"Fantastic place for pre-schoolers. Abbi is a great cook. We really enjoyed the evenings with dinner - a great chance to socialise and get to know the other guests."
Mas de Jouas suits sociable fun families, single parents and new parents who have been missing those social occasions, love good food, wine and conversation!! Meals are served in traditional chambres d'hôtes style with guests eating together (once the kiddies are tucked up in bed) with us always joining in (we serve one traditional French "whole family" lunch)! We won an award from BFB in their "Foodies" category 2009!!!
Breakfast (served at 8.30-10) is a mix of fresh fruit, cereals, different daily pastries (including drop scones, waffles, pain perdu and the usual French traditions), toast, yoghurts, jams, juices, tea and coffee. Mums and Dads with early rising children, or just early risers are welcome to come down to the kitchen early to make up bottles, give the little ones some cerealbefore main breakfast or just have a strong cuppa! Older children (and parents) often wander down in their jammies while parents are still getting up to play or watch cbeebies!
We invite our guests to join us on the terrace in the evenings adorned by candlight and laterns for delicious gourmet meals prepared in-house by your hosts Abbi and Danny. Dishes are often prepared using popular South West France recipes and techniques, supplemented by Danny's carefully selected free-flowing award winning bottled wines from neighbouring Cahors, Gaillac and Marcillac and ofter some other treats! For private time or anniversaries/birthdays we can arrange a romantic candlelit meal for two on the terrace (on no dinner evenings)!
Our meals vary daily and we provide a weekly information sheet outlining dinners and days out alike, we do one full 5-course dinner, a BBQ accompanied by Dans Cocktails, Paella every week, Sunday lunch, taster evenings and we order in our wonderful local pizzas for an early evening if you don't opt for free babysitting. There are no meals one night so you can either head out to a local restaurant (babysitting extra) or sample local market produce by having your own picnic on the terrace or do wine tasting. We cater for vegetarians, coeliacs and specific tastes as best we can.
Childrens meals are served 17.30 all together on the terrace. We serve set healthy kiddy friendly meals from roasts, fish, pasta, sausages etc always served with veg and fruit is available from the fruit bowl with a dessert/yoghurt.
There is a guest fridge where you can store food for cold picnics or snacks for your children and you are more than welcome to prepare salads and sandwiches to eat on the terrace at lunchtime, or we can provide picnic hampers/cool boxes and plates etc with our favourite recommended picnic spots in the Aveyron. Or even a fully loaded hamper!
Drinks from the guest fridge are also included in the price for "on site" consumption and includes soft drinks, select boxed wine, beer and milk. All other bottled wine and champagne drunk on the premises MUST be purchased from our extensive wine list.
