At Watermoor House, we recognise that good food is central to a happy, healthy life.
When you join Watermoor House, our chefs take the time to learn about your individual tastes and dietary requirements. As a result, every meal we serve is both nutritious and tailored to you. In addition, we use fresh, seasonal ingredients full of natural flavour, and each meal is prepared to a high standard.
Our Head Chef attends residents’ meetings to share menu updates and gather feedback, ensuring our offerings are continually refined to suit everyone’s preferences. Residents can enjoy a daily choice of freshly cooked, traditional dishes, with regular menu changes providing plenty of variety and interest.
