Good food brings comfort, and at Dalgety Bay, we take it seriously. Every meal is prepared with care by our in-house chefs, with plenty of choice, familiar favourites, and a few treats along the way. From fish and chips in the dining rooms on a Friday or a selection of delicious home baking always on offer in the cafe, we make sure there’s something for everyone, every day.
Our meals are cooked daily by our Head Chef and Second Chef, right here in the home. Menus run on a three-week seasonal cycle, shaped by resident feedback and individual tastes. Weekly highlights include a traditional Sunday roast and a much-loved Friday fish supper. Every dish comes with alternatives, and meals can be adapted for allergies, health needs, and personal preferences.
Residents can choose where they’d like to eat, whether in our café, shared dining rooms, their own bedroom, or outdoors when the weather’s good. We make it easy to feel at home, with the kind of food people recognise and enjoy.
The café also serves home baking, and visitors on tours are welcome to stop in for tea and a slice of cake. We hold a Memory Care Cafe every other Tuesday from 12-4pm where people living with dementia and their carers can socialise and find support in a relaxed environment.
Food isn’t just about set mealtimes. We keep snack options available throughout the day. That includes yogurt pots, fruit platters, biscuits, toast, and hot and cold drinks. Our evening tea service offers sandwiches with tea, juice, or even a glass of wine or whisky if residents fancy it. Hydration is part of every routine — water jugs, coolers, and juice are always easy to find.
Every resident has a personalised nutrition and hydration plan, and our chefs are trained to ITSE Level 6 to prepare texture-modified meals safely. We work closely with care staff to ensure that residents are not only enjoying their food but also getting what they need to stay well in a way that feels relaxed, respectful, and homely.
Yes! All of our residents can choose what they eat. Our chefs and kitchen team will always incorporate allergies, dietary needs and preferences into their seasonal menus. It is our top priority that our residents enjoy their meals the way they want and in the places where they feel most comfortable.
You are allowed to enjoy your meals wherever you wish! Whether that is in the comfort of your en-suite bedroom, in our communal dining room or our private gardens. We also have a celebration room, so you can continue to spend any special occasions with loved ones.
We have a fantastic team of in-house chefs and an overall kitchen team who work tirelessly to create delicious meals for our residents. They create the perfect blend of presentation and taste to ensure we exceed the expectations of our residents.
In our care home in Fife, we take great pride in providing a wide range of care services. We are committed to our belief that each resident should have access to high quality care while also having the opportunity to engage in their hobbies, pursue interests, and form new friendships.
