Home Cooked Evening Meals
Why not give yourselves a really relaxing holiday treat on arrival night or a change from cooking or eating out in the week? Enjoy a delicious restaurant quality three-course meal cooked by us with fresh, local produce.
You can dine in the comfort of your cottage, on your private terrace or in the flower-filled courtyard. You choose the time, and while you chill-out with an inclusive aperitif and enjoy your evening, we will lay out the table, serve each course and clear away.
Cost 30 euros per person.
We have various excellent local Loire wines (gorgeous reds @25 euros – Bourgeuil, Chinon or Saumur Champigny) and award-winning crisp white Touraine Sauvignon @15 euros) for you to try, all personally selected by us on visits to the region’s best producers.
Your Starters and Desserts can be different choices, but please choose just ONE Main Course for ALL your group.
Children’s Menu (Under-12’s) at 15 euros also available, as are Vegetarian Options or Special Dietary Requirements. Please just ask us for details, but note we do need a minimum of 24 hours notice.
Various additional seasonal dishes are available to choose from during your holiday. Also, if you prefer, for example, 2 courses on other nights – main plus either starter or dessert for 20 euros, this can be arranged. Just chat with Jude. Breakfast can also be served at 10 euros per person.
