- Firm, level ground close to the home
As a London location, Barkingside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Food your guests will love

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Plan it with your catering manager
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Service fits around the home’s routines.
