Dining

We strive to provide all residents with a fulfilled lifestyle here at White House Care Home and understand the role that meal-times and food play within that. Residents are presented with a five-star dining experience; our in-house chef takes great joy in producing home-cooked meals that are always varied, contain nutritional benefits and consider dietary and cultural requirements. Our residents’ preferences and best interests will always be at the forefront of all we do, so residents have the choice of where they want to enjoy their meals, from the shared dining spaces to the privacy of their rooms.

As we age, food has a greater impact on our health, and we understand that meals have a great impact on our general health and well-being. Thanks to the spacious and modern dining facilities, relatives and friends can feel assured that all of our residents are enjoying delicious cuisine in a relaxing environment.

Home-Cooked Meals, Served with Care

At The White House Care Home, dining is all about flavour, comfort and familiarity. Our chefs prepare delicious, freshly cooked meals each day, using quality ingredients and changing the menu regularly to reflect the seasons and resident preferences. The main meal is served at lunchtime, and we offer everything from traditional roasts to al fresco dining during the warmer months. Residents are also invited to share their favourite recipes, which our kitchen team is always happy to include.

Freshly baked cakes and cookies are made daily, and snack stations stocked with fruit, soup, sandwiches and drinks are available throughout the day. Birthdays are always a celebration, with cakes baked to each resident’s preferred flavour and special meal requests happily catered for. Loved ones are welcome to join for meals or special occasions, including popular afternoon teas. With a friendly kitchen team including a head chef, sous chef and kitchen assistant, we offer a warm, homely dining experience that feels truly personal.

Thoughtful Dining That Supports Wellbeing

We understand how much mealtimes can impact wellbeing, not just through nutrition, but also through connection and dignity. That’s why we create relaxed, social dining experiences that can be enjoyed in our bright dining rooms, private spaces, or even the garden. For residents living with dementia, we provide adapted plates, fortified meals where needed, and gentle support from our trained staff.

All team members are fully trained in IDDSI (the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative), meaning we can safely cater for residents who need softer or modified-texture meals due to swallowing difficulties.

With calm surroundings, support always on hand, and the flexibility for residents to eat wherever they feel most comfortable, we make every effort to ensure mealtimes are not only enjoyable but uplifting. It’s all part of how The White House Care Home promotes wellbeing; one comforting meal at a time.
