Inspired Options for vegetarians, vegans & pescatarians

This operator believes exceptional food should be for everyone, not just meat eaters. That’s why they go beyond token vegetarian or vegan options. Every week’s menu includes imaginative, satisfying alternatives designed with just as much care and flavour as the main dishes. From rich vegan sticky toffee pudding to Thai seabass with coconut rice, and herb-crusted tofu with Goan curry sauce, they delight in creating meals that cater to your preferences without compromise. Whether you're vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian or fully plant-based, you’ll enjoy a culinary experience that’s every bit as rewarding.

Customisable menu options

Travelling as a group? This operator's Switch Menu' gives whole chalet bookings the chance to tailor the menu to their tastes. Whether it’s a hearty Butter Chicken Curry, a bubbling Homemade Lasagne, or a Tartiflette with Charcuterie, they’ll help design a menu that matches your mood. Lighter options like Chicken Caesar Salad or Soy, Ginger & Chilli Seabream are also available for evenings when you’ve overindulged at lunch.

Your dining experience, your way

Menus aren’t just meals – they’re part of your holiday story. Whether you're digging into a rich lamb shank after a bluebird powder day or sharing a warm brownie after a long ski with friends, every bite is crafted with care.

Staff welcome all dietary preferences and do their best to accommodate allergies and requests. Vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian menus are planned with just as much imagination, and everything is prepared fresh in-house with high-quality ingredients.
