What to eat during hotel stay

[LoopyLucyLou10]

Not aibu just posting for traffic.

Our kitchen had a leak and the entire kitchen needs to be ripped out and replaced. Landlord has put us in a hotel for 4 days so the workmen can replace the kitchen including all units and flooring.

The only problem we have is that the hotels restaurant is closed due to covid, they aren't even operating room service. No cooking facilities whatsoever. My daughter has food allergies: all dairy, potato, tomato, kiwi, peanuts, MSG, oranges, shellfish, peaches, aubergine, peppers and cocoa. I have no idea what to feed her with absolutely no cooking facilities. Takeaways aren't an option due to the long list of ingredients and she can't have and the MSG.

Any ideas what to do for food while we are stuck in a hotel for a few days? No family nearby so no way to have meals with them. We won't have a fridge or any cooking facilities. Staying at home isn't an option either, we have to be out of the property whilst the work takes place.

Thank you in advance!

(The hob has just one plate and cost under £50 from Argos)

Why do you have to be out of the house? If you’re going to a hotel to live on crackers and packaged supermarket sandwiches why can’t you stay at home and do that? People don’t usually stay in a hotel when they have a new kitchen put in. It’s only a few days and you can move a microwave and small fridge into the hallway of living room for the few days you’ll have no kitchen. I can understand being moved to a hotel if there’s no bathroom. A toilet is a lot more essential than hot food for 4 days.

single ring electric hob from Amazon on nxt day delivery £14.99 toaster ect food shop as normal but daily as no fridge?

I doubt the hotel will be busy so I’m sure if you explain your situation, and that takeaways will be difficult with your DD’s allergies, they will help you out. Maybe put a microwave in a corner of the restaurant for you to access and eat there as I doubt they’d want you preparing food in your room (cooking smells, mess etc).

If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

Amazon prime do a hotplate - get it sent to the hotel....do t forget to take pots and utensils with you. Good luck x

Soup maker and a sandwich toaster.
I make little gram flour flat rolls in my sandwich toaster and soup maker you just plug in and switch on . Veg soup you can add tinned meat to . But basic but easy and you can play with it and eat stuff you know will not produce allergy problems.

Order an egg boiler from Argos, they do boiled & poached eggs.

A halogen oven will do most things, I even make toasted sandwiches in mine, you can do bacon & stuff for breakfast or google slow cooker breakfast, you put everything in the slow cooker the night before & when you get up you have a full cooked breakfast. Take plates, mugs, cutlery, some kitchen roll, washing up liquid, small bin bags, salt, pepper & sauces. Get some slow cooker liners if you buy a slow cooker, save you having to scrub it out.

Could u get a little mini fridge u plug in and just get some things you can eat (from that long list I could never remember every single thing sorry ) that are cooked like ham , gf bread or whatever you can eat /she can eat -maybe gf bread , some 'milk-oat milk or whatever alternative you use , what do you usually eat ? There must be something you can do ? Can you bring the kettle from home and make yourself tea for example ? Some ideas are :
Salads that you buy premade in a supermarket or bags of salad
Fruit that she isn't allergic too (I'm not sure what that could be but I'm sure there is something she eats /can eat)
Hard boiled eggs if u can have those?
Free from milk (whatever u use)
Free from anything that doesn't require refrigerator e.g. gf bread or wraps filled with things like ham or meat of some kind
Or maybe a ready cooked chicken if able /no msg /allergens ?
It might be limited but it might be do able .
I am unsure of you can eat rice noodles but they only require a kettle and boiling waterand a lot of people do pot noodles with them in jam jars with chopped up veg and sauce
Uht yoghirts like soya yoghurts maybe ? Or jelly ?
I'm sorry if I've not included things she can have but I've tried my best to be helpful but it was a long laundry list xx

Ps wilko do a multi looker for £20 ish if you search multicooker x

Cooker*

May have been suggested already, but if kitchen is closed it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask hotel to provide a microwave. Or get one delivered via Amazon if they wont.

Is there a supermarket nearby? If you want something hot, some do rotisserie chickens and other stuff to go.

Your landlord should be doing better though.

Do explain the situation to the hotel, they may be able to help.

If not a panini press or George forman can be used to cook meats, and same for electric steamers if you have one or can borrow one.

Maybe something like this op:
