Head Chef

View Bio
I have worked here since 2017 and I am qualified in advanced food safety. I always helped out in the kitchen but took over as chef in April 2024. I love cooking and take pride in preparation, often focussing on a particular cuisine, new dishes and also cooking a wide variety of dishes - all kinds of food. Also my family always enjoys my dishes.
Caring, understanding and friendly staff. My dad was looked after with respect and kindness. The management team and nursing staff were excellent. It was a difficult time and the staff were always available.

Daughter of Resident

From the very first time Mum set foot in the care home, they could not do enough for her. The manager and every one of her staff were amazing. The whole place had a friendly welcoming vibe to it. The care Mum got was the best we could wish for. Had a lovely room and she was very happy there and was treated with utmost respect and dignity. I can’t thank everyone enough for everything they did for not only her but also every visitor.
