Breakfast is yogurts, cereals, fruit juice, coffee and bread - don't be surprised to see that the coffee, tea or hot chocolate is taken French style - a soup bowl! Typically lunch is a DIY picnic made up at breakfast time (great choice of breads, meats, cheeses, pasta, salad, fruit, sweets etc). You can also return to the centre for a hot lunch (pastas, schnitzels, steaks and chips plus unlimited ice cream) if you let the manager know (good for snowy days). Dinner is a 4 course buffet - typically a salad bar style starter, choice of 3 or 4 main courses - most often including fish, cheese selection, fruit, dessert and ice-cream freezer. The UCPA staff lay on an entertainment program each week, including stretching in the early evening, crepe making, quiz, sketch evening, karaoke and some evenings a live band.
