Alternatively, take some basic cooking tools with you! So maybe take one of those mini fridges you can pick up for around £20 now? Obviously you could go further and take microwave, toaster etc but, with the fridge I think you would be OK.

Of course you have salad that you can eat, but maybe before you go, find out which is the nearest supermarket to your B&B and head to your local store, and spend a good hour walking around. There are loads of dry and cold things you could eat. Plus, if you do take a mini fridge, you can buy a few different salad-y items, cold meats, cheese etc and store them.

And how about the deli counter? They do cooked chickens which are really nice, so that would enable you to have a hot meal one night, and eat the leftovers witha salad or in a sandwich the next day. And not all takeaway’s terrible - how about if you picked up that chicken, getting a portion of boiled rice from a local chinese? Or a chicken or shish kebab with some salad? Try hitting some diet websites to see which takeaways they recommend as the healthiest, so if you do eat a bit more takeaway than you want, you’re not doing anything too terrible.

Most importantly, make sure you keep it as balanced as possible, and remember that no one is perfect! If you are likely to slip and eat takeaway, plan it in advance - then, if you know for example you are treating yourself of Wednesday, you might just have a bit more willpower the rest of the week.

I hope this helps and, if all else fails, see if you can change B&Bs to one where they will let you borrow their microwave!!

You could always buy potato salad and cooked baby potatoes as a way of bulking out the salads. Be sure not to buy rice salad as rice can become contaiminated very quickly once cooled…definitely stay away from it.

With all this information and advice given on here you should not be short of ideas for dinners without cooking, however,
I think once you get where you are going to work your employer will be offering you the use of the kitchen to cook a meal or even the lend of a microwave in your room.

Though in all likelyhood you will be wanting to get out and about in the evening and you will soon get acquainted with the best wee cafe. Nothing worse than eating on your own especially on a summers evening.

All the best with the job.

My daughter lived almost without cooked food at all for nine months in a student hostel in France, rather than pay high refectory prices, and she had no access to a fridge. She used to hang things outside the window, as described, in winter, but when the weather got hot, she kept cheese in a pot standing in a bowl of water, the way we used to in the days before everyone had fridges. Cover it with a cloth which dangles in the water, keeping it moist, and the evaporation cools it down. When we lived in Africa without a fridge, we kept butter in a jam jar and virtually poured it on our bread.

As well as small tins of tuna, you could stock up on tins of chick peas, garden peas, cooked beetroot, pickled peppers etc. Couscous and salads would be very healthy, as well as delicious. You can do instant mashed potato the same way - if you like it. Avocado makes a good salad base, and keeps well until cut. Similarly bananas, apples and tomatoes - God’s convenience foods, sealed in their own packaging! And don’t forget nutritious, healthy, bread! Our ancestors lived on it before potatoes were introduced from South America.

Take a few basic items with you - most could be plastic to save weight - a bowl, couple of plates, mug, sharp knife, several spoons of different sizes, fork, tea towel, dishcloth, as well as tin opener.

Have fun!
