Dinner
at Le Bignon
During the last 5
years, so many of our guests requested
recipes from Peter after having the table
d'hotes dinner that we decided the best
thing was to put them all together into a
book. Dinner at Le Bignon
is the result - not only a collection of
recipes but also information about food
from our region, hints on buying food in
France and lots of cooking tips. Paperback.
93 pages. £6.50 plus 95p p&p. To
order your copy, simply email us for full
details. Bon Appetit!
At Le
Bignon, our aim is to give you
the opportunity to sample the very best
food and wine that this marvellous region
has to offer. ALL
our guests, whether staying in Chambres
d'Hotes or in Vine House, are welcome to
take Breakfast and Dinner. |

It
is easy to see why this region
is known as the Garden of France. All
around us are fields of vegetables and
flowers and our local markets are packed
with regional produce that is a joy to
buy and cook. We are working hard to
expand our own kitchen garden to bring
more and more food straight from the
garden to the table. In addition all meat
and poultry is locally scourced.

Breakfast
is served at 9am. We offer fresh coffee
or Twinings teas and freshly pressed
juice, a buffet of cereals, cold meat,
cheese, smoked salmon, yoghurt and fresh
fruit with breads and croissants, home
made jams and jellies, such as quince,
redcurrant and orange, damson and
mulberry.
Dinner is served in the
dining room or on the terrace at 8.00pm
and you can enjoy an aperitif from the
honesty bar in the sitting room whenever
you like! |

happy to prepare a fully equipped wicker
hamper packed with a selection of
goodies and a bottle of wine.......simply
let us know the day before.
If you would like to take home any of
the wines you taste at Le Bignon, we
will order it for you and store it in our
cellar during your stay.....or why not
enjoy a visit and tasting at the
vineyard...
Please ask for details of our local
restaurants. We will be pleased to book
tables for you......
Bon
