It was fantastic to see Lisa from the Bee-lieve Foundation, Emma from Crossroads Care Surrey and Sandra from Silver Friends. Thank you all so much for coming and for everything you do for the community in Woking. Thank you also to Paula from West Hall Care Home, it was lovely to have you with us.
Our wonderful Chef's put together an amazing tasting menu, which included Gazpacho, Smoked Salmon bites and Lemon Posset to name a few of the delicious dishes!
We cant wait to be doing more events like this and we are incredibly excited to be cooking for our first residents soon.

Lambs on the Loose!

Spring arrived at Denmead Grange Care Home this morning, carried in on wobbly legs and  with the softest bleats imaginable. On a bright cool morning 2 lambs; Barney & Bambam from Em’s Farm arrived and brought with them the special delight and excitement that somehow only animals can conjure.

Residents enjoyed a cuddle or stroke, a display of football no less, some enthusiatic corridor touring and sprinting and very keen bottle feeding. This is a morning which brought both joy and sunshine.
