather than a trip to llantwit major there is a multiple award winning chip shop ( Finnegans) in the Broadlands estate, 5 mins from the site. Also quite a decent pub to grab a swift half in whilst your there!!
I'll take a nimble down to the site tonight and let you know how the conditions are under foot if you want. Bloody hasn't stopped raining here yet!!!
