Pot Noodle!
No, seriously though my weekend fishing mate is a meat wholesaler and just around Christmas time he did a cracking bankside stew... can't remember what the meat was, might have been venison?

Wow, do you take a chef fishing with you? That looks seriously nice feed.

Bbq lamb with rosemary and garlic rub and rice
Not on a riverbank but at a Carp lake, it was roast lamb, roasted potatoes, and carrots which was the first meal I cooked on the Cobb Oven after I bought it 2010.
I'd seen and heard about the one that an FM member (Greg I think it was) had and just had to get one. They are really an excellent piece of culinary kit:

On the river bank I tend to re-heat frozen portions of home-made casseroles, stews and curry that I freeze in double portion sizes. I only ever once ate (well, had 2 spoons full actually) of a pot noodle before labeling them as totally unfit for human consumption. Those things are a blot on the landscape of the culinary arts!

Never had a hot meal on the riverbank - about the most extravagant meal I have had is salmon sandwiches!!

Mine happened a few winters back, arriving one very cold damp morning on a flooded river trent I had just started fishing a small often productive slack area near a laybye.
A car pulled up beside mine and an angler approached me saying he had come to specifically fish my swim. He was a bit upset so I said if he wanted too he could share the swim as there was nowhere else for him nearby.
An hour later up comes a white van and a guy gets out with a large insulated box and had a word with my near neighbour then leaving the box drives of,
Turns out the guy next to me was tiling a kitchen in a nearby pub with his mate and completing the work the previous day had both arranged to fish the following morning and the landlord had told them that when he saw them from the pub window fishing he would deliver them both a full english with hot tea bread etx.
My "new mates" mate had cried off on account of the bad weather and the landlord had mistaken me for the other guy.
Not wanting to see the food wasted he said to the tiler that I may like it.
It went down a treat! Best meal ever by a riverbank I ever had.
So, be nice, you never know!!!

Same here.
Fires, cooking, etc are banned on the rivers I fish.
However some do provide bar-b-ques facilities, fishing huts and rod racks which is very civilised.
Perhaps try a grilled Brownie this summer.....second thoughts no I wont....ugh
mg:Did share a nice bottle of Claret with an angler I met on the bank a few years ago, cannot remember his name but the wine was superb

River Trent Fish-in a few years ago, shared with his lordship.
Lamb steaks marinaded in garlic, rosemary and olive oil - done on the BBQ along with BBQ courgette accompanied by spicey couscous. Washed down with a bottle of pinotage.
Having said that, bacon butties are always a winner when cooked outside.
