Hi Susan

Great Dunmow has tesco with cafe. The store is open 24 hours although the cafe is not. Lots of people who use airport use it, taxi drivers etc. May be worth doing we are only 10 minutes away. However there is Boots at the airport that sells sandwiches and the prices seem to be same as instore. When is your trip? Is it next week half term?

My mother grew up in Gt Dunmow and I still have a few relatives there .
There are services on the roundabout when you come off the M11 for stansted airport. No idea what they are like though.
Bishops Stortford is nearer than Dummow and has lots of eating places. Including the usual fast food places.
I grew up in and around Bishops Stortford and still have relatives there too

No worries - you could always just take a few bits and leave in the car - it's cold enough that nothing will go off....lol!!! What about some of them dunker type things - some fruit shoot type drinks/or water some mini packs of jaffa cakes - mini pringles etc - all stuff that if you don't need to you leave in the car and it won't go off - or they can stick in their rucksacks and take on the plane.....

I find I have to feed my three all the way there when we go on hols.... They usually have their own back packs and I put a selection of stuff for them...... small boxes of raisins, pack of crisps, cheese strings, small packs of biscuits, cereal bars, small bottle of water or fruit shoot...... keeps them entertained for ages......!!!!

Anyway, just a few suggestions..... hope you have a great time skiing......
