A Passion For Food

"...for 20 years Huski has ruled this roost ....The owners come from food orientated backgrounds, and used to do all the cooking themselves. Now they've brought in their own chefs... Try the honey and mustard duck with sage-infused cannellini beans and the wonderfully-named dessert Mont Blanc Mess...'" Food and Travel magazine - Feb 2006

If you consider good food an integral part of a good holiday, then look no further, you have found the perfect foodie chalet company! At Huski we use the freshest ingredients, we don't tend to stick to a set menu preferring the inspiration of our talented cooks. We also have pledged where possible to use free range eggs in all our catering!.  This winter we're going back to our roots, basing our cuisine on Classic French and the Best of British; beautifully prepared and offering a hearty end to the day!

A note about our catering

Families: Kids high tea is served on 6 nights allowing parents the chance to book a local babysitter and eat out alone should they wish.
6th evening: for guests who's rather not eat out a second night we'll leave a courtesy Farmhouse supper consisting of a cheese board and some delicious home made soup! Alternatively full chalet bookings who'd like a 4 course meal may opt for paying a supplement. (Catering: 3 nights out of 4 for weekends, 2 nights out of 3 for mid week breaks).

We're passionate about local food and organic or farm reared products. If you would like to experience a week of organic cooking please let us know. A supplement will apply and we can only cater the whole chalet on this basis.
