Beachball if you want to go environmentally friendly you could give up frozen foods and go for air dried, and with fish you would be twice blessed. Very long BBE dates too. The nearest slow food market and town is Ludlow.

That looks like dried kapenta, a favourite snack on the bar. Every pub you went into in Rhodesia had a bowl on the counter and you helped yourself.
 
I thought the whole point of fishing was to catch your supper, take it home and cook it?
My brother John fishes for Salmon and Sea trout and he usually takes them home depending on the size and weight because he records his catch . ๐Ÿ‘
 
You wonโ€™t be wanting any of Icelands favourite delicacy then. Fermented shark!
Never heard of it. Is it similar to rollmops? However you use shark meat instead of prawns in a "prawn" cocktail you would swear that it was prawns. Another substitute is monkfish. I have no intention of even trying jellied eels and I have put some strange stuff down my gullet in the past. LOL! ๐Ÿ˜€
 
In Australia we had smashing fish and chips a couple of times. Very nice buttered cod turned out to be shark. Perhaps they donโ€™t have cod, I don know.

No roll mops are tasty. That stuff is ugh, but the neat spirit after each mouthful helps no end.
 
For John Cloughie,
I think your still at Devizes ! We were thinking of going down for Xmas, but price hike to ยฃ40 per pitch has overridden the trip. Can yo let me know, how the Three magpies pub is, last time I went it was Ok but cold reception. I hope the Barge was good though.
Thanks Hutch.

We went there in early October for a lunch still a nice atmosphere with friendly staff and good food. Beer wasnโ€™t bad either ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ

Trip Advisor recent reviews still good. Overall 4 stars.

PS Three Magpies have campsite with hard standings. Easy walk back to van.

We just had 4 nights. The site and location was really nice. But the pitch was small. As the grass was wet I could not put the car on it so had to shoe horn it onto the hard standing.

Marj did not feel very well so we never ate out as intended. We had chicken 3 nights running as that was all she felt like. But the pub is ideally located a short walk away.

So sorry, not much help.

We also had an eventful time with the caravan, but as I am just off to skittles, more later.

Thanks, its for my info , also thanks Clive,
Also our first time away at a Xmas. But family things are changing, so as usual nothing planned, I don't know how BeachBall can plan that far ahead.

Me too; and when we had plans they went awry before getting away in too many instances. Hence our decision to sell the caravan.

We always book in advance to make sure we have a great hardstanding service pitch near the toilet block sometimes we might have to change a booking depending on our two Granddaughters one might be getting in engage soon
