Catering For Dietary Requirements and Special Occasions

When creating menus, our award-winning Chef carefully considers all allergies, cultural requirements, and dietary needs, ensuring each meal is suitable for all. Whether residents request vegetarian, pescatarian, or vegan menus, we strive to ensure our residents’ tastes and needs are met. We go above and beyond to learn the likes and dislikes of our residents and do all that we can to meet their preferences and to ensure our residents live their lives entirely their way.

We also take pride in giving our residents the option to enjoy their birthday exactly how they wish to, with a special homemade meal and cake. Whether they choose to enjoy an authentic Italian-style pizza, a traditional ploughman’s or a past holiday favourite, we ensure that every birthday is an unforgettable one.

Combining Dining and Activities

At Ridgeway Rise, we believe that dining is not just about nourishing the body but also about fostering a sense of community and nostalgia. Our Baking Club is a perfect blend of activity and dining, where residents can relive fond memories of baking from their younger years. This club offers a unique opportunity for our residents to engage in a familiar and comforting activity, using techniques and ingredients they are accustomed to.

Residents are encouraged to share their favourite recipes and baking traditions, allowing them to take the lead in preparing delicious treats. Our chefs work closely with residents to ensure that every baking session is tailored to their preferences and abilities. The Weekly Baking Club is an integral part of our dining experience, combining social interaction, creativity, and the joy of sharing homemade treats with friends and family
