Salads will be starting on Tuesday 7th May so soup will be removed from the menu for the summer; we still have jacket potatoes and omelettes as alternatives, and don’t forget we have Bacon Rolls for sale for £1 between 9am-11am. If you require us to make a birthday cake for you the kitchen will need a weeks’ notice.
Please chat with Deborah & Nikki if there is anything you are unable to eat and they will do their best to find an alternative for you. Please make sure you order the correct meal when you arrive as Deborah and Nikki will be unable to change this when they are serving lunch, also when you phone & order a lunch please can you specify what lunch you require if it is the one on the menu or the alternative to save any confusion. Remember lunch must be booked by 11.00am. We also have a nice range of homemade cakes, biscuits, plus sweets and chocolate treats. Please Note only Day Centre Drinks can be consumed here, we cannot have people bringing in their own drinks.

We have taken on board all the ideas you have put to us re trips out, I have attached a sheet with all the details and prices of entry to places and any extras you will need to add to this. Please note that if we are going to organise these sometimes the start time may be earlier than normal so you get longer at places, once you have looked please see myself or Wendy to let us know your interest.
