Common questions in Lower Burgate

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.

What about residents who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
