Healthy eating, even on holiday

Integrating with the local community and purchasing amenities in the village in which you stay, is all part of an Upland Escapes walking holiday experience.

Guests stay in traditional upland village B&B and guesthouse accommodation that is carefully maintained by the local owner. The village shop and restaurants provide the mainstay of an Upland experience for a unique insight into the local way of life, and purchase locally-produced food that is not only delicious, it is well balanced and energy-rich too.

This means that you can experience all the enjoyment of fresh, seasonal cuisine, even while on holiday.

Most of the Upland Escape holiday options include a deli-style packed lunch for each day of your holiday, made from fresh ingredients such as ham, cheeses and vegetables. All guests also have the option of purchasing an Upland Escape Ultimate Packed Lunch Kit, contained within a hard-wearing insulated cool-bag. The kits have been tried and tested in some of Europe’s most rugged mountain scenery and are ideal for bringing along on your walks for a picnic, days out and journeys.

From years of experience providing thousands of packed lunches for energetic people, Upland Escapes have found that the Ultimate Packed Lunch usually consists of eight different elements to help ensure that you maintain your energy levels throughout an active day:

1. Main salad
2. Accompaniment
3. Cheese
4. Meat or other protein
5. Pudding
6. Fruit
7. Bread
8. Water

The Packed Lunch Kits includes three quality air-tight containers, which are small and handy, as well as dishwasher and microwave safe. Included in the kit are two mini ice packs, stainless steel cutlery and bottle-opener. Each kit also comes with its own set of tried-and-tested menu cards, illustrating 18 lovely salad, accompaniment and pudding recipes. From Tuscan Panzanella Salad to lemon and almond biscuits, there's inspiration to suit all tastes. The combination of recipes provide a healthy balance of mixed food groups and have been cleverly devised so that you can add your own seasonal ingredients – much of which can be purchased locally.

The Ultimate Packed Lunch Kits cost just £29.99 + P&P. International shipping can be arranged. In addition, all Packed Lunch Kits come with a £25.00 discount off an Upland Escape Walking Holiday.
