Arriving at your holiday cottage to find something delicious waiting or knowing dinner is already sorted is a very good start to a South Devon holiday.
If you're looking for South Devon food boxes or welcome hampers, there are some lovely local options.
A Welcome Hamper From Verse
Verse in Kingsbridge offers a welcome hamper that's worth looking at if you'd like something special for your arrival.
It could also make a lovely addition if you're visiting for a birthday, anniversary or celebration.
Build A South Devon Barbecue Pack
For something less formal, pop into Salcombe Meat Company and speak to Adam about putting together a meat pack for your barbecue or kitchen
Add some bread, salad and drinks and you've got a very easy first-night dinner.
Try Pooja's Pantry
Another favourite of ours is Pooja's Pantry at Healthwise in Kingsbridge.
Pooja's authentic Indian dishes are kept in the freezer, so you can pick up a selection of curries and sides, take them back to the cottage and heat everything when you're ready.
A local food box doesn't have to arrive beautifully wrapped with a ribbon around it.
Sometimes the best version is simply a collection of really good things made locally and an evening enjoying them at your holiday cottage.
