BreakfastLunchSupperDessertsExercising choice is very important to us all which is why we have a flexible daily schedule. Residents enjoy choosing their food from the breakfast self service bar and lunch from a full a la carte menu. Our sweet trolley is, not surprisingly, proving very popular indeed.

Our catering team maintains the highest standards of traditional home cooking, providing a choice of meals and tempting snacks around the clock served in either of our two dining rooms or in your own room if preferred. We can also cater for private functions and your visitors are always welcome to join you at mealtimes.

Our breakfast self service bar is a real hit with our residents. Popular choices are juices and jams and there is also a range of cereals, breads and fruit as well as a full English for those that want to keep their energy levels up ready for a spot of gardening.

At lunch time, the sweet trolley makes its rounds with tempting cakes and gateaux as well as old favourites.

Head Chef

Jane, our Head Chef, started as a Chef for the local Authority in Gloucestershire approximately 19 years ago whilst learning her profession. After a period of time, she moved on to run her own kitchen at a local school cooking for three hundred young adults, and seventy staff. Some two and half years ago we were lucky enough to gain Jane’s services as our Head Chef. Since then, she has introduced a breakfast bar which is very popular with the residents. Our homemade sweet trolley is also extremely popular with residents and families, filled with delightful desserts including profiteroles, chocolate and strawberry gateaux, apple pies and wonderful jellies. Her menus change daily and offer an excellent a la carte range of meals freshly prepared, using local produce. Our meat is supplied by a local butcher and fruit and vegetables are also grown locally.

Our Head Chef’s forte is her delightful cakes.  Jane says, “My inspiration comes from making birthday cakes for my daughters when they were small, then I went on to produce beautiful wedding cakes for family and friends.  The residents certainly seem to like them.”

2nd Chef

Our 2nd Chef is Daniel Kvasnak from Slovakia. Daniel has been with us now for one year. He trained for five years in Slovakia to become a first class Chef then gained a place in a large Hotel in Slovakia where he worked for four years followed by 20 years as Head Chef at a large restaurant. Daniel likes to prepare interesting meat and fish dishes which look great and taste delicious.
