Just wondering if there’s a limit on when you can arrive for check in prior to boarding Brittany Ferries at Plymouth. It clearly states at least 60 mins before, but does it matter if you are there, say, an hour or so earlier? I ask because for Santander (for the return journey) website clearly gives details of early arrivals and parking conditions, but cannot find similar for the Plymouth end.
thanks

I have checked this out with the EU regs, Are you absolutely sure? Can you provide a link please?
This is what the regs say - quote:
Rules when travelling from a non-EU country
If you travel to the EU from a non-EU country, you are not allowed to bring any meat or dairy products with you. You can however bring a limited quantity of fruit and vegetables as well as eggs, egg products and honey. Restricted quantities of fish or fish products are also allowed.
Here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/carry/meat-dairy-animal/index_en.htm
The only exceptions are travelling from Greenland or the Faroe Islands.

Nutsy, I can only repeat that a previous poster on here, EribaMotters, wrote to the Europe Direct Contact Centre for a ruling, and in their reply he was told that taking meat and dairy products if they were for personal use were both allowed. The reply he received is still on here dated 6 April 2022 but many other members on here doubt it. Perhaps you would like to write to that office too for clarification. I am sorry I can give you no more help than that.

I don't know what the "Europe Direct Contact Centre" is but annex 2 in the link I have previously posted and which is the actual legislation, not someone's interpretation of it is perfectly clear on the matter. Dairy products are NOT allowed as they are exempt from the allowances made in Section 7. If people choose to ignore this it's their prerogative. I accept that checks are probably unlikely but that's no excuse.

Hi
Last October we sailed from Plymouth to Santander and arrived at the port 4 hours before check in, there's loads of room. There were several outfits already there as well as 25 Maserati sports car! The sound of all those V10's revving up- petrol head heaven!!
