Menus designed around you.

Q: Do children pay the full menu price?

Children under twelve are charged at half the adult menu price and get a smaller portion of the same food, or something simpler if you prefer. Under-fives eat free.

Choose one of these, or say what your group likes and I write a menu around it.

Set menus

Designed for you.

Every menu includes the shopping, the cooking, the service and the washing up. Prices are per person, and menus shift through the season with what the local markets have.

From recent tables

Cooked in someone's kitchen, not a restaurant.

Dishes from recent villa dinners — carried in, plated on the spot, and cleared away afterwards.

Slow-cooked pork with green olives, roast carrot and chive flowers on smooth potato purée — Slow-cooked pork, olives, chive flowers.

Vegetable tartare starters with mango, goat's cheese and herb oil, plated for a villa dinner — Vegetable tartare, mango, goat's cheese.

Chocolate torte with macerated strawberries and berries, dusted with icing sugar and served on slate — Chocolate torte, berries, slate.

Charcuterie and cheese grazing board with cured meats, figs, fruit and nuts — Charcuterie, cheese and fresh fruit.

Round grazing board with hummus, cheeses, cured meats, fruit and crackers — Hummus, fruit and cured meats.

Three grazing platters with cheeses, charcuterie, fruit, nuts and crackers — A grazing spread for a crowd.

Coeliac, dairy-free, nut allergies, vegetarian, pescatarian, halal — say so when you book. The whole menu is rewritten so everyone at the table eats the same thing, or as close to it as makes sense.

No separate "special" plate arriving after everyone else has started.

Menu questions

Before you choose.

Can we mix dishes from different menus?

Yes. The set menus are a starting point, not a rule. If your group wants the octopus from one and the lamb from another, Simon will build that menu at no extra charge.

Is there a vegetarian menu?

Every menu has a vegetarian version, and they are proper dishes rather than a plate of side vegetables.

Do children pay the full menu price?

Children under twelve are half the adult price and get a smaller portion of the same food, or something simpler if you prefer. Under-fives eat free.

Can you cook a menu we have written ourselves?

Yes, within reason. Send the dishes you have in mind when you book. If they suit the villa kitchen and what is available locally, Simon will price it and confirm.
