What to eat while camping

From make‑ahead breakfasts and easy lunches to barbecue dinners, snacks and simple treats, this guide is full of practical ideas designed for relaxed camping days. Think minimal prep, maximum flavour, and food that’s easy to pack, cook and enjoy wherever you set up camp.

Start the day well with simple, satisfying breakfasts you can prep ahead or cook with ease outdoors.

• Our healthy veg‑packed frittata sandwich is a brilliant camping all-rounder, packed with protein and made using Remarksable Value ingredients, so you can eat well outdoors for less.

• For something you can make ahead and pack, try our blueberry chia seed jam. Quick to prepare with just a handful of ingredients, it’s perfect spread on toast, swirled through yogurt or spooned over porridge.

Keep things fresh, vibrant and full of flavour with lunches that come together effortlessly.

• Our harissa and pistachio pesto caprese salad is a colourful, sunshine‑ready dish, where sweet, peak‑season tomatoes and creamy burrata are lifted by a bold, gently spiced pesto. It’s simple to assemble and perfect for sharing straight from the bowl.

• For something quick but equally flavour-packed, try our no‑cook chicken tacos. Filled with pre-cooked tender chicken, crisp lettuce and zingy pickled onions, then finished with ready‑made dips, they deliver layers of texture and freshness in every bite. Easy to build and full of colour, they’re ideal for relaxed lunches, without any need for cooking.

Nothing beats cooking over the grill, and with a few simple steps, you can create crowd‑pleasing dinners wherever you’re set up.

• Start with burgers – keep it easy with our British Beef Burgers or try something different with chicken, or portobello mushrooms. Grill until perfectly cooked, add a layer of melted cheddar for that classic finish, then toast your buns on the barbecue. Assemble with your favourite sauces and toppings for a burger that’s made to eat outdoors.

• For something a little different, fire up the grill for Korean‑inspired hot dogs, loaded into soft brioche buns and topped with a gochujang‑spiked crunchy slaw for a bold mix of heat, sweetness and texture.

• Or mix things up with our easy hot dog topping ideas – think sticky hoisin sauce, tangy tomato salsa or spiced korma potatoes, all perfect for loading onto sausages straight from the grill.

From refreshing soft drinks to easy cocktail moments, these are the drinks that travel well and chill easily.

• Start with our Pop Marks collection – four vibrant, high‑fibre sodas made for easy sipping around the campsite. Choose from zesty Lemon and Lime, bright Mandarin and Yuzu, fruity Pink Lemonade or tropical‑flavoured Pop Marks Tropical. Lightly sparkling, refreshing and low in sugar, they’re ideal served cold straight from the cool box.

• For evening drinks with minimal effort, our cocktail tins make it easy. Pick from classics like Gin and Tonic or Mojito, stock up on a four‑pack of your favourite Passion Star Martini, or keep things alcohol‑free with Pina Colada and Lime Margarita alternatives.

• If you’re in the mood for something lighter, spritz‑style serves like Hugo Spritz and Aperitivo Spritz are perfect for relaxed sipping as the sun goes down.

• Plan by meal: Think breakfasts, lunches, snacks, dinners and a few treats to keep things simple and balanced.

• Prep ahead where you can: Make‑ahead breakfasts, snacks, jams and marinades save time and effort at the campsite.

• Mix cook and no‑cook options: Balance barbecue meals with salads, wraps, dips and ready‑to‑eat ingredients for easy days.

• Choose flexible ingredients: Flatbreads, condiments and dips can be used across multiple meals.

• Think storage and clean‑up: A good cool bag, reusable containers and foil or greaseproof paper make all the difference.

• Keep it adaptable: Pick forgiving recipes that work whether the sun’s shining or plans change.
