self-catering at Butlins - what do we need to take?

[Tommy]

on the list, so far, we have

cork screw

what else do we need?

tea towels
washing up liquid
condiments
lots of toilet roll
an air freshener

although you got most important thing

food, drink ear plugs.

towels. extra pillows.

lol at ear plugs.

We live on a main road which is the way home from city centre to suburbia so we are used to drunk marauders late at night

what about pots and pans?

no they are included. what 'grade' you gone for?

All pots, cutelry, cooking utensils included except corkscrew they have often sold out at the shop

take a tin opener as well. as the ones they provide are useless. and one good all purpose sharp knife.

we are in a silver apartment - best we could get having only booked last week!

some kitchen roll too

Mugs and decent sized glasses, they usually have little tea caps and tiny glasses.

Plastic tumblers for kids if appropriate.
rubbish bags,

Anti bac spray or wipes.

If you have a favorite frying pan or like a big pot take them if you have space, you will get a standard 3 pot set.

A good sharp knife and a clean chopping board.

Hand wash or soap for bathroom and kitchen and hand towels.

You wil have a ,moicrowave so any dishes you like to use with them.

All depends how much cooking you intensd to do

yes do take your own mugs if you are used to drinking from mugs.

and plastic tumblers if you use them. i al;ways end up buying those two items there and its costs a lot £££

to be honest, I'm not planning to do much cooking but will need a few things for the DSs

Will there will a little freezer part of the fridge that I can put ice packs in?

yes

haven't been to butlins but was at pontins for a dancing weekend last year. Assume they are similar, and agree with all that the others have written. Appreciate you're not planning on doing much cooking, btu there wasn't huge variety of places to eat, so if you are cooking between now and then, would suggest making double and freezing a portion to take with you. The oven and rings were pretty naff in our apartment, would still be there now if we'd been waiting for our spag bols and curries to cook - but ok for reheating esp as had microwave. Again, we were at Pontins, but as pleasantly surprised that they had a reasonably priced supermarket on site, which sold most things.

thanks all - I'm sure we would have forgotten most of those !

sandwhich bags and tubs if you want to take drinks out ie for dc

Stock cubes and herbs.
