Dining at Gwen Walford House is very much a tailor-made experience. Our residents are given the freedom to choose how, where, and when they would like to eat. This ensures that mealtimes are as pleasurable as possible, even when medical conditions have to be taken into consideration.

If our residents choose to remain in their own room, join friends and family in the dining room or even eat ‘on the move’, then it can be catered for.

Whatever the individual wants and needs, staff make sure that they get a tasty and nutritious meal. Even where smaller portions are necessary, they’re fortified to ensure no goodness is lost – a hugely important detail.
