Meals at our care homes
We know our residents expect high standards, a good variety of quality food and nice surroundings. We believe mealtimes should be a real occasion, something to look forward to. In our homes, we try to make sure that meals are an event themselves!
Breakfast is literally anything goes. Whether that be a full-English breakfast, cereal, porridge, prunes, grapefruit, toast, tea, coffee (and) or orange - the choice is yours.
Lunchtime is 3 courses, the first of which being soup with the main course being a roast dinner 6 days a week (each Friday is fish, chips n' peas) and a tasty pudding to satisfy a sweet tooth.
The evening meal is a choice of at least 4 different options (for example scrambled egg and waffles, sausage n' mash, chicken burger and chips, scampi n' fries etc), with another dessert to follow.
Finally, we finish the day off with supper which could be hot horlicks and cake for example.
Our homes operate on 4 weekly menus which are rotated each week, so you can rest assured that there is plenty of choice to tickle those taste buds. Here is a sample menu to give you an idea of what is on offer:
- On each day there is an alternative dish, for example salmon or fish braised in milk etc.
- Special diets can be catered for, for example diabetic, gluten free etc.
