The Restaurant You Didn’t Have to Travel For.
A bespoke fine dining narrative, realized entirely inside your premium Sebago rental.
You didn’t reserve a breathtaking lakefront property just to leave it the moment the sun sets.
Skip the 45-minute drive to Portland’s crowded dining rooms, the erratic coastal traffic, and the endless logistical choreography of coordinating dinner with bedtime rhythms.
Pelt & Plate transforms your kitchen into a silent, professional culinary line for the evening. Operating with absolute discretion, our team delivers an elite, hyper-seasonal tasting menu directly to your table—perfectly synchronized with your family’s evening.
T-60: The Silent Arrival & Forage Reveal
We cross the threshold one hour before service, bringing the morning’s harvest directly from the Casco woods into your kitchen. Utilizing our modular mobile infrastructure, our crew achieves a complete, non-disruptive kitchen setup in under ten minutes with absolute quiet and discretion.
A dedicated, elevated, and kid-friendly meal is served first. We design this menu specifically to satisfy younger palates early, ensuring their evening is taken care of without a single logistical headache for you.
T-45: The Children’s Service
As the children unwind and transition to bedtime, your kitchen undergoes a complete, silent reset. The physical atmosphere shifts: the music mellows, the lights dim, and the dining room is fully transformed.
T-20: The Quiet Reset
Your evening culminates in an undisturbed, world-class four-course tasting menu. This is not a static list of ingredients; it is a sensory translation of the landscape outside your window. Every plate honors raw-edge slate, charcoal linens, custom brass lighting, and the exact provenance of Chef Jeff’s morning forage.
T-0: The Wild Harvest Narrative
An Evening of Uninterrupted Connection.
"The kids are settled. The kitchen is reset. The night is finally yours."
The Early Supper: We serve your children a curated, kid-approved meal first, keeping them entirely on their standard evening schedule.
The Bedtime Window: While you step away to put your children to bed in their own rooms, our team performs a complete, silent reset of your kitchen and dining space.
The Adult Hour: You return downstairs to a fully transformed space—enjoying an immersive, four-course foraged tasting menu in total privacy while the kids sleep upstairs.
The Sovereign Menu
Because our culinary narrative relies entirely on what is pristine, ripe, and wild at the moment of harvest, we do not print traditional menus.
Chef Jeff curates your progression based entirely on the morning’s forage—from wild chanterelles and ramps to preserved elderberry and hand-tapped birch syrup. Your menu is unique to your evening, and presented to you at the table as a keepsake of your stay.
