A little planning makes the first evening of a self-catering holiday considerably easier.
If you're organising food shopping for a Salcombe holiday, decide whether you need a big shop or simply enough for dinner and breakfast.
Shopping In Salcombe
The Co-op in Salcombe is useful for everyday essentials and particularly convenient for guests at Kennford, which is only around a two-minute flat walk away.
For A Bigger Shop
Kingsbridge is generally more practical when you want to stock up properly, particularly if you're passing through before heading towards Salcombe, Hope Cove or South Milton.
Shop Local For Dinner
For a barbecue, pop into Salcombe Meat Company and have a chat with Adam about putting together a meat pack for you.
If you love curry, another of our favourite local tips is Pooja's Pantry at Healthwise in Kingsbridge. You'll find Pooja's authentic Indian dishes in the freezer, along with sides and everything you need for an easy curry night.
And remember: you're on holiday. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making the first night's food shop pizza and a bottle of wine.
