Food to France

We have a simple approach to the 'taking food' issue.

We have only ever taken what's left in the fridge, plus bacon, we enjoy a lovey meal on the way there on the ferry and plan our first fuel stop at a supermarket with cafe/restaurant.

After that, its as eurortraveller says.

Leaving for Southern Spain on 15th Jan, first time back since 2020, really glad I read this thread. Will take what we would normally take in the fridge, many thanks...

Very useful, thank you Colin.  I’ve had a quick look.  Needs a bit of time to read and digest (no pun intended).  Certainly much more comprehensive than on the gov page I read previously.

Thanks for all of the replies.

As it happens, crossing from Poole to Cherbourg, we were not even asked about any food on board.

Might risk taking a couple of day's supplies next time…
