Join us as we adopt the Swiss Alpine tradition of Raclette, of melting hot cheese straight from the wheel onto your plate. We have fire pits, heat lamps, mulled cider and hot melted cheese to keep us warm and happy as the weather cools down. We will offer an a la carte Raclette menu paired with your favorite South Hill cider.

Max party size is 6.

Here is some info on Raclette from Eater:

Raclette has more than one definition. Raclette is a Swiss cheese dish, a cultural land mark, the name of a cheese, a table top appliance, a dining experience, a great time!
Raclette is very popular in Europe, especially in the Swiss Alps and other ski regions. And that’s where it’s said Raclette came from.

Back in the days, Swiss shepherds from the French speaking Valais region needed to bring food up to the Alps that was relative cheap and wouldn’t spoil easily in the hot summer month. So they brought cheese and potatoes. While the potatoes roasted in the fire, a big piece of cheese was put close to the fire. Once it started melting the cheese was taken away and scraped of the cheese onto the baked potatoes. This was not only filling and nourishing but also delicious. In French ‘to scrape’ translates to ‘racler’ and this is where the term Raclette comes from.

Today, few houses have an open fire place, so to simulate the process we now have Raclette Melter that hold a block or half wheel of cheese under a heating element. Once melted, the cheese is being scraped off onto the prepared potatoes.

Thank you ‘Cheeses from Switzerland’ for helping to sponsor these nights!
