Fresh

All food and meals at Highgate Lodge are prepared and made fresh on-site every day by our qualified team.

Nutritious

Our residents are provided with a nutritious choice of meals. All specialised diets and requests are catered for.

Approved

Our menus are designed with nutrition in mind and are audited by dietitians to ensure the quality.

Dining

Mealtimes are an opportunity for residents to socialise, whilst enjoying a nutritious dish of their choice. We cater for all dietary requirements, and if a resident would prefer something that isn’t on the menu, we do our best to cook it for them! Residents are invited to sit at our dining table, but some may choose to eat in their rooms at times.

Should assistance be required, staff are happy to help, ensuring that all residents enjoy nutritious meals. In addition to home-cooked, hot meals and drinks regularly served by staff, residents have access to snacks and fruit juices at all times.

The food at Highgate.

Our own qualified cooks prepare fresh, home-cooked meals on-site, using local produce where possible.

Our kitchen committee meets regularly, and is an opportunity for residents, relatives and staff to suggest menu ideas, and improvements to our dining service.

While we run the regular meal times in the dining room, residents are able to dine in their rooms, or request refreshments in between, if they prefer, and we can cater for most special dietary needs. Relatives are also welcome to join us for meals.

In addition, there are always tea, coffee, biscuits and delicious cake available for residents and their guests.
