Eating and drinking
meals and catering options:
Food is a very important part of your holiday whether you want to cook for yourselves, sit down and let someone else do it or choose a combination of both. So at most times of the season you can choose from three different options: fully catered, flexi catered or self catered.
Our food is fresh and varied and we want you to enjoy it and look forward to meals, so we take on board your likes and dislikes, get excited at cooking vegetarian or something different, and work around your needs with younger children. We’re very fortunate to be surrounded by a choice of small local producers, weekly markets and impressive counters of goods in the supermarkets and we try and make the most of all that is on offer. We're not tied to fixed menus so can be responsive to your likes and dislikes and take advantage of what's in season.

This year we had a bumper crop of butternut squash from the vegetable garden, so you may well find it on the menu this winter; butternut risottos, soups, and ravioli, or roasted winter veg with creamy goats cheese. And for pudding; lavender ice cream, plum tarts and blueberry fruit coulis, all from the garden or gathered from the hillsides.

Catered:
We shop, you ski, we cook, you relax and enjoy and then we clear up afterwards: cooked breakfast, tea and cakes, and a three or four course evening meal with wine on six days, one day midweek we take off, but bring you fresh croissants in the morning.
In the mornings wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread & croissants, there's a choice of cereals, yoghurts and hot dishes. Enjoy your breakfast, we take a relaxed view of clearing the table in the mornings. Come back to a different cake each day for tea, help yourselves to hot drinks whenever you wish.
Followed by a relaxed evening meal around the table and finished off with coffee and chocs round the fire.

Drinks:
Have a glass of wine or a beer before dinner in the evening, the wine continues with your food and you can choose red, white or rosé. We enjoy wine too and are always looking for good supplies, most of what we serve comes from the local wine merchant and has proved to be very palatable. We have a small, but tempting range of more exclusive wine and champagne that you can choose to buy.
We also have a selection of nice wine, beers and cans at a reasonable price that you can help yourselves to at any time from the drinks fridge.

Flexi Catered:
Not everyone wants to cook every day of the holiday or to be catered for all week so if you book the whole chalet we offer the option of flexi catered outsied of the peak holiday periods. This means that:
- We leave a pre prepared meal with wine for you on the night of your arrival
- We cook breakfast the first morning so you can concentrate on getting everything else done
- Then we bring bread and croissants in the mornings and leave you a supply of cereals, butter, jams, juices etc and see that you don’t run out of milk or coffee.
- We cook, serve and wash up a three course meal with wine on two evenings of your choice
- You’ll find a good supply of basic goods such as herbs, spices and olive oil to use
- And finally we do a midweek clean just to freshen every thing up again.
The prices for flexi catered are 70% of fully catered and include discounts when over 12 people book.
Self catered in Chalet Brio or La Terrasse:
La Terrasse is available self catered all winter, Chalet Brio is available outside the Christmas, New Year, half term and Easter holidays. You look after yourselves, but the rental price includes fresh bread and croissants on six mornings and a good supply of store cupboard basics for you to use such as olive oil, sugar, herbs etc. We also leave enough for breakfast the first morning; milk, juice, butter etc. If you decide you’d like a break from cooking then we do very reasonable ready prepared meals or there are plenty of good restaurants in Samoens and Morillon.
The prices for Chalet Brio, up to 16 people self catered include a midweek clean. I f you are interested in self catering please speak to us about your particular situation.
