Campervan Eating Out: Don't be Afraid to 'Tapas-Up' Your Meal

4th August 2016summerbourne

Sometimes, when Glyn and I are eating out in a cafe or restaurant we don’t want to have just one big main course each – we want to try several smaller dishes and this is when we say “Let’s Tapas-it-Up!” Tapas is a Spanish cuisine but here is a way that you can do this in any restaurant and it makes for a much more interesting meal…

Found this on Buzzfeed and thought some of these food ideas would be great for the campervan – like the Walking Tacos. I just have to try the Teddy Bear pancakes and the pancake lollipops with the yoghurt-based Stack Pancakes mix that will be in my new Camper Cookie recipe book. Food should be fun too!

Great Cafe for Campervanners at Oxford Modern Art Gallery

9th March 20165th April 2023summerbourne

Laid back cafe in the middle of Oxford with lovely staff and reasonably priced healthy food. Not so easy to find if you don’t know Oxford but if you walk through Marks & Spencers store on the main shopping parade and go out of the doors at the back, you will see the cafe (grey building) immediately on your right. Definitely worth a visit!

Cmpervan Days Out: Christmas Day at a Haunted Pub

27th December 2015summerbourne

Campervan Days Out: So how was your Christmas day? I hope you had a good one and got to eat some lovely, nourishing winter food. I love the Christmas roast and we often pop out for turkey carverys throughout the year as well.

This year my partner, Glyn, and I stayed at home for Christmas day in our cosy little cottage and will do our visiting in the Twixmas time and New Year. However, we continued our Christmas day tradition of having a walk around Avebury stone circle before going home for lunch even though it was a bit wet.
