Caravan plates and bowls

Chasstreet, how does the weight compare and can you get cups/mugs?

Hi 

each plate is vert slightly heavier 

out of interest I weighed our complete set and the ikea set was only 400g heavier than the melamine set we are going to replace

they do mugs, however we didn’t buy these as we like to either use our bucket size ones in the morning, and then wine glasses for the rest of the day🍷🍷

the range is caled oftast 

‘Like it’. We also have melamine and it’s showing its’ age now, will have a look, thanks.

Last year I bought some nice new melamine from the M&S outdoor range, J Lewis are good too, a bit heavier but worth a look. Some of the dept. stores have better designs than the camping type offers. I'd already got some plain Corelle from ebay (not too expensive if you shop around) but thanks for the tip about Ikea, it's been mentioned before and that's a good reminder. 

If you’re in France, Carrefour do something like Corelle for under a euro a piece. I like the weight of China (or whatever), Melamine is too light for me, I let mine go with my van when I sold it.

I liked the dept store melamine because it's chunkier and bigger, good designs as well, probably start coming into the shops soon, just had a look, not much there yet. I pack the Corelle away to travel so plastic plates are handy and I like having both. I passed on the old camping melamine to a charity shop.

I use normal household crockery bought from asda and pack it away in the same box for travelling. don't like plastic.

We're still using a set of three green enamel non-stick pans that we bought from Asda in 1993 for use in our first caravan.  They are still non-stick, and in fantastic condition!  I hope your crockery lasts as long!

Thanks ValDa. set came with 4 of everything and only wife and i so if any breakages hayho. good value for money then from asda.

After a tip off on this forum we purchased Oast from IKEA. We had melamine and two small crockery dinner plates previously. Price was good and quality appears good too. We prefer bone China mugs so stuck with those. Oast travels in the plate rack no extra packing.
