Jenna May Food was set up by Jenna Beaugey in 2006 in Cape Town, where she built up an exceptional reputation catering for large events as well as private clients. Luckily for Chamonix, she recently re-located to the valley to join her husband Sam, a locally born and bred High Mountain Guide.

Jenna's team of chefs are passionate about good food, simply but skillfully prepared, cooked and creatively presented. They use only the very best ingredients and use locally-sourced produce wherever possible. All their chefs are from a fine dining background and are driven by uncompromising standards of food preparation, faultless service and attention to detail. They are equally comfortable cooking a small home dinner as they are running an event for 500 people. They apply the same passion for food and attention to detail whatever the event.

When catering in your chalet, they will provide a sumptuous breakfast with a cooked option, delicious home-made cakes or biscuits on your return from the mountain and a gourmet three course evening meal 6 nights per week. 

For events, they will discuss your requirements and tailor-make a catering plan that suits your needs.

They offer 3 to 6 day packages and will agree a delivery time that suits you! Their meals are freshly prepared each day so all you have to do is reheat and serve. They come in disposable recyclable trays so there is no washing up!

With a wide range of meals on offer you will be spoilt for choice, dishes include; roast chicken, honey glazed roast pork with caramelised apples and beef bourguignon. They also have plenty of vegetarian options such as tartiflette, mushroom croquettes, lasagne or coconut and lime vegetable curry to mention just a few. All meals are served with fresh bread and wine is included with each adult meal.

Once they receive your booking they will ask you to choose the dishes for your group.
