Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2024
- Welcome back to another chateau de Bruges video!
Once again, welcome to all of you who have recently joined the Chateau de Bruges family. We’re glad you’re on board for what has been and will likely continue to be a wild ride!
Also, thankyou once again to all of our long-standing followers who continue to wow us with your supportive comments - If you can find the time to join us for a LIVE premiere at 7:30pm French time Sunday evenings, we would love to see you there!
____________________________________________
So, this week… where do we start… It’s been something different that’s for sure! Not only was this our FIRST EVER TIME having 4 rooms in the chateau and the 2 bedroom gite being fully booked but this is also the FIRST EVER TIME having 19 & 17 guests for dinner.
It was going to be a challenge, especially with Graham away on holiday, but with the help of close friends Agnes & Berthold, will Jake and Danielle manage to pull it out the bag? Watch the video to find out!
As always, thanks again for your continued support on our videos. It would really help us if you could continue to like, comment, subscribe and share our video on other chateau pages to continue growing the channel!
If you think that Chateau de Bruges is somewhere you would like to visit, celebrate something special or just have a relaxing break, then please reach out via our website or email. We would love to hear from you!

When I was living in France a teen announced, "Les Américains ont peur des microbes." Never were truer words uttered.
Where I lived, the family stored their fresh meat in the garage along with just about everything except cheese, including milk and the dog. Surprisingly, the dog never bothered the meat and we never got sick from food poisoning either.
The French clearly had different hygiene standards than we did back home, but they still managed to survive to old age. Perhaps what doesn't k!ll you, does make you stronger.
Contrary to what someone else posted earlier, aprons were not invented to keep germs and bacteria away from food, since they first appeared in 1600 BCE, millennia before humans discovered either germs or bacteria.
I love watching your vlog. However, I rather loath 'know it alls', who in reality, frequently prove that they know very little. I'm afraid if I ever started a vlog, I'd be blocking or unsubscribing people all the time. Those who believe themselves to be living founts of wisdom and knowledge should start their own UA-cam channels and expose themselves to the same condescending and obnoxious treatment as them unreservedly force on the rest of us. They might actually stop doling out their useless and frequently wrong advice. That would be lovely for the rest of us.
If people knew what all happens behind the kitchen doors at their favorite restaurants, they'd probably never eat there again.
Bon appetit!
Haha Rayn! Never were truer words spoken! Appreciate the love and glad you enjoyed the video! Having worked in restaurants most of my teenage years (local chain restaurants and Michelin Star) I can safely say that what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen. But our cleanliness and food prep in the chateau has not failed us yet and we’ve never had a guest concerned. But like you said, some people, when behind the safety of the internet, can’t help but share their thoughts.
Thank you Ryan. You so brilliantly and eloquently expressed what i was trying to convey. We live and work in the real world. In a country which is already doing its best to make starting a business as difficult as it can for us and trying to trip us up at every opportunity so to be pulled up on something so minor whilst trying to provide free entertainment to who we feel are supporters is disappointing. However as you say. Some people cant help but lord over others what they think they know but dont really know.
I'm Canadian and was raised by "country folk" so, no germaphobes--in my family anyway. Thanks for that interesting bit about aprons. My hobby is all things cloth and clothing related, so I knew the garment existed before the understanding of illness/disease, but not how long. The French quote made me laugh.
It’s called home cooking. 🌸
I just want to suggest that you include some flowers on the tables and in the lounge. It just seems to add that extra bit of finish and luxury. You could look at Chateau de Lalande who are famous for their table layouts for guests.
We do add real flowers in the summer Debbie when the flowers are in bloom. 🥰❤️
Thanks Roadrunner! Glad you noticed our centre piece! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 🥰❤️
Aww, Merlin was so happy to see his "Grandparents"...I love that dog and glad he wasn't neglected! Happy that everything went well for your dinner parties. How fun to be able to have a party at a chateau..like they were meant to be used!
Thankyou so much Pam! He certainly was a happy boy! 🥰❤️
What a rave review from your guest! Brilliant!
I know Tania! Soo good! He was a lovely man! Glad you enjoyed it Tania! 🥰❤️
Reading the comments, and oh my, the critics in the peanut gallery! LOL I absolutely love this vlog and look forward to seeing it every week.
Haha everyone welcome to their opinions Carolyn 😅🥰❤️
No worries, we all know Merlin is never neglected. However, I agree that Merlin should not be in the kitchen during food prep. I am very happy for your success, and I wish you all a very successful season. We do love you, Merlin,❤
Thankyou Peter! 🥰❤️
Congratulations on your packed B and B. Glad the kitchen flow worked out for you. The meals sound lovely and what a wonderful review you client left.
Thank you so much Karen! Such a lovely review isn’t it! He was a lovely man! 🥰❤️
What a glowing review! Y’all should be proud of yourself and give yourself a pat on the back for your organization comfortable relaxing atmosphere of the rooms and of the château. So glad to hear everything worked so well. Thank you.
Thank you so much Jdrew! We’re soo thrilled that it went to plan! 🥰❤️
I’m delighted all your well thought out plans fell beautifully into place. You both deserve every accolade!
Thank you so much Judith! 🥰❤️
I have never had a cheesecake fail, but i hold my breath every time I take that ring off. ❤😂
Hahahaha it’s a heart in mouth moment no matter how well you think you’ve mixed it up! 😂😂😂🥰❤️
Congratulations on your successful evenings 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Definitely helpful to keep animals away from food prep areas in the future. So happy the new layout is successful in the kitchen. Hopefully the lounge area worked well. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Thanks Rosemarie! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰❤️
Excellent job Jake and Danielle!
The dinners on both evenings looked perfect.
Dining room and salon so inviting for guests.
I must commend both of you for learning and speaking French in such a short time.
Looking forward to next Sunday.
Merlin is such a sweetie.
Maine USA
Thankyou so much Denise! We are desperately trying to learn French haha! C’est très difficile! 🥰❤️
Congrats on a job well done! One more lighting suggestion...are you able to use dimmer switches with your wiring? I love using them. The soft glow with a lovely fire makes for great ambiance. If you are able to dim the overhead lights I think candles would be a lovely touch...maybe even small lanterns.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the suggestions Tony! 🥰❤️
So happy for you. Everything looked lovely. You did a great job-well done!!
Thanks so much Louise! 🥰❤️
Well done you two!!!! The new kitchen is terrific!!!!
Thanks so much Aunty TuTu! 🥰❤️
Fabulous review for you ! Did you know you were mentioned in Chateau de La ferte video this week about your stairwell chandeliers ! So happy all your guests are smiling & already planning a return. 😊
Yes! Thankyou SWS! We were watching and heard it come up. Nice of them to mention us! 🥰❤️
Hurry to add curtains to your lounge, those windows look naked. And I won't beat a dead horse about the apron. 😉 Otherwise you guys did a great job. I've commented a few times and mentioned that I am involved in weddings. I also am a trained chef and do catering. To do two dinners and a couple breakfasts is a terrific feat. Well done to you and your team!
Thankyou so much Johnann! Means a lot to have someone as expereicned as you are offer us praise. :) Dont worry, the curtains are due to be made and go up before the season. We've been searching for the perfect fabric and making sure the budget is there before spending a fortune on them haha! :)
Wonderful episode showing how capable and prepared you are! That was a demanding menu and it all looked wonderful- both meals! Congrats- you did yourselves proud! ❤️
Thank you so much Rita! We’re so relieved it went well and that you enjoyed the video! 🥰❤️
Well done Jake and Dan, you did an amazing job . Looking forward to testing that cheesecake when I’m over . X x 🎉❤
Ooooo will have to make one when you’re here then! 😂🥰
I am so glad everything went well. Congratulations to you both.
Thank you so much Wendy! 🥰❤️
So happy or you guys! Well done 🎉 I apologetically agree with the no dogs in the kitchen comments. He‘s still young but perhaps he could have a bed in a corner? Still be nearby but not everywhere? Another suggestion would be to keep hair tied up. Again, this is standard practice in the catering industry. Keep up the good work!
Well done. Especially your super star helpers. Glad the kitchen worked out as you had hoped. Other rooms too of course, but the kitchen is the big one. Best wishes.
Thanks Shirley! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️🥰
Well done great job your Chateau will be very successful you all talented on everything you touch
Thankyou so much Danielle! Lovely name by the way! 😂😉😘
Just my two bits but I think the mirror on the fireplace in the salon would look great vertical.
Thanks Highland! A few people also mentioned that same thing. We’re on the lookout! 🥰❤️
Congratulations! You are doing an incredible job. The kitchen is fabulous! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 🥰❤️
I think you’ve done an amazing job and I really enjoy your Vlogs. Danielle has fabulous taste I love the dining room and the way you set the table and I think the sitting room or parlor or whatever you call it with the creamy. White couches is well designed. I do not mean to be critical I just have a simple question, lighting is so important and in a château I would think that you would want softer lighting. Have you considered dimmers for the chandelier and in the room with all the couches why are there no lamps for softer lighting, particularly at night? Again, please do not think I am criticizing you. This is a matter of an opinion and I’m one that believes that dining rooms and sitting rooms need to have a softer, romantic cozier feel to them.❤
Don’t be afraid to share your opinions Donna, everyone’s open to their opinions.
I think the camera really adds a false looking light. The lights in the dining room and salon are really soft colours already and we plan on having a few more lamps around in the salon. Aswell as the candles in the dining room it really gives it a lovely ambience. 🥰❤️
I agree. The lounge room needs some curtains, art work and big plants. It looks a bit sterile. The bone structure is fantastic. Just needs some soft furnishings here and there.
Congratulations on a very successful start.
You have created a destination that I dream of visiting. Lobe from Canada!
Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off. All the best to you!
Thank you so much!🥰❤️
You all did amazing 😊 congratulations xx
Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️
Well done team. You should be proud of yourselves. I just love Merlin,he's such a sweetheart.
You guys are awesome!
Thankyou so much Angela! Glad you enjoyed the video and love little Mers too! 🥰❤️

Thank you so much Po! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰❤️
I read the wonderful review left by your guest and can only say: well deserved. Thanks to your documentation of the run-up to and work on the days, it is clear how well-prepared you were and how you were taking great care with everything. Well done to both of you! Great start to your journey as hosts and chefs.

I'm a bit sidetracked prepping for a super bowl gathering, not as stressful as your gatherings were I'm sure, but I am watching lol! I'm so so pleased that it all went well for you! Job well done, guys! Nice to see Graham and Rachel back, I loved Merlin lovingly crying out at the door for them! Pets for the superstar! xo
I’ll be watching the start of the Super Bowl tonight too Cynthia! Nice to have mum here even if it was for 12 hours!
Merlin is just the best! 🥰🥰
@@ChateaudeBruges💖
Well done! Even without Graham's assistance (bet he felt guilty!). The new kitchen layout seems to have been pretty perfect and very spacious. Meals looked delicious, and I finally have a no-bake cheesecake recipe! Thanks for managing to vlog during this very busy time. Preparing food for such a large group is definitely nerve-wracking, but you did it superbly.
Haha I bet he felt very guilty skiing down the alps after a few afternoon beers! Thankyou so much for your praise, means a lot to us! :D xxx
Hello ! Bravo pour tout ce que vous avez accompli et pour vos sympathiques vidéos ! 🙂 Je voulais simplement laisser un message au sujet du Bœuf Bourguignon : nous avons tous appris la recette traditionnelle avec le bœuf mariné… Mais j'ai vu une émission très intéressante avec le chef Thierry Marx qui expliquait qu'il faisait mariner sa viande juste une heure dans de l'eau gazeuse, jamais dans du vin, et pour une raison simple : l'alcool cuit la viande pendant la marinade et la durcit en surface ! Je n'en avais aucune idée.
Comme vous avez l'air d'aimer cuisiner, je voulais vous laisser ce conseil du chef Marx 😉
Toutes mes amitiés !
quels bons conseils ! Je peux voir comment cela fonctionne car la viande est nettement plus ferme après avoir marinée dans le vin ! merci!
Glad everything went so well! Knew it would, you guys are focused and determined! Glad you did have some help, that would have been too much work for just two. Food looked amazing! Didn’t really see the cheesecake before serving, did you have a raspberry coolie to give it a little more splash of red?
Exactly that David, little drizzle of raspberry sauce on the side. Was absolutely Devine! Will have to show you some of the meals next week. 🥰❤️
Well done, you must be exhausted but pleased as punch that everything went well.❤
Thankyou so much Sue! We’re glad to have had some rest now! 😇
Thought of a few extra dishes to try that would help you as easy to prep ahead. Try making fruit parfait that are frozen, put in the fridge half an hour before serving, something you can make ahead. I have made mango parfait which is delish, garnish with mango puree made from the offcuts and sprinkled with a ginger crumb (crumbled ginger biscuits) and fresh raspberries or ginger mascarpone cream - just a blob, mixed crystallised ginger and mix with the mascarpone. Also made lemon curd parfait (a bit more effort as I made the lemon curd) and chocolate parfait. Also check out the book The art of the Tart by Tamsin Day Lewis, some wonderful sweet and savoury tarts so ideas for starters and desserts. For mains consider duck confit with sarladaise potatoes with a crisp green salad or spiced red cabbage which can be made theday before and reheated. I recently made duck confit which was so easy from Recipe Tin eats check online. Also the classic Lamb boulanger. Love to see you succeed. ❤
Thankyou so much Sue! We’ll be sure to check these all out! We now have a full chateau this Friday night so we will be cooking again! Will try our best to video and show you shots of the finished food this week! 🥰 appreciate all the love and support! ❤️❤️
Absolutely well done the food looks delicious and no doubt tasted delicious you did yourselves proud...very well organised the tables were very sociable ....i love all the reviews on Merlin being in the kitchen etc etc etc from these so called know it alls... did any of the guests find dog hair in their food i doubt or human hair come to that...just keep doing what you are doing the world is full of do gooders who think they know it all ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Pauline. We take great pride in our plating skills and of course no unwanted things were contaminating the food. But as you say, theres someone out there that always says they know better haha!
I am going to make the cheesecake, looks so good. And I would be interested in a apron if they come up for sale. Keep up the good work, you are doing a cracking job. Take care.☺️x
Thanks Treena! Youre the only one to request an apron for now so i dont think well be selling any for now.
Is there nothing you two can't do? Impressing the French with food takes a huge talent and culinary skill. Je suis à court de mots, tout à fait !
Haha thats very kind Tally! We like to think we know what were doing :) xx
Hello! Sorry this reaches you late. I was meaning to get in touch on episode 48 but my phone was playing up. If only I knew someone who’s good with IT! 😊 Anyway, better late than never! Firstly, I have named Graham’s MASSIVE drill... I’ve nicknamed it the Narwhal 😅 Secondly, we were driving down the M20 the other day and there was a lot of spilt paint in the middle lane from one junction to the next. Jake, have you been over and we missed you? 😀Loving the renovations. ❤ The Salon and the kitchen are looking great. I do agree with some comments left though. Please wear masks when you’re creating a lot of dust. That does worry me. Anyway, love to you all. See you again soon. Karen xx
Aww thanks Karen! Lots has changed since you were here last! And we’ve had no paint spillages since haha! Touch wood! 😅 would love to see you and Chris soon! 🥰❤️
Well done …you must be exhausted
Haha we certainly were! 🥰❤️
✨🌞✨
🥰❤️
💪🏻♥️💥
🥰❤️
A tip when the cheesecake doesn’t set serve it frozen 😂
😂😂😂 not a bad contingency! 😂🥰❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
well done a very successful kitchen without any hitches 🥂👏🏼
Where the hell, were you? What’s todays excuse? 😉😂❤️
Thank you so much Kath! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰❤️
😂 leave my Kath alone you! 😉🥰❤️
She’s my Kath to do with…what is needed. 😉😂❤️
@@jimmyconnolly3461 not well in bed 😢
What a lot of tripe some viewers comment!!!! I would hate to have to have anything to do with some of these. people. Your are doing an amazing job both in renovating and the B&B. Your meals look great and the guests were obviously were enjoying themselves.
Thankyou so much Wendy! We’re glad you’re enjoying the videos and liking what you’re seeing! 🥰❤️
Long standing. 😉👍😂
Not old! 😉
I’m guessing you’ve pulled it out of the bag. But, could I congratulate you on something else? 😉😂
You’ll have to wait and see Jimmy! 👍🏼🥰
I think you’ve not fully read what I’ve said?
Well, I’d like to congratulate you on being the busiest you’ve ever been in France , AND!!!!
You filmed it all too. You’re now a professional vlogger that will continue to post weekly, even during the less busy summer months.
You might even find the time to post daily, too….👍🥂😂
Haha no pressure then Jimmy! 😂😂🥰❤️
Looks like it went off without a hitch.
Sure did Barbara! ❤️🥰
Do you remember the ‘age’ thing that I said to you a long time ago. About the ‘Jesus’ comment from someone. I said to you then, that other channels do it and nobody bats an eyelid. This is exactly what’s happening again. Your dog is not the only dog in a chateau kitchen. 😉❤️🇫🇷
Haters Gon Hate Jimmy! That’s why it’s important that the lovers spread more love! 🥰❤️🤗😘
Well done, guys. That must have been very stressful but extremely fulfilling afterwards. Meticulous planning really paid off and the new kitchen layout worked really well for you. I take it back about the black silicone! You must be really happy! Bravo. Can Danielle have more of a speaking part, or is she shy? It would balance the vlogs a bit more as she only gets to nod and it feels odd to the viewer. Only a thought but you are both really hard workers and I love that. ❤️
Thankyou so much Julie! I’ll make sure Danielle gets lots of airtime this week! 🥰🥰❤️❤️
I would really like to try that cheese cake but I don't see a link to, or am I just missing something? You looked tired but happy and I am not surprised that your guests enjoyed their stay. However, if that dear little fur ball is "neglected", I'll eat the hat I just made ☺
I’m sorry Ruth! I’ve just added it now! Recipie Rebel white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. You should find it at the bottom of the description now! 🥰 haha Merlin has been for sure spoilt rotten as always since! 🥰❤️
Thank you very much.
Just watching this for the 2nd time and at 6 minutes 35, I noticed your freezer door wasn’t closed. When did you realise? 😉👍😂
Just watched that bit back Jimmy, it’s definitely closed. What door do you see that’s open?? 😅
Left door of the fridge that you opened. 😉😂
No no, it’s closed haha! 😂
I’m happy that your guests were happy. As a traveler to chateaus from Australia, I would have been disappointed with a three course meal. Chateau meals for me are a true event, 5 or may 6 courses. Not sure how much you charge for the meal ? I have looked at staying at yours although if that’s the menu, I’m sorry, I would skip the home meal and eat out and worst scenario I’d look at staying elsewhere.
A lot of our guests love the 3 courses we offer. Most people dont want their dinner to be a huge event and we try to instill a homelike feel rather than a formal shirt and tie 5 course chateau dinner.
You also have to appreciate that we eat with our guests EVERY night so if we eat 5 courses a night, not only would be knakcered cooking all those courses, but we'd be the size of the chateau ourselves.
You cant please everyone Ann, unfortunately you would be the minorty here and we need to cater for the majority.
Hope you find somewhere else that ticks all your boxes!
Ça manque vraiment de décoration dans le salon,on se croirait dans une salle d attente, pas dans un château ,bon courage 😊😊😊
All in good time, if you follow our other videos you’ll know there’s plenty more to go in there! 🤫🤫🤫
Merlin needs a body cam and start vloging as a chateau dog.
OH MY WORD! What a fantastic idea!!! 😂😂😂😂🥰❤️
You are such lovely people and I’m sorry you’re receiving criticism. In my opinion, dogs and other animals In The kitchen should not be allowed unless it’s your own family kitchen. Serving others for your business with animals in the Kitchen potentially exposes the food and kitchen to airborne dander and hair and feces particles. Congrats on getting your business up and running after much hard work. Hang in the there when people add their opinions as I know this must be difficult to put yourselves out there for the whole world to view.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bev 😇
Congrats, on the dinner triumph! Glad to see and hear the success from your diligence. Your viewers surely want to see you be successful with the chateau as a whole. However, this is a a public platform and the not so pleasant goes along with good. Your viewers are correct in the comments with the (doggy). You must separate your shopping, prep, serving, clean up without any pets near. You may need to hire a pet sitter. Pets are naturally a large part of your daily rituals. However, you must follow every proper measure of a commercial kitchen when you are open for business, regardless of this being your home. Balancing home and personal life is a challenge. Additionally, you should consider, guests who are vegetarian, & or any allergies. There should always be an additional selection of fish as well. Another mention, in the future. Not all guests prefer communal type seating. You should consider smaller, more intimate dining (small round tables) (example) an anniversary, or romantic style of dinner. As a frequent dining out person, at times, I do not want to hear other diners conversations, or have to view their style of manners as well. Surely at times it is nice to meet others, however, that is what the lounge could determine. Please read the comments in a more "hats off" type of thinking. Keep up the good work!
Thankyou so much and yes, negative comments come with the territory unfortunately. But hey, it all helps the algorithm! 😂😂🥰❤️
A family run business that shows their hearts in all that they do. Yes, they have pets, the guests know this before they arrive. Aprons and hairnets. Christ almighty. At least my critiques have a certain, je ne sais pas. Personality is far more than a bloody hairnet…
Haha thanks Jimmy! Everyone entitled to their opinions as always.
You know what we say…
My grandma used to say…
If everyone had the same taste, they’d all be after your grandad! 😂😂
@@ChateaudeBruges😂😂👍
Thanks Jimmy ❤️ ponytail at least next time though! And I will take my apron off to hug my baby xx
@@daniellehussey6455 you’ll do no such a thing when I visit. They’ll be no hairnets or ponytails. Fur babies will get all the fuss and ❤️xxx
when you get up to 300 on own killer baz
Sorry Barry, I may be missing something here?
I’ll be all over Kath, when she posts. All over her…😉
Didn’t take long! And you were true to your word haha! 😂
@@ChateaudeBrugesI’m a man of my word. 😉😂
...neglected by his standards. I have dogs. Completely understand. ❤
That’s exactly the phrase I should have said Sally! Hit the nail on the head! 🥰❤️
Not happy about the dog being in the kitchen x
Do you have pets Carol? X 🥰
What clickbait 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. ??????? Well done not easy cooking for a big group. 😘😘
Never! Could have gone either way Wendy! 😉🥰❤️
hair should have been tied back whilst cooking and dogs should not be in a kitchen not very hygienic having run a cafe for years something that would not be accepted in uk
It’s our home Havvas…. Not a Michelin star restaurant. 🤫🤫
Absolutely unacceptable, that the show is made around the kitchen and serving, while the dishes you prepared were not presented at all.
Haha apologies Egzonel! We were wayyyyyy too busy to get shots of the plates before they went out to guests. If we cook again on the vlog we’ll wear a go pro on the kitchen to get some videos of the meals. 🥰
❤
Dogs should not be in the kitchen. !
Thanks for sharing your opinion Marcie 🥰
clickbait?
We don’t believe in click bait… 😘
Did you watch the video Piara? 😅
❤
🥰❤️
congratulations! 🥣🥩🧄🧅🥦🍰
NO 🍔
Haha thankyou! 🥰❤️
