Freshly cooked, tasty food with plenty of choice is one of our specialities. As we get older, good food becomes increasingly important so our in-house chef makes sure our meals are tempting, healthy and nutritious, and that we cater for speciality or medically advised diets. And there is always someone on hand to offer assistance to those who need it.
