Mealtimes are a highlight of the day. With a choice of beautifully designed dining spaces, each meal feels special. Our talented chefs create varied, seasonal menus using locally sourced ingredients, with dishes tailored to individual tastes, preferences and dietary needs.

Later, there’s tea and freshly baked scones in the garden room, a delicious lunch from the daily menu, and a lighter evening option. To end the day, residents can unwind in our welcoming on-site bar and enjoy a nightcap with friends.
