Meals


Meals are planned to a regular cycle, ensuring that residents receive at least one hot meal per day. Menu Planning is considered to be a joint responsibility between the Manager and the Cook.

All menus are prepared 3 weeks in advance, as 3 separate weekly menus, for Dinner and Afternoon Tea/Supper.

Each meal will provide for a choice of main courses and desserts, and the objective of the Home is to offer a variety of dishes that are both appetizing and nutritious.

Menus are planned to take into account the following:

  • The varieties of fresh, dried/tinned, frozen and chilled foodstuffs available. Wherever possible, fresh produce is used.
  • Individual resident likes/dislikes, as identified in appropriate Care Plans. In this respect the resident will be consulted as needed regarding the choices available. The participation of relatives/advocates is encouraged.
  • Special religious and/or cultural requirements, as identified in individual Care Plans, particularly the recognition of those foodstuffs forbidden by religion.
  • Residents' special clinical dietary needs, as identified from the Care Plan.


    We are proud to have been awarded the 'Healthy Eating Heart Beat Award' by the North East Lincolnshire Council.
