Buon Apetito at Tanglewood!
A new range of healthy, tasty and nutritious food is on the menu at Tanglewood Care Homes across Lincolnshire.
The award-winning care group has teamed up with apetito, the leading food producer for the health and social care sector, and is rolling out the new menus across its homes in Boston, Spalding, Alford, Horncastle and Coningsby.
apetito is a Wiltshire-based catering company which supplies meals to hospitals, care homes and community meal services across the UK and in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Canada.
The company uses only high-quality ingredients in its meals, which are designed by a team of dietitians, nutritionists and chefs, prepared in its Wiltshire kitchens, then frozen within one hour to lock in nutrition, freshness and flavour.
“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with apetito to provide nutritious and delicious meals for our residents,” said Tracy Ann Shelbourn, founder and Director of Tanglewood Care Homes.
“We strive to provide the best possible experience for our residents and apetito’s philosophy and high standards certainly enable us to do that when it comes to providing high-quality meals.”
apetito Account Manager Dean Miller added: “We’re very proud to be working with Tanglewood. Our ethos is to provide an excellent dining experience, and when I first met Tracy I knew we were on the same page right from the start.
“We do work hard to make sure our food is as good as it can be, but it’s not just about the meals – we focus on the whole dining experience for residents and make sure there’s clean linen and flowers on the table, the food is served on good china, and the atmosphere we create is second to none.”
apetito held a taster session at Toray Pines care home in Coningsby recently where residents could choose from a wide range of meals.
One resident, Nancy, commented: “I’ve lived here for three years and the food is always excellent. I really enjoy it. Today I’ve had cottage pie but we always get a choice so I’ve got no complaints!”
Another resident, Barbara, said: “The food here is beautiful and it tastes lovely. Today I’ve had a bit of everything and I’ve enjoyed it. I feel much better now that I’ve had my lunch!”
