Club Catering on Weekends


Weekend trips are centered around the massive evening meals prepared by those brave enough to take on the often thankless (but fun) task of cooking. Those who volunteer are normally allocated a budget of £2.50 per person and asked to provide a dish, and choose their personnel assistant. There are generally three options plus a vegetarian option and portions should be generous. Puddings are, of course, compulsory. Some say the inclusion of mushrooms in dishes can be a contentious issue, however in reality this is not the case. They should never be included. Simples!

Facilities
Most huts we stay at have large industrial style cookers, pots, pans and some massive ladels. On the odd occasion when such equipment is not present, members have shown their marvelous ingenuity. Plastic bottle cut up and used as wine glasses, for example.
