I think its a great idea! I hate shopping and detest spending my valuable holiday time in a supermarket so will be looking into onsite deliveries for my next trip

Anyone know if Trevornick accept deliveries???

I always do my main shop at a local supermarket and then use local shops during the week to top up fresh produce, using local shops all week would be far too expensive and time consuming

When I wanted to arrange delivery I called the site and asked for a specific pitch number, saying I needed an 'address' so I could have a grocery delivery ... I didn't ask permission per se figuring if they didn't want me to do this, they would say so at that point. So might be worth giving the site a call ....

If they do say no to a pitch delivery, maybe they'd let you have it delivered to the reception area if you agree to be there when it arrives! I've done that at static sites before, happily sat reading my book waiting for a delivery, then texted kids and husband to come and help carry bags when I saw the van coming up the drive! Worked a treat ...

Thanks for  the tip off Madamzsaszsa!

Will try and check out the prices and do the maths, as the saying goes .. as we have the wetsuits and bodyboards already ...

No satnav yet .. so reliant on my map reading skills  ... wish us luck!

i believe one of the reasons that some sites do not accept grocery deliveries was due to the problems of frozen food storage when it arrived on site. not only are some sites reception areas not big enough to store several peoples grocery deliveries, but people were getting upset when they arrived on site and the wardens had not managed to put their frozen good into some kind of freezer for them pending collection. There was a whole thread on here about the subject a few weeks ago, and on another forum I read of some campers ringing the site and asking for their frozen goods to be stored in the offices ice cream display freezer, then getting upset when their request was refused. On others, the one car per pitch rule and all others not allowed past the security barrier prevented deliveries to pitches, on others the problem was a delivery would arrive for someone with a popular surname, and the poor wardens would not have a clue to which 'John Smith' of several the delivery was ment for, so you can quite clearly understand the reasons why some sites have banned the grocery delivery services from visiting campsites.

Personally, we just take enough food for the first nights stay and breakfast the next morning, then a quick trip to the local supermarket for a weeks shop, it only takes an hour at most, then i have most of the things I need and just top up locally with bread and milk as required.
