Primarily this business is a residential care home specialising in caring for the elderly with dementia. What they have created is a bistro, function room and hair salon which are open to the public. This enables those visiting elderly residents to have somewhere pleasant to go. Also, being open to the general public makes the residents feel part of the community rather than being secluded from it.
So, what is the food like? Fairly decent square meals at a reasonable price. It doesn't set any standards but they do what they do well enough. Like most places nowadays, the majority of the menu is made possible by use of the freezer, the microwave and the deep fat fryer. They do do a cooked breakfast before 11am and Sunday lunch is only served until 2pm.
I had the meat lasagna which is served with side salad and garlic bread. I also had a side order of chips. My friend had scampi chips and peas. We both had a glass of wine and the total bill only came to £16. The portion size was generous enough and the lasagna was particularly tasty.
Customer service is not exactly slick, but friendly and helpful. They have decent wifi (ask for current password) and all major cards are accepted.
I plan to try the Sunday lunch sometime, I just need to get there early enough!! read more
