8 DDK guys in 8 Porsche's departing Euro tunnel Thursday around 9.00 am. Taking the scenic route. Any recommendations for a lunch pit stop en-route?

Return Monday evening. Really looking forward to this.

Try Sees as it’s on the old original lemans route before the motorways were built.

Me and johnM found a wonderful restaurant a few years ago in a small village enroute... In I think “conches-en-ouche “ ... Le Donjon. The place locals go into and don’t leave until hours later

Thanks James. Sees is only an hour or so from our farmhouse in Belleme so probably a bit to late for Lunch.
Might even drive to Honfleur if we don't miss our crossing.

I’ve booked Wednesday evening Portsmouth to Caen. Sadly no cabins left so we’ve got the recliners again (boo). Return Monday 16:30 same crossing.
I look forward to seeing some of you again.

Just to update this ...

Not long after we knew CLM was cancelled, I requested a credit from P&O and also from Ibis for our first overnight stay.

Today I received a full refund from Ibis ( was expecting a credit )

I also received from P&O a credit that I can use in the 12months following my original travel dates , to be used on the same route .

So all in all, not out of pocket for anything.

Looking forward to 2021 CLM now

Did the same, found P&O really responsive unlike airlines and other travel companies recently.

The airlines, big travel agents etc are equally responsive if you’re happy to take a credit note, if you want a refund (which you are entitled to) they seem to be making it deliberately painfully hard.

I can't get Eurotunnel to delay my booking by s year for clm 2021!

They will not roll it over the end of 2020.

Anyone else having this issue and know a solution?
