A huge menu that's filled with flavour

Our wide range of meals covers all dietary needs from diabetic to gluten free.

Making sure each dish is delicious is only half the story. We also ensure everything on our menu is packed with goodness, while meeting a wide range of dietary needs. Our expert team continually monitors the nutritional content of our meals, working alongside dietary experts to ensure they’re tasty and healthy.

Additionally, our experienced chefs follow the strict nutritional guidelines of the National Association of Care Catering (NACC). Read more about our food quality and safety.

And who better to ask about our new dishes than our customers? We conduct tasting sessions across the country, giving care home residents and their relatives the chance to try our dishes for themselves.

Our chefs are passionate about producing the widest possible range of quality food. That’s why we’ve created over 200 mouth-watering meals and desserts for care homes to choose from. It all adds up to an irresistible menu from people who know food should taste as good as it looks.

There’s something to suit every appetite, from traditional favourites such as Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding and Sausage Casserole, to more adventurous meals like Curried Lamb with Potato and Tomato, plus a tempting selection of hot and cold desserts. We also offer dishes that meet a particular dietary requirement, so there’s always a tasty choice to tempt your relative.

Award-winning choices for eating difficulties

If your relative experience swallowing and eating difficulties associated with dysphagia, our award-winning textured-modified range is perfect for them. Not only are the choices delicious and nutritious, the  dishes look great too, as they’re the first of their kind to retain an appealing shape after heating.

Making the most of meal times

Working together with care home staff and residents, we help ensure meal times are always enjoyable. Our menus are regularly reviewed so there’s plenty of choice, and we provide appealing restaurant-style and picture menus to help people with dementia.

We’re committed to helping care homes make the most of mealtimes and provide dignified dining experiences, so residents can enjoy their meals in the company of friends.

Take the taste test

If you’d like to try our food for yourself, why not ask care home staff to set an extra place for you at dinner? Alternatively, ask the care home about a relativesevening – we like to drop in regularly to conduct tastings, to give you the confidence your loved one is receiving the very best standards of care.
