Share a meal with a local couple
We are an english-speaking couple who have been living in France and welcoming travellers since 2007. We have just completed our farmhouse kitchen and dining space (after 10 years of dreaming and 2 years of building!) - so we offer a relaxed space to eat in. In the summer months, we would propose a meal outside in the courtyard or garden.
We offer a welcome drink, a starter (or nibbles), main course, dessert and coffee. Drinks (other than welcome drink) are not included but you are welcome to bring your own wine.
We can agree on a menu or menu style when you book - I am happy to cook meat or vegetarian - just as long as everyone coming agrees to share the same meal.
With 2 days notice, we can provide a meal any night or if you wish, a Sunday lunch.
We live in rural France - 1.5 hours from Calais and 2.5 hours from Paris by car - we also offer accommodation (www.farmhouse.fr) or recommend other larger local accommodations.

I am a kiwi who has escaped to rural France with my partner Nik (part english/part german). When we are not renovating our old farmhouse, we like to make "things"; from preserving food to handcrafts to sculpture! We have been hosting people from around the world via Workaway and the best part of this experience is the shared meals - Eataway is the obvious next thing! :) I love experimenting in the kitchen - I would say my style of cooking was a mix of english/french but I love Middle Eastern food, Nik loves Italian and Japanese... okay, we just love food, but best of all, sharing food :DWe are in rural France -1.5 hours from Calais and 2.5 hours from Paris (by car) but we have accommodation onsite (www.farmhouse.fr) so you can stay and enjoy a meal at the same time :)

Expect a great meal with these two, fresh food to make up scrumptious salads and sides, and Nik is a demon on the barbeque. The meal will be so much more with Nik and Donna, they are such great people

I ate many meals with Donna and Nik when I was in France. I can honestly say I never had a bad meal, delicious fresh food, Donna and Nik are great hosts, you always have a fun time and I recommend it.
Donna is a star! With a few ingredients a meal appears and the taste ? Superb.
I went last week for a of the cuff meal and left feeling happiest man alive! Her cooking lifts the clouds on a wet day.

Highlight of our recent trip to France was dinner at Donna & Nik’s. Amazing 5 courses, local food, some from their garden, wine pairings. Farmhouse ambiance w/5star food & hosts. Don’t miss it — GO!
