At Glennfield Care Home in Wisbech, the team has recently set up a lunch club, where each month, members venture into the community to have lunch in one of the local eateries.
Since setting up this club at the beginning of the year, it’s been a roaring success. Lunch club members look forward to their monthly outings and sampling the food served in some of their local restaurants. Not only do these trips make for a welcome change of mealtime scenery, but also help to establish connections with people living in the local community.
The month of March marked the group's third trip and this time, it was to local food hotspot, Bygones. Just a short 10 minute drive from the home, Bygones serves a variety of tasty traditional meals, with lots of choices for residents to choose from. The team is also very welcoming and understanding of residents’ needs and do all they can to ensure their lunch is comfortable and enjoyable.
With the weather outside still quite chilly, residents opted for some hearty meals including a traditional roast and lasagne. The portion sizes at Bygones are very substantial, so residents left feeling full and fulfilled.
Bygones got a big thumbs-up from the lunch club and all members agreed they would like to return.
It’s safe to say the lunch club is a huge success and residents look forward to visiting more local restaurants throughout the year!
