Catering for their special needs

Food and nutrition

The catering team at Dame Hannah Rogers Trust plays a vital role in creating a homely and friendly atmosphere. Our talented cooks create delicious, specially-prepared meals for those young people able to eat, ensuring that all their dietary and medical needs are met. Some young people are also gastrostomy fed.

The catering and kitchen staff are vastly experienced in providing for young people with a wide variety of dietary needs and complex medical conditions. They ensure all food is delicious and that meal times are a happy occasion to which all the young people look forward.

Every aspect of food preparation is important to the catering team. They may be preparing packed lunches for a school trip, a late night drink, a birthday party celebration, a barbecue or even a gala dinner for the Trust`s supporters - it is all prepared with the same love and care.

Visitors enjoy being around at meal times and appreciate the same menu as young people. Families, visitors, staff and inspectors always comment how much they enjoy the excellent food!

The catering staff are an integral part of the team; as shrills of delight and laughter heard from the dining room during meal times will confirm!
