Been on the look-out for some ambient store meals to take camping and apart from some truly awful things from various supermarkets the only ones half decent are some from M&S for £2.50. There are only 4 flavours though, and they are a bit small for a full meal (brilliant to take to work for lunch if you have access to a microwave though)
Anyhow, a couple of weeks ago, while at work one of the residents had a box of stuff delivered from this company. I asked what they were like and the couple said they were very nice, handy to have when they didn't feel like cooking.
So I had a look and I contacted the company to ask if the meals could be used for camping purposes and had a very nice reply
Good morning,
I came accross your website whilst searching for ambient store food to take camping. I would like to know if the soup and stew type meals can be decanted from their containers and heated in a saucepan. Your meals would solve a lot challenges whilst camping if this is the case. I look forward to your reply.
Many thanks in advance,
Annie

Dear Annie,
Thank you for your question and for getting in touch with us, happy to see you came across ourselves.
From a business perspective we only advise heating them in an oven/microwave as these are the 'tried and tested' method's we've worked with when producing them.
However saying that, all of what we send you is cooked and edible cold if you wanted to. So on this basis we have a lot of customer's that do this to heat the meals when they're away camping etc and they don't have any problems.
The reason being is they're already cooked when you receive them, so actually all you're doing is heating them up for improved flavor.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,

So I've gone ahead and ordered a few things. Will report back when I've tried them. The thing that I did see is they do a large size in some of the meals for you lads with a healthy appetite.
