Dining

From hearty steak pie and traditional mince and tatties to Friday fish suppers and clootie dumpling, our menus reflect the kind of meals people genuinely look forward to. We follow a rotating menu that changes with the seasons, ensuring variety while keeping much-loved favourites in regular rotation. Breakfast includes cooked options, lunch typically offers soups and sandwiches, and dinner features a satisfying main meal—all made from scratch.

Everyday Dining, Made Personal

Every new resident meets with our chefs to share their likes, dislikes, allergies and preferences, so we can personalise meals from day one. Feedback is gathered regularly through informal chats and structured reviews, and there’s always an alternative available for every meal. We also run a “Resident of the Day” initiative, giving individuals the chance to choose their favourite dishes and feel celebrated.

Residents can decide each day where they’d like to eat—whether in one of our cosy dining rooms, the privacy of their own bedroom, or outside in the garden when the weather’s kind. Hydration Stations are available in every dining area, stocked with juice, water, fruit, biscuits, crisps and home-baked snacks so residents can enjoy refreshments at any time.

Twice a month, our café area also becomes a lively baking hub, where residents and the activities team come together to make shortbread, sponge cakes, and other favourites. These sessions bring joy, sensory stimulation, and a chance to share treasured recipes—turning food into a shared experience.

Celebrations and Special Moments

Our purpose-built Celebration Room offers a private, elegant space where residents and families can gather for birthdays, anniversaries, or just quality time together. The room can be booked by residents and families and used for anything from a casual buffet to a full three-course meal prepared by our chefs—or even a favourite takeaway brought in by loved ones. The space is yours to make memories in.

As part of our all-inclusive care, every resident is treated to a personalised homemade birthday cake, created with their favourite flavours and decorated to suit their style. Whether it’s a classic sponge, a themed design, or a simple cake shared with friends, it’s one of the many small but meaningful ways we celebrate each individual.

For a more relaxed get-together, families often choose our café—a popular, sociable space that brings the feel of a local café into the home. It’s perfect for a cup of tea and a chat together.
