Eating In and Dining Out

La Croix Gites are well equipped for self-catering, but you also have many other options for eating-in or dining-out!

Easy catering options for your cottage

Especially popular on your evening of arrival – Paula is happy to recommend nearby places to eat and to book you a table at a local restaurant.

Alternatively,  you can order meals to collect from the Tapas bar/restaurant in the village, ‘Le Lys et Le Thistle’ (only 2km away) so that you can enjoy a meal in the comfort of your holiday cottage whilst unwinding from the journey and relaxing into your holiday.  Bruno Achard, the restaurant owner and professional chef, can recommend options from his restaurant’s excellent seasonal menu or organise bespoke hot or cold dishes or buffets for you to collect for your family or holiday group.

To celebrate a special occasion or simply to provide for your daily catering needs during your stay at La Croix Gites – a local professional chef, Sam Armitage, is happy to be at your service (for groups of 8+ people).

Please discuss your requirements with Paula in advance if you want to ensure availability of outside catering options.

Cakes delivered to your cottage
