Calais restaurants for a large group

[Trickedem]

Does anyone have any experience of staying in Calais with a large group and going for a meal. I am organising the Friday's tour in June and we are looking for a restaurant that can cater for a group of 30 cyclists on a Friday Night. I know lots of charity rides often stay in Calais, so they might be able to recommend somewhere suitable. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks

With that number of people, advanced booking will be required.

If by restaurant you mean a traditional one, I can't help you but on the other hand, I recommend Flunch which is a self service one and offers good food at reasonable prices. Not to be confused with fast food I may add. I always have the steak hache, cooked to your liking, saignant in my case, which means rare in English. Then you can choose your own vegetable. There is also a good selection of cheese and desserts. Flunch is part of the Auchan supermarkets group so find an Auchan and Flunch will be next to it. In 2014, I followed the TdF with 5 other British lads. I introduced them to Flunch and they all loved it. Every town we stopped at in the evening, they always asked where the nearest Flunch was.
I hope this is useful.

Thanks. I have used Flunch before and I agree it is much better thank most similar places in the UK.

I know a lovely place, bistro style, full french menu (but some english spoken, je pense) in the centre. It is not large enough for the Fridays.

It might be worth trying a few places on the seafront that are used to catering for larger groups. Your favourite search engine should help. Bonne chance!

Closes at 9pm- handy for (hopefully) ensuring people get an early night…

Sort of places I had in mind are La Regalade, L'Hovercraft or Le Restaurant de la Plage. I do not know if they can cater for Fridays type groups - you would need to contact them. Le Restaurant de la Plage is in the Hotel de la Plage, so they must have room somewhere!
Or have a scroll thru this lot. Or chat with Calais Tourist Office.

I have actually found a restaurant in Central Calais that has a large upstairs room and looks like it is just the ticket.
