Hello, my name is Ella, and I have the privilege of being the Head Chef here at Glenroyd. I take great pride in preparing high-quality food, and there's nothing that brings me more joy than seeing our residents savour the dishes that my team and I create.

Our Hospitality team and I are wholeheartedly dedicated to providing our residents with seasonal home-cooked menus that offer a wide range of choices while prioritising nutrition and quality. We make sure to cater to specific individual dietary needs and all appetites, ensuring that everyone can look forward to exciting and satisfying meals.

The food we produce holds immense importance for our residents, which is why it's absolutely imperative for us to continuously seek their feedback and consistently meet the nutritional needs of each and every resident who chooses to call Glenroyd their home.

With 15 years of experience in the care sector I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role. My passion for baking even led me to run a successful cupcake business in the past. I can honestly say that I love the atmosphere and ethos here at Glenroyd, and I'm truly grateful to be a part of this wonderful community.
