Last covers available

December at La Petite Bouchée is always special, but this year’s Chef’s Table feels particularly magical. After months of planning, tasting, and fine-tuning, our December menu brings together the very best of the West Country: rich seasonal flavours, comforting winter dishes, and a few surprises designed to delight.

Our first Chefs Table sold out in record time, and we’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response. It’s been wonderful to welcome guests back into the restaurant and share the intimacy, theatre, and warmth that makes Chef’s Table a little unique. Evening service is completely sold out. 

Lunchtime Availability — Only 5 Covers Left

If you’ve been hoping to join us, we still have a rare pocket of availability:

✨ Wednesday 18th December – Lunch

1pm arrival, 1:15pm service

Only 5 covers remaining

This is the perfect opportunity to experience the December Chef’s Table in a relaxed midday setting — whether it’s a pre-Christmas treat, a long-awaited catch-up, or simply an escape into beautifully crafted seasonal food. You can see the menu here. 

Special ExFF Pricing

In celebration of our involvement with Exmoor Food Fest (EXFF), we’re offering a special lunchtime rate:

• £75.00 per person
• £55.00 ExFF Offer Price (limited availability)

Exceptional value for a multi-course, locally sourced menu prepared by our Chef-Patron — a true taste of the West Country at its most festive.

A Taste of What’s to Come

Expect winter produce at its peak, deep comforting flavours, elegant festive touches, and dishes shaped by the landscape and larder around us. Each course at the Chef’s Table is introduced personally, giving guests a connection not just to the food, but to the story behind it.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to book — this is it. These final lunchtime seats will not last long.
