Quality Food
Dining in a Barchester care home is a delightful, social experience to look forward to and be enjoyed by all. Our teams of experienced chefs prepare menus which comprise fresh, seasonal ingredients so that every meal is not only nutritious but also looks great and tastes delicious. It is important that our residents eat what they like, whether a lovely wholesome tasty shepherd's pie, or a gourmet delight of beef stroganoff. The dishes we prepare reflect and include the likes and requests of our residents.
We pride ourselves on offering a balanced, nutritious diet using fresh, quality local ingredients, to meet all our residents' preferences and their specific dietary needs. All our food is prepared by our excellent team of highly trained chefs.
Our homes provide residents with a choice of homemade dishes and freshly baked goods each day which residents can choose to take in the dining room or, if they prefer, in the comfort of their own room.
The Barchester Chef Academy
The Barchester Chef Academy offers training for all our chefs; from new apprentices starting on their catering career to master chef programmes for our experienced, already highly qualified chefs. Paul Rankin, the celebrity TV chef works closely with us on our Master Chef programme and our Cooking with Care initiative.
Our chefs learn how to cook all types of food to suit all tastes; they also learn how to cook and serve special diets, soft diets and ethnic dishes. Many of the dishes they cook have been included in our Barchester residents' recipe book which started from our Chef Academy and is endorsed by Paul Rankin.
