[Wiggo]

Anyone know of a good source for decent unbreakable crockery for the new boat?

Congrats on your new F37 - fantastic!! We got our F33 a few weeks back and have been looking for crockery etc. Was in local Matalan shop yesterday. We saw some melamine stuff or similar to melamine - shatterproof anyway - about £1.00 for a dinner plate - which compared with boaty catalogues is cheap as chips. Good luck and happy days with your new dream. Roy

Try http://www.waca.de

They have a good range of crockery and kitchenware. It's available in the UK and there were some good reviews in a recent thread. (I have no connection with WACA)

Dunnes have got a good range. Looks a bit like Portmerion (So the Wife says!!)

If you buy online at John Lewis you will be inundated with spam emails and junk mail through the door, not a great way in my opinion to show how much they respect you giving your personal information to them.

I bought some Christmas presents this year and had a nightmare afterwards in this respect. Oh the bit at the bottom of the email click here to stop these mails does not work. The only way I stopped it was to log into the site and change my email, back to their sales department as it happened. The junk mail is still not resolved.

Easy Jet are the same, never book online unless using an anonymous email addy.

Soap box slid back away.

What is this ? eating off plastic plates ,drinking your tea in plastic mugs ,next thing you will be drinking wine out of plastic mugs.Have you no sense of decency ?
My lady wife and I have ,thank god ,never lowered ourselves to these levels
always use proper china and glass .only time anything gets broken is usually after
i have had a few too many.This includes a few sea crossings (and storms)
just pack it all in tightly.

'T'was me other thought, of course. Just not sure on the logistics of packing stuff in, as we have yet to move in to the boat. But with fish 'n' chips out of the paper, does it matter if it's china or plastic you use to stop your knees getting burnt?

Wine out of plastic mugs? Good grief, no! We just neck it straight from the tetrapak.

Axshully, there's some nice stuff at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.galleyslave.co.uk>Galleyslave</A>. Trouble is, I keep wincing at the price, then I keep remembering what I'm spending on the boat.

Hi Graham,

Just been through this loop myself. Ended up with some very nice (she says...) "Helsinki" crockery from Waca. Someone's already posted their URL, and the UK contact number is 01303 873784

Enjoy the F37.

Thanks, Graham. Didn't realise you were hiding here, too. May have to get madam to talk to madam, then...

Anyway, what's a raggie like you doing in a place like this?

Re: It\'s OK

There are a few closet raggies here. We tolerate them, I suppose...

I got my decent unbreakable crockery from a caravan shop. Nice pattern, warms up nicely in the oven before a meal (I do so like hot plates/forums/images/icons/smile.gif) sounds right when eating, but doesnt weigh as much as normal crockery. -- and considerably cheaper than from a swindlery!

Brought some of the Galleyslave products last year, in fact thinking about SWIMBO brought bl**dy loads of it last year! Cracking stuff, looks as good now as then, no breakages or cracks, just nice stuff. Is this a case of you gets what you pay for??
Congrats on the F37, hope you enjoy it as much as we have our Sealine./ Paul

Wiggo,

as you're in Berkshire then it won't take you long to get to Cross Country Caravans at Shillingford bridge - just above Wallingford.

You will NOT be disappointed.

There is a nice lady with a boat on our pontoon who exhibits boaty crockery at most boat shows but sells direct too.

If you like I can get her details for you

Nearest Caravan Dealer........

[Dave_Snelson]

I agree, nearest caravan or camping shop for some nice melamine stuff. Don't go near a boat chandler.

we have used china right from the beginning of our boating career. Never had as much as a cracked plate, but use plastic type glasses for drinks and tupperware type stuff for storeage.
use real knives and forks too
