Paula’s Cooking in a Camper is now into the
4th year with the GBFF guys and all we can say is
WOW. It is one heck of an experience to be able to
show case our Cooking in a Camper recipes, meet
brilliant producers, visitors plus see fabulous venues
around the UK.
So I hear some folk ask what/ who are “Cooking in
a Camper” Well, Cooking in a Camper started off
a few years ago when Paula was sat at one of our
local beaches in North Wales. Ginger Craig said “ok,
what are we going to do when the Burger van goes
for the summer?” This was something of a shock to
us as we thought everyone cooked in their camper
vans/tents/ motorhomes/caravans- apparently not!
SO we decided ( I say WE- G just ate the food along
with Princess our daughter- they are the chief critics!)
to develop some recipes that can be done
basically on one cooker ring in confined spaces.
Ideal for on holiday, student accommodation and
of course at home. We often think may be it should
be renamed “Cooking with limited facilities in
confined spaces” but it just doesn’t have the same
ring to it!
In 2015 our paths crossed with the GBFF guys and
we were asked to show case our recipes, since then
we have gone from strength to strength (but still with
the same trusty old cooker!) and 2017 saw Paula
interviewed on national and local radio (we wont
mention the Billy Bradshaw impersonation!) along
with local paper reviews – we even had a famous
celeb take a selfie with the Grumpy Old Surfer van
at one of the shows!!
So, what do our demo’s entail? Well, firstly they are
fun, and you even get to have a go at some of the
recipes so make sure you are paying attention! We
show case the best of North Wales by telling you
about the beautiful area we call home along with
tips on surfing ! (G is THE grumpy Old Surfer- come
along and see for yourselves!). We give hints and
tips on where to go in your vans/tents – especially in
the UK and of course we show you recipes you may
not have thought you could do on simply 1 or 2 rings
of a camping stove! And the best part is you get
to taste all the food we cook, Our Quessedilas and
Camper van Cheese cake are our specialities so
what are you waiting for – pop over to the
“Cooking in a Camper “ Tent- you will see it next to
the Grumpy Old Surfer Van! and see for yourselves.
