Our chefs create delicious, freshly prepared meals using quality ingredients and seasonal produce wherever possible. From traditional favourites to new dishes, our menus are designed to offer variety, flavour and choice throughout the day.

We understand that everyone has different tastes, routines and dietary requirements, which is why we take the time to get to know each resident’s preferences. Residents are encouraged to share feedback on menus and suggest dishes they would like to see featured, helping us shape our dining offering around the people who live here.

We are also proud to maintain a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating, reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of food safety, cleanliness and kitchen management.

Our dining spaces have been thoughtfully designed to make mealtimes comfortable, enjoyable and sociable.Many residents enjoy coming together to share meals, friendly conversation and be part of the vibrant atmosphere within the home. Equally, we understand that some residents may prefer a quieter dining experience, and we are always happy to accommodate individual preferences.

Alongside the main dining spaces, Derwent also boasts two bespoke eateries- The Apple Tree Café and The Orangery Bar – which have each been designed to mirror similar venues in the local community. With specialist décor and industry-standard hospitality equipment, these unique spaces offers residents familiar destinations to enjoy refreshments, socialise and spend time with loved ones – all within the comfort and safety of their home.
