Catering Information for Chalet Becoin

Breakfast

For breakfast you can eat as much or as little as you like. Choose from fruit juice, cereals, muesli, fresh French bread with butter (including Meridian Almond Butter) and preserves, as well as eggs, porridge or one of the hot options including sausages, bacon and of course English tea or French coffee (and Rocks Organic Squash, for the children).

Friday: Fried Egg, sausage, bacon & fried bread
Saturday: Sausages, grilled or fried tomato, scrambled eggs & mushrooms

Afternoon Tea

For afternoon tea (every day including the chalet hosts day off) is the most informal meal of the day, help yourself to fresh bread, butter and jams, biscuits and home made cake or scones, either eaten at the table or relaxing beside the fire. 

Dinner

For Dinner, one of the highlights of the day, chalet hosts use fresh seasonal produce.   Your hosts cook a 3-course evening meal (on 5 nights) and on the final evening of your holiday, your chalet host will produce a 4-course evening meal including a local cheese board and port.  The evening meal is served at approx. 8pm.

To complement your meal we serve free and unlimited good quality red and white wines during the course of dinner.  After dinner fresh ground coffee or decaffeinated coffee as well as tea are served in the lounge.  In addition, a wine delivery service is offered giving you a greater selection of wine while on holiday.  Please contact us for further information on this service.

The chalet hosts are used to adapting the menu to accommodate your food preferences. If you do have a specific dietary need (e.g. Vegetarian or Coeliac) or an allergy, please let us know at least 14 days prior to your holiday start date. Many food preferences can be dealt with on arrival. Please note that French alpine supermarkets do not have the same range as British supermarkets, therefore if you have very strict dietary needs it is helpful if you can bring a few items.

Children's Food

Children aged 11 and under will be served High Tea at around 6pm. This is provided at no extra cost and ensures that your child's normal routine is not disturbed: soft drinks (including Rocks Organic Squash & Cordial) or milk are served with the meal. It also ensures that adults can enjoy their evening meal, which is served at 8pm. If you have booked a whole chalet then you can eat together - please speak to your chalet hosts on arrival.

Special Occasions, Christmas & New Year

Birthdays and anniversaries can be made even more memorable with a special cake and a glass of bubbly - please just speak to your chalet host about this on arrival.   An alpine chalet is a wonderful place to spend the festive season. We provide Christmas trees and decorations. On the day itself, you can look forward to aperitifs, turkey with all the trimmings, flaming Christmas pudding, mince pies, and of course Christmas crackers.

For New Year most of our resorts will have torch lit descents, fireworks and other celebrations. Alternatively, you could just enjoy New Year's Eve dinner in your chalet with a glass or two of fizz.

Please note that in all of our chalets, your hosts will eat dinner with guests.  The chalet hosts have one night off a week and as such an evening meal will not be provided.
