After carrying out a taste test on Adventure Food, Firepot and Wayfayrer outdoor camping meals, we had to let you know our absolute favourites! We were impressed by all the meals we tasted, we didn’t have the highest expectations of these pre-cooked packaged meals, but all of them tasted pretty good! Some were understandably better than others, everyone’s taste is different. But we didn’t find one that we thought was bad! So, here’s our verdict…

Backpacking and hiking offer adventure, excitement, enjoyment, and great new experiences, but no matter how experienced (or inexperienced) you are, there’s always the risk of forgetting something essential, and there’s nothing worse than getting halfway and realising you’ve forgotten something essential at home!

We sell plenty of outdoor camping meals here at Attwoolls Outdoors, but none of us had ever tested the ones from Firepot, so we decided to have a staff taste test and work out our favourites! We chose a variety of products as we have staff who are vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free so we’ve made sure we stock (and tested) something for everyone.
