Ok we are leaving here Sun morning and have around 6 hour drive to hotel.
I have swapped some Tesco vouchers to spend on a lovely meal out Sun night ( well pleased with that ).
6 am crossing to Calais followed by long long drive prob 10-12 hours.
We have a hotel booked that night to rest but not booked food.
Early start Monday morning and prob 5-6 hr drive (all times inc stops ).
We are a family of 5 , me dc x 3 .
I feel like I need to cater for Duke of ed type trip ! Am thinking I do NOT want to paying a fortune at French motorway services for pies sandwiches ect, but equally I cannot pack sandwiches on sat and still be eating them on Tue ??
Ive thought about the type of thing we can add water to in hotel ect but everything is full of salt and I have renal disease so cannot eat salt.
I can sort myself out separately but so many packaged foods are highly processed and full of salt.
It wont do family any harm to consume some junk for a few days and I can pack fruit ect too but any tips on a meal ideas ect for 3 days would be fab!!!
