Home Cooked Food
Mealtimes and snack times are a highlight of the day for many residents, which is why we have a professional chef in each of our homes, preparing and serving well-balanced, nutritional and tasty food.
All our kitchen staff are trained to understand the importance of eating well and staying hydrated, so the food they prepare for our residents supports their physical and mental well-being.
The food is cooked fresh in our very own kitchens using the highest quality seasonal ingredients, and where possible local. We even grow some of it in our gardens with support from our green-fingered residents. Variety is the spice of life, and our resident chef will serve a wide range of meals catering to every taste and diet. Our carefully planned menus offer well balanced, wholesome meals, where traditional dishes feature alongside international cuisine and include varied seasonal options, every day of the week.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the food in our beautiful, sociable dining rooms, but a ‘room service’ option is also available for those requiring a more private dining experience. Where residents have difficulty in feeding themselves, sensitive assistance is offered by our carers who have received training in food hygiene.
As well as the main mealtimes, we also provide a range of light snacks throughout the day, and teas, coffees, water and juices are always available. Our chefs love to surprise our residents by bringing out beautiful homemade cakes and pastries.

Activities are part of our Enjoy Your Day concept, which looks at the key offerings our residents should receive to a high standard every day.
