Food & Meals

Food is an important part of daily life for most people and we take great pride in the quality and variety of food we offer. The Home contracts out the catering to a catering firm, who have been with us for a number of years. There is a choice of menu which is changed weekly, providing a balanced and nutritious diet. Vegetarian dishes are always available and specialist diets are catered for.Our catering manager will spend time with each new resident to find out their likes and dislikes and any special dietary requirements.Our food is freshly prepared daily and uses seasonal ingredients wherever possible, some of which comes straight from our own vegetable garden.

Feedback is actively encouraged at our fortnightly residents meetings to ensure the menus cover the type of food that our residents like.

 Family and friends are very welcome to join residents for lunch or supper, at a small extra cost.
