The kitchen was recently visited by the Food Standards Agency and the home were delighted when they awarded the home with the highest level of safety.
Lisa King, the manager at the home explained: “The food in our home is a fundamental and extremely important part of what we provide our residents. All our food is freshly prepared and the kitchen team works very hard to ensure that all of our residents are offered choice and are involved in the menus that are prepared. We provide healthy and nutritious food, catering for all sorts of different dietary needs.
‘Being prepared for a food safety inspection is an essential part of their role. The inspection is thorough. They look at kitchen cleanliness, how we store our food, food preparation areas and lots more. We’re delighted for Birute and Petru in the kitchen who fully deserve this safety rating for the way they manage their kitchen and for the delicious food they provide.”
