Sykes Holiday Cottages serves up a treat in staycation partnership with top chef

A holiday cottage operator has teamed up with one of the nation's most celebrated chefs to launch an exclusive staycation dining experience.

Sykes Holiday Cottages has partnered with renowned chef Simon Rogan to enable holidaymakers to sample a 'restaurant at home' with gourmet food delivered directly to their holiday cottage doorstep.

With exclusive monthly menus and seasonal specials, including Valentine’s and Easter, Home by Simon Rogan menu boxes are available from £40 per person – with optional extras such as a wine flight, British cheese board or flowers.

The three-course meals are pre-prepared by Simon and his team of chefs, with each menu featuring produce harvested from his farm in the Cartmel Valley, alongside seasonal produce from trusted local suppliers.

All guests have to do is follow a few simple step by step instructions to finish off the restaurant quality dishes in the comfort of their Sykes holiday home.

Simon Rogan’s award-winning ‘Home by’ meals started in lockdown, initially for those living in and around the Cartmel Valley. However, popular demand led to a nationwide roll out, as well as a unique collaboration with Sykes, which means that the boxes are now available exclusively to their guests throughout the UK.

Graham Donoghue, chief executive of Sykes Holiday Cottages, said: “On our guests’ behalf, we’ve tried and tested these meals ourselves and they really are exceptional. We believe a holiday is all about the finishing touches and this very special dining experience for our guests will certainly help to create holidays to remember.”

Simon Rogan added: “We’re really proud of how our meal boxes have developed to become a permanent part of the business and this collaboration with Sykes is the next logical step in offering them to those holidaying across the UK.

“Our unique collection of seasonal three-course menus are perfect for those who would like to treat themselves to a memorable experience with minimal effort during their staycation getaway - offering the best ‘at home’ dining experience in the UK.’’

The Valentine’s Weekend meal box, is available to order now for collection or delivery on February 11 and 12. It includes half a bottle of sparkling wine per person alongside a specially designed seven-course taster menu.
