Food at Newlands Care Home
We understand that food is vital to the health and well-being of those we support. Our trained chefs are passionate about creating food that is delicious, nutritious, nourishes the body and soul, and tailored to personal tastes.
Our catering team offers a very home from home approach to the menu choices we provide. We are highly motivated in ensuring we accommodate resident preferences, specialised diets and nutritional needs. Our chefs hold regular nutritional meetings and these include the residents themselves, discussing meal choices and alternative menus. All our meals are cooked fresh each day within the home utilising local produce. All of our delicious cakes and desserts are made by our talented chefs and snacks and varied drinks are available throughout the day and night.
We provide themed days and evenings to encourage families to be a part of the home, from Fish and Chip Suppers for residents to "Tattie Pot" Nights. We are very proud to also offer a unique approach with our 'Resident of the Day' scheme. This enables each resident on a monthly basis, to not only feel that 'extra bit special' but request their most favourable meal for that day, whether this be a salad or a sirloin steak.
We strive to deliver the person centred care approach and if there is nothing of choice you prefer on the menu please just request for the chef to discuss any alternative options you would require.

Dietary requirements
For those residents who have a dietary requirement, our chefs are fully trained to cater to any request. Regardless of the needs; clinical, religious or ethical, our chefs are fully trained and happy to suit any requests with dignity. This allows your loved ones to keep their own diet safely without feeling excluded. Monthly dietary reviews for each of our residents take place to ensure that your love ones likes and dislikes are always respected.




Café areas
Our cafes are often a hub of activity and residents and friends and family can while away the day watching the comings and goings of the home with hot or cold drink whilst they read a book or catch up with friends. We have a beautiful selection of home baked biscuits, cakes and pastries for everyone to try, which are available throughout the day. If you feel hungry in between meals there is always fresh fruit, smoothies, and snacks prepared fresh to order. We also have fitted life skill kitchens for our active residents and patients who enjoy to prepare their own snacks and bake their own cakes.
Dining experience
It is always a social occasion in our beautiful dining rooms, with soft background music suitable to our residents’ choice with pleasant surroundings. They can choose where they would like to sit and have their meals with friends, or alternatively, if they would prefer to dine alone, it can be delivered to their bedroom. Families are always welcome to join their loved ones for a meal, and we offer a private dining area, where residents and patients can have a personal celebration or just have a family catch up in a more private setting.
