We do not. There are no cooking facilities for residents’ use and we do not allow the use of any personal cooking items in the room. However, residents can consume food - including take away or home delivery meals - either in their rooms, the communal dining room (excluding the times when breakfast or dinner is served), or in the private garden.

Will you cater for customers with food intolerances or allergies?

Unfortunately, we cannot cater specifically for residents or guests with food intolerances or allergies. We do offer gluten free and vegetarian options during breakfast & dinner services, however our kitchen stores and handles food with allergens and, although every care is take to prevent cross-contamination, nothing can ever be 100% certain.
