Can I order a takeaway?
Bellingham, 20 miles away, has a chinese takeaway and an Indian Takeaway. Perhaps a good idea to visit on the way if you are arriving late. We strongly advise doing an online check to confirm their opening hours. Before you ask, no they do NOT deliver.
Can I have a fire or a BBQ?
Provided you have a fire-bowl/firepit or metal container that it is high enough off the ground not to damage our site. We ask you to act responsibly around it. Kielder General Store can supply logs and fire-bowls or barbecues. [9-5 hours, closed on a Tuesday] Do not cut trees down from the surrounding area. Do not leave the fire unattended.
Can I bring a Barbecue?
Any barbecue off the floor that will not damage the ground is fine. Please use disposable barbecues with care. Disposables are not to be used on our benches, wooden structures or directly on the grass. Use a slab, rock or the gravelled areas on site.
Always dispose of the used coals, hot or cold, in the metal bin next to our main refuse area. 
Can I use a Cobb Cooker?
By all means.
Do you sell Calor or Camping Gaz?
We are currently not selling Calor or camping Gaz. However, we plan to start selling popular sizes shortly, watch this space.....
What shops are in the area?
We have a small General Store located at our village fuel station. You will receive an e-mail prior to arrival with their opening hours. We have an onsite freezer and a small fridge you can use. We suggest freezing such items, allowing them to defrost slowly, or if you are here for a while put them in our freezer and defrost the day before. Please make sure your items are sealed or secure before placing them in our communal fridge or freezer. Bags and a method of labelling is provided to assist.
Kielder Waterside also has a small shop at reception with limited stock.
