MEALS
We are proud to provide fresh, wholesome, well-balanced and nutritious home-cooked meals for all of our residents.
Our experienced chefs carefully plan and prepare meals each day, working closely with residents to understand their individual dietary requirements, preferences, and nutritional needs. This person-centred approach ensures that every meal is both enjoyable and appropriate, whether catering for specific medical diets, cultural preferences, or personal tastes.
Unlike many care settings where the main meal is served at lunchtime, we choose to offer our main meal in the evening on most days. For many of our residents, this reflects the routine they have followed throughout their lives—where dinner is the main meal of the day. Maintaining these familiar patterns can help support appetite, comfort and overall wellbeing. A more substantial evening meal can also play an important role in supporting good nutritional intake and maintaining a healthy weight.
Most of our food within the home is supplied by Birchall Foodservice, an independent, family-run wholesale provider with over 80 years of experience. Known for their quality, reliability and excellent service, Birchall offers a wide range of fresh, chilled, frozen and ambient products. Their strong understanding of the care sector enables our kitchens to consistently deliver high-quality, nutritious meals.
Our catering department has maintained numerous prestigious awards from local councils, recognising our high standards of food safety, environmental practices, and excellence in the preparation of healthy food and drink. We are also proud to have achieved a 5 out of 5 rating from the Food Standards Agency for food hygiene.
