What kind of food can I expect?

Eating together is an important part of any holiday and we know how tricky it can be to please everyone in the family. PGL Family Adventures include breakfast, lunch and dinner; making food one less thing for you to think about. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will usually be served in the dining room.

We can cater for most diets (please let us know when you book), all meals will always include a vegetarian option. Please ensure that you have advised us of any dietary requirements before the start of your holiday.

For all UK holidays the first meal on arrival will be the evening meal and the last meal will be lunch. On our French Adventures the first meal on arrival will be your evening meal and the last meal will be breakfast.

Relax, refuel and enjoy some quality family time, without needing to do the cooking or the washing up! Tea, coffee and flavoured water will be available at all mealtimes. We also offer a wide choice of soft drinks, craft beers, ciders and wine (additional cost) at Barton Hall and Caythorpe Court, who benefit from an on-site bar for the use of family guests. (Please note: children will be asked to vacate the bar at 10pm).

French Adventures

If you are visiting Chateau de Grande Romaine on one of our French Adventures you can expect all of the usual PGL family friendly food, but with a Parisian twist. Enjoy a continental breakfast with croissants (of course!), a tasty lunch buffet and two course dinner (including a glass of wine for the adults). On excursion days our centre team will even supply packed lunch items for you to take with you if you wish. 

Food Allergies

We wish to work with all of our guests to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. We expect parents/guardians to supply any information in relation to food allergies and intolerances prior to travel. On site, we aim to give as much information as possible so guests can make informed food choices. At each meal time, allergy information will be clearly displayed for each dish. If guests are ever in doubt about a product or dish, we recommend they immediately ask a member of the catering team or their group leader who will speak with our catering manager for clarity.

We ask suppliers to provide nut free products. However some food items are made in factories that use these ingredients. We do not sell nut products in our shop and ask that you do not bring any food items that contain nuts to our centres.
