Food and Drink
"The food deserves special mention: every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared, and exactly what you want after a long day on the slopes. It felt more like fine dining at home than catered chalet food" - Ned, Jan -26
We like to ensure high standards both in the presentation of our food and its taste! That’s why we employ talented chefs who know how to pack a punch in the kitchen and provide high quality food and lots of it! They love to keep busy rustling up your 4-course meals (on 5 evenings), which also include free-flowing complimentary wine throughout dinner. Make sure you save room to indulge in the cheeseboard on the last night!
Menu by Thom Bateman – Celebrity Chef
New for this season Chef Thom Bateman has joined Alpoholics – not as a consultant, not as a name on the menu, but as a partner and future co-owner of the company. If you don’t already know Thom: he’s the chef behind The Flintlock, a 2 time “Great British Menu” contestant, and one of the most-followed cooks on social media – millions of people tune in for his way of doing things: maximum flavour and creativity from simple techniques and everyday ingredients, with results that look and taste like they came out of a Michelin starred restaurant kitchen. Read more about how this partnership came about here.
What is included:
Welcome Canapés and an Aperitif on arrival Saturday
Wake up to the smell of freshly baked croissants and locally delivered fresh baguettes. To accompany this, a continental breakfast is available with a hot option*
A freshly baked treat will be waiting for your Afternoon Tea, with each host adding their own individual flair! You can help yourself to tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
A delicious 4-course evening meal (Canapes, starter, main & dessert) on 5 evenings with complimentary wine**
Children and Food Intolerances:
If you have children under 12 we serve a more child-friendly menu at an earlier meal time. For shared chalets we keep separate meal times for children and adults for the enjoyment of all our guests! Please note that children under 3 are not permitted in shared chalets.
We cater for food intolerances, allergies, and even special occasions so please ensure that full details are available in advance for our staff to prepare, otherwisewe may not have the correct ingredients. For gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan diets we have now introduced a £25pp charge to contribute to the additional sourcing of the necessary ingredients and additional chef time. Our menu is now 100% nut free.
Late Arrivals
Please take note that if your arrival time is after 8:00 pm, we will serve you a two-course meal. For un planned late arrivals after 9 pm we’ll plate up your main course and dessert. This is so that we can adhere to French labour law regarding staff working hours and breaks between working days. However, we wouldn’t want you to miss out on our warm hospitality, so you can relish your welcome drinks and canapés on the following night! If you have a planned late arrival to the chalet after 9pm we will serve a platter of cheese and cold meats for you to enjoy.
*Please note that on departure day, if you are leaving before 8am we are not able to provide the fully serviced breakfast due to working time regulations but you will be provided the continental spread plus bacon sandwiches (or equivalent) to enjoy at your convenience.
**Our dedicated staff will have two days off during your visit. On those days, we will ensure you have a continental breakfast & afternoon tea, and we’ll gladly assist you in making restaurant reservations for the evening if needed.
