Poll: Team Dinner in Normandy
Hi all,
We’ll be hosting a team dinner later this week at Chateau Coliving, and need to plan for it. Sorry for doing this at the last minute!
Seafood is a major specialty in Normandy. But first, is someone allergic? Do people actually eat it? What are your dietary restrictions?
- I’M ALLERGIC TO SEAFOOD
- I will eat seafood
- Not vegetarian, but I don’t eat seafood
- I’m vegetarian
- I’m vegan
Katia shared the following:
Seafood platters—Normandy Specialty! You can order (or we can order for you) big seafood platters directly from the fishermen - it is kind of THE thing in Normandie - they do these impressive plateaux with oysters, crabs, shrimps etc. for a fraction of the price of what a catering company would charge. Then on your side you just have to buy bread, butter, some salad and a cake or something for dessert. It’s not a fully catered meal but very easy to organise for so many people and unless you have many people who don’t eat shellfish could be a great option. The one we recommend the most is this poissonnerie.
Another option is to use Super U catering service, you just have to call to order and pick it up. It’s good quality and works well for cocktail dinatoire (charcuterie platters, small bites, etc.) style.
This rotisserie can also come on spot although we haven’t tried it yet.
I had a chat with Xavier about it - our dining room can fit up to 25, 32 would not be possible I’m afraid. So in this case the options would be - outdoors or in the workspace for a dinner like that on spot.
Ordering seafood + some catering items at the supermarket sounds like a good plan. Once we know how many people eat seafood, we can evaluate quantities, menu items, etc.
Also when is the best time for this?
- Thursday
- Friday
- Saturday
I excluded Sunday, since most shops are closed on Sundays.
