Bringing your own <a href="/review/best-cool-boxes-test">cool box</a> of food will help you save time and money once you’re there – as long as the ingredients you’ve packed are light and long-lasting. As a rule of thumb, we like to buy one large meal out a day, and spend other mealtimes tucking into pre-prepared meals and snacks.</p>
<p>To help you with festival prep, we’ve selected 10 staple ‘foundation’ foods which are perfect for campsite dining, whether you are using a <a href="/review/best-camping-stoves">camping stove</a> or bringing pre-made meals.</p>
<p>For inspiration on which festivals to visit this year, see the <a href="/howto/the-best-food-festivals-in-the-uk">best UK food festivals</a> and our <a href="/travel/uk/best-food-festivals-kids">family festival round-up</a>.

<p>A simple bit of prep before you leave for the festival means you’ll be thanking yourself later. A container of pre-cooked pasta to eat on the first or second day makes a purse-friendly lunch or dinner – it’s lightweight, filling and you can add protein and veg to make it more nutritious. This pre-cooked <a href="/recipes/pasta-pesto-salad">pesto pasta salad</a>, which you can eat cold, is a great option.</p>
<p>If you’re bringing a stove, consider bringing a homemade jar of sauce to level-up your pasta. A homemade <a href="/recipes/pesto-sauce">pesto</a> or <a href="/recipes/tomato-sauce-0">tomato sauce</a> can be added to pasta to make a freestyle throw-together meal that can be easily scaled up.</p>

<p>Wrap up slices of pre-cooked pizza in foil for a quick and easy lunch on the first or second day. You can opt for shop-bought, however making your own makes a purse-friendly option – see our <a href="/recipes/pizza-margherita-4-easy-steps">4-step margherita pizza</a> for a step-by-step guide. These <a href="/recipes/chicken-tikka-masala-naans">chicken tikka masala pizzas</a> use shop-bought naan breads as a base to cut corners, as do these super-easy <a href="/recipes/pitta-pizzas-0">pitta pizzas</a>.</p>

<p>Pack smart with a container of <a href="/howto/guide/health-benefits-nuts">nuts</a> and seeds to snack on during the long weekend. Nuts are high in natural fats, high in energy, plus they’re filling, so you won’t be feeling peckish afterwards. They’re also a healthy source of plant-based protein – the nuts highest in protein which also make great snacks are peanuts, almonds, and hazelnuts.</p>

<p>Want to avoid long, slow-moving queues at the breakfast food vans? Make a batch of high-fibre muesli or some homemade fruity, crunchy granola. Shop-bought cereals such as muesli, cornflakes and granola, are often marketed as healthy breakfast options but actually contain surprisingly high amounts of sugar. Avoid these by making your own – start your day with this <a href="/recipes/nuts-seeds-granola">homemade granola</a> for breakfast, full of nuts, seeds, oats and dried fruit. It’s dairy-free, too.</p>

<p>If you’re hoping to bring fresh fruit to the festival, we suggest taking fruit which last the longest – apples, pears and apricots are all great options, as they are best stored outside of the fridge.</p>
<p>Canned fruit is a cost-effective item to bring, and you won’t have to worry about it going off. Some canned fruit may have sugar added to improve its taste, texture or appearance. For those managing their sugar intake, check the labels and look for products without added ingredients. When selecting canned fruit, choose options canned in natural juice rather than syrup.</p>

<p>Waking up to a cup of hot coffee will start the day on the right foot – not to mention beating the long queues at coffee vans. Bringing your own coffee will be a serious time-saver – we like to pack our favourite ground coffee and an <a href="https://www.aeropress.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AeroPress</a> coffee maker: an inexpensive, portable and lightweight bit of kit which requires no washing-up.</p>
<p>If you’re more partial to a cup of tea, simply pack however many tea bags you think you’ll need – make sure to bring some <a href="/review/best-sustainable-picnicware">reusable cups</a>.</p>

<p>Breakfast isn’t complete without long-life milk. Use it for bowls of cereal in the morning, as well as milky teas and coffees. If you don’t drink dairy milk, there are <a href="/howto/guide/best-milk-alternatives">plant-based alternatives</a> out there, such as oat, soya and almond.</p>
