First time we crossed to Zeebrugge we shopped at Carefour and filled up
That's a good idea but the only problem is that not all MH freezers are suitable for freezing fresh products, some are only 2* which means they can store it once frozen but not freeze it 'safely' to a suitably low temperature to kill off any nasties and preserve the food in a good state for later consumption, in fact only freezers with a snowflake image on should be used to freeze fresh food rather than store pre-frozen food..I think you would have to contact them and ask BUT when we take stuff that needs/is going to go in the freezer we take it fresh in the fridge and then put it all in the freezer at the other side. The stuff that goes in the freezer comes out at the ferry and goes in the fridge to help keep that cool and then it gets eaten the evening we arrive.

Ours is most likely 2* but have not died yet, we have had a freezer thermometer in and it doesn't get to -18 but I think better than -10 from memory.That's a good idea but the only problem is that not all MH freezers are suitable for freezing fresh products, some are only 2* which means they can store it once frozen but not freeze it 'safely' to a suitably low temperature to kill off any nasties.
freezer temperatures For long‐term storage of frozen foods (up to 2–3 months), domestic freezers run at −18 °C (0 °F); in the UK this is a 3‐star rated deep freeze. A freezing compartment of a refrigerator (for short‐term storage of frozen foods) is between −11 °C (12 °F), 2‐star rated, for storage up to 4 weeks; and −4 °C (25 °F), 1‐star rated, for storage up to a week.
A 3‐star rated deep freeze with a snowflake symbol is one that is suitable for freezing foods, as opposed to storing ready‐frozen food; it has a higher cooling capacity than a simple deep freeze storage cabinet.

Why not fill up when you get there, or better still buy fresh every other day, and not bother with freezing.Hi all
Does anyone know if P&O have an electric hook up facility on their Hull - Zeebrugge service?
My gas will be switched off and didn't want to run off vehicle battery.
Wife's planning taking all sorts in the freezer and at this rate i can see us flooding the deck.
Ours is the same 2* but it doesn't stop hubby freezing stuff all the time ... especially stuffing it with some chicken pieces and then not being able to get them out until we get home and defrost the thing 'cause he forgot to allow for 'expansion'!!!!Ours is most likely 2* but have not died yet, we have had a freezer thermometer in and it doesn't get to -18 but I think better than -10 from memory.
I do take your point though.

... leaves more room in the freezer for ice-cream then ... yummy!Why not fill up when you get there, or better still buy fresh every other day, and not bother with freezing.

there's nowt you can't get there just as good as here
Some folk are very reluctant to change their habits food and drink wise. I've read on here of people stocked up with Cheddar cheese, sausage and bacon. To me half the fun of travelling is trying different foods.I once witnessed a FUNster arriving in Spain with lockers full of booze - how silly is that ?

Nooooooooooo! I would have eaten them all and chanced throwing upI agree if it is frozen and the fridge is in full swing it will last for the crossing.
Recently coming back from Rotterdam I gave away our surplus magnums because I thought they would melt.
After the crossing I checked the fridge and the ice cubes were still frozen
The only things we bring are tea bags (who doesn't?) and muesli although we've now run out of the latter but locally sourced cornflakes are fine.

Yes it is. When you approach the aire it is on both sides of the road and the one on the LEFT has better size spaces for yoursI think we'll stop here as we plan to spend a night or two at the Brugge aire upon arrival and this looks to be enroute.

Thanks Andy - I've just posted a load of questions about the aire on a separate thread - you maybe able to answer them.Yes it is. When you approach the aire it is on both sides of the road and the one on the LEFT has better size spaces for yours
