Dining and Hospitality at Oakland Care
Our in-house chefs and catering teams ensure all meals and snacks are freshly prepared, healthy and nutritious.
Using seasonal and nutritious produce, residents can choose from our daily varied menu. We cater for most dietary requirements and serve food wherever residents feel most comfortable, whether that be in our restaurant style dining rooms or in the comfort of their own private bedrooms. Healthy and freshly prepared snacks are available throughout the day in our bistro areas and hydration stations.
Dining and nutrition at Oakland Care is overseen by our award-winning Executive Chef, Giles Conroy. He works closely with the hospitality and catering teams in each Oakland Care Home to make sure our exceptional standards of cuisine and service are constantly maintained.
