Dinner, Without the Washing Up
Some evenings at The Old Post Office call for the local pub, and some call for staying exactly where you are. That’s where our private chef partnership with Yhangry comes in, a way to enjoy a proper, restaurant-quality dinner in the cottage kitchen without anyone having to cook, serve, or clear up afterwards.
How It Actually Works
It’s simpler than you’d think. You choose the style of evening you’re after, from a relaxed family meal to a full multi-course tasting menu, then have a quick consultation with your chef about preferences, dietary needs, and anything local you’d like included. On the night, your chef arrives, cooks in the cottage kitchen, serves everything up, and leaves the place spotless. All you have to do is turn up hungry.
What’s on the Menu
The options are genuinely flexible. A gourmet breakfast or brunch before a day on the coast, a multi-course fine dining evening for a birthday or anniversary, a warm, casual family dinner after a day of walking, or a BBQ out on the deck making the most of the outdoor space. Whatever the occasion, the menu is built around what you actually fancy, not a fixed set list.
Why It Works So Well Here
Part of what makes this feel special is the setting. The Old Post Office already has that slow-down, log-burner-and-good-company feel, and a chef-cooked dinner just leans into it. Instead of a night out, you get a proper occasion at home, with the fire going and nowhere to rush off to afterwards. It’s a lovely way to mark a special trip, or simply to treat an ordinary evening like something worth remembering.
Booking Your Evening
The private chef service is available on request, so it’s worth getting in touch ahead of your stay to arrange a date and talk through what you’re after. Whether it’s a quiet dinner for two or a full family feast, your chef will build the evening around you.
