Catering Services

Catering Services are part of the Estates and Facilities Division and have offices in both Hospitals.

Catering Services provide an average of 3,000 patient meals every day, and 750 staff and visitor meals. All meals are freshly cooked and produced within an atmosphere where high standards of hygiene are demanded and are consistently practised.

The Trust is committed to Food Vision and to purchasing local produce wherever this is practical and cost effective.

Catering Service to Patients

As a patient you are served three meals a day. Patients choose their meal from individual menu cards the evening before.

Each menu offers nutritional and tasty food suitable for a range of special and textured diets and portion sizes. Any patients with social or cultural needs will be offered a separate menu.

If you have a special dietary requirement you should let the nursing staff know and they will notify catering services and may also refer you to the dieticians department.

A selection of drinks are served with each meal. Drinks are also served to you on the wards first thing in the morning, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and late evening.
