Thanks…it’s what I suspected. I’m assuming I’ll have to find a place that put doesn’t include an evening meal and head out to eat.Dinner in Beilari is usually at 7.30pm.
Great suggestion! It’s definitely worth a shotPersonally, I would contact them and tell them your situation. I bet they'd put a plate aside for you.
I was just emailing with them to book a room for April. They told me they "do not accept guests that arrive after 8:30p." I'm not sure on their curfew rules.Arrive at Beilari before 10 pm. They will tell you this. The door is locked at 10. No one will answer the door after that time.
I say this as I was on the same schedule as yourself, also in August. The bus was delayed and our arrival was 10:05. Racing up to the hostel was a waste. I had to find somewhere else to sleep that night. The Pilgrim office was still open, believe it or not, and their suggestions proves most useful.
Both times I've started in Saint-Jean I arrived with the last train from Bayonne approx 8.10 PM and managed to get dinner (pilgrim's menu) at the Hurrup Eta Klik restaurant on Rue de la Citadelle (main pilgrim street)Greetings all!
I have flights booked for the end of August and with the timing I will not be arriving into St.Jean before 8 o’clock in the evening. I was hoping to stay at Beilari but I imagine an 8:00 to 8:15 arrival will be too late for dinner. Can anyone tell me what time they serve the meal? Any other recommendations for a place to stay and/ or a place to eat before I bed down for the night?

In 2019 my Camino partner had a late arrival to Beilari. They did save a plate for her. Just let them know.Greetings all!

Seems they have become more understanding to late arrivals. My experience with Beilari in September 2013 was when the train from Bayonne was delayed I had to give up my reserved bed. I called the Gite from Bayonne train station to inform her we would be late, possibly arriving after the dinner bell. She was quite stern informing me I would have to give up my bed. I don’t recall the exact time we strolled up to the pilgrims office, a little past 8:00PM. While waiting in line, I decided to knock on the door to the Gite, a woman answered. I was filled with excitement as I introduced myself, she was abrupt and short with me telling me my bed was given away. Oh, I explained. I just wanted to meet you, to say hello. She closed the door. I got the feeling I was interrupting something, dinner perhaps? The pilgrims office did a wonderful job finding beds for us who didn’t have a plan B. My first Camino started just the way it was meant to. In the attic above Gite Le Chemen ver I’Etoile with an Irishman.Greetings all!

Go with what they say. I have not been to SJPP in 6 years. Things change.I was just emailing with them to book a room for April. They told me they "do not accept guests that arrive after 8:30p." I'm not sure on their curfew rules.
Paris!.... and all these stories about "arriving late" somewhat take me to another topic (which just happens to be yet another ongoing thread) namely - (to simplify) plod on ahead or spend the night in Paris and take train next day.
Guess which way I am leaning?!
Curiosity piqued. What are these "activities"?It isn't so much the dinner as the activities which accompany dinner which you may be missing. It is kind of like an "orientation" lesson to beginning your Camino. Sets the tone...
It has been a while since we stayed there, but I think we played a game where we did introductions and talked about our reasons for being there.Curiosity piqued. What are these "activities"?
Thank youIt has been a while since we stayed there, but I think we played a game where we did introductions and talked about our reasons for being there.
