Healthy & tasty food
At Chestnut Lodge we provide a varied diet, including covering personal dietary needs and halal produce. We provide three meals a day as well as snacks for all our residents as well as special treats alongside activities.
A range of healthy choices
We offer a varied healthy diet for all of our residents which includes three meals as a day as well as snacks. Our chef has come up with a menu which covers all dietary requirements as well as religious accommodations which can be made including Halal. We can also accommodate where needed for the individual’s taste, therefore our ingredients are brought in on the basis of adapting and changing.
The importance of a good diet
A good diet is not only essential for those who have medical issues but also for helping prevent future medical problems. As well as healthy food it is also important to incorporate food which our residents enjoy, and look forward to. This has great benefits for mental health but also encourages eating in general.
