Pick and Mix Catering

Instead of a fixed price package, we have a range of catering options to allow you to pre-book the options you’d prefer.

Meals are served in either the Poacher Food Court or in the Epic Dining Room depending on your selections.

Tea, coffee and squash will be available to staff in both dining areas throughout mealtimes. The Food Court offers both outdoor picnic tables and a sheltered undercover area.

Instead of a fixed price package, we have a range of catering options to allow you to pre-book the options you’d prefer.

When you book, you’ll choose from the options below:

• Poacher Food Court
• Bears Street Food
• Epic Catering

You don’t have to select the same meal or a meal at all for every sitting – you can build your schedule as you wish.

For example, you can even self cater for breakfast and lunch, and just book dinner with us, which means you have flexibility in what you choose.

Catering starts from Saturday 1st August evening, and runs until Saturday 8th August morning.

For the majority of the options you are required to bring a plate bag (plate, bowl, cutlery and drinking vessel – preferably with a lid) and tea towel with you. Sufficient washing up facilities will be provided.  You do not need a plate bag if you are having pizza, jacket potatoes or Bears Street Food.

This document outlines all the different options available to staff when bookings open on 14 March 2026.

Self Catering/Group Catering

As always, staff are very welcome to cater for themselves at Poacher 2026.

If needed, we can provide electrical hook-up (only in the staff subcamp) to those catering for groups of staff, and caravans for £100. Please contact bookings@poacher.org.uk to add this to your booking.
