"We all got to try out some lovely new menu choices, including beef bolognese with pasta, coronation chicken, katsu curry, salmon and spinach crumble, ham leek and cheddar tart, pasta carbonara, yellow rice, vegetable rice, ice cream and chocolate éclairs and more," said Cheryl.

"We got a lot of very good feedback from both staff and residents and everyone said they enjoyed it.
