Hi folks, my partner has a shareboat that we have enjoyed going out on for many years. Sometimes we are out boating for a week, and others two weeks in one go. Boating used to be very easy food wise because we would tend to do half of the meals onboard, and half off, and we make our bread, so the only thing we ever need is to pick up some fresh meat and milk half way through the week. However, I am now lactose intolerant, and have sensitivities to a number of other things like egg and wheat, so we are having a real struggle with it. Last holiday we had to plan a trip that would involve going to a large supermarket part way through the week, and we had to get to shops before they would close so that we could get fresh meat, lactose free milk, free from bread and other free from foods, because when you are intolerant to things, there isn't much choice of products, so you have to get what you know. Sadly free from products tend to only be in large chain shops. Obviously, this is not always possible, for example, we might suddenly have to change our plans because of a stoppage, or want to go on a route where there aren't any large shops. When we have been able to plan our trips ahead I email around the pubs that we will be near to see if they can cater for me, but a large number can't. So I was wondering how other free from boating people get on?
Thank you in advance! I hate missing out on boat holidays.
