Where do we start.......
Why We Started WildRoute Kitchen
If you’ve ever packed a campervan for a trip, you’ll know the excitement starts long before you turn the key. You map the route, picture the views, and count down the days until you can leave everyday life behind for a while.
Then, just as the adventure starts to feel real, one question always seems to creep in:
"What are we going to eat?"
For many of us, meal planning is one of the most stressful parts of getting ready for a trip. There are endless shopping lists, the temptation to buy too much “just in case”, the risk of forgetting key ingredients, and the inevitable supermarket stops once you’re already on the road. What should feel exciting can quickly become overwhelming before the adventure has even begun.
For us, food has always felt like part of the adventure, not a problem to solve at the last minute.
Some of our happiest memories have been made around our tiny campervan table: cooking dinner with a mountain view, brewing coffee by the coast, or sharing a meal after a day of exploring. We love good food just as much as we love travelling, and somewhere along the way we realised the two don’t have to be separate.
With our background in catering and business management, combined with our love of campervan life, creating something that brought those passions together felt like the natural next step.
Over the years, we’ve noticed how often people are surprised by what you can cook in a campervan. There’s a common misconception that limited space means limited meals, but we’ve never believed that.
We're not saying there's anything wrong with instant noodles... they're just not really our style!
With a little planning, a handful of ingredients and a few simple recipes, cooking on the road can become one of the highlights of the whole trip.
But we also know that what comes naturally to us doesn’t necessarily come naturally to everyone else — and that’s exactly why WildRoute Kitchen exists.
Solving a Problem We Experienced Ourselves
WildRoute Kitchen wasn’t created in a boardroom. It grew from years of travelling, cooking and chatting to fellow campers who all seemed to share the same challenge: they loved getting away, but dreaded planning the food.
That’s why we decided to create more than another recipe book. We designed a complete meal-planning system specifically for campervan travel.
Every kit follows a simple three-step process:
- Meal plans to take away the guesswork.
- Shopping lists so you know exactly what to buy.
- Recipe cards that are easy to follow in a small kitchen.
No complicated recipes.
No expensive specialist ingredients.
No cupboards full of food you'll only use once.
Just practical, delicious meals that are easy to cook in a small space — helping you spend less time worrying about food and more time enjoying the journey.
More Than Just Meal Plans
WildRoute Kitchen isn’t just about recipes. It’s about making campervan travel feel easier, more organised and more enjoyable from the moment you start packing.
It’s about helping people feel prepared before they leave home.
It’s about reducing food waste by making the most of every ingredient.
It’s about saving money by buying only what you need.
And it’s about giving people the confidence to cook in their campervan, whether it’s their first trip or their fiftieth.
Most of all, we want our meal plans to become part of the memories you make: the breakfasts before an early hike, the lunches overlooking a lake, and the cosy dinners after a day of adventure.
Because great adventures deserve great food.
This Is Just the Beginning
WildRoute Kitchen is a brand-new business, and we’re incredibly excited to share it with the campervan community.
We’re building something for people who love exploring, slowing down and making memories outdoors. As we grow, we’ll continue developing new meal plans, practical resources and fresh ideas to make life on the road even easier.
We’re also passionate about listening to the community. If there’s a meal plan you’d love to see, a dietary requirement you’d like us to cater for, or a challenge you’d like us to tackle, we’d genuinely love to hear from you. Some of the best ideas come from fellow adventurers, and we’re always up for a challenge.
Thank you for joining us at the beginning of this journey. We hope WildRoute Kitchen helps make your adventures a little simpler, a little less stressful and a whole lot more delicious.
See you on the road.
