Care home celebrates British Food Fortnight

RMBI care home Cadogan Court, Exeter, has celebrated British Food Fortnight with an array of foodie events including a menu of local produce from the West Country, a Macmillan’s Coffee Morning and afternoon tea.

The fortnight lasted from 19 September to 4 October in which RMBI adopted a special menu of local produce from the West Country including a full English breakfast with local sausages and eggs, pork for lunch and an afternoon cream tea.

Angela Webb, Activities Coordinator at Cadogan Court in Exeter, said: “Food is the perfect way to bring people together and British Food Fortnight is especially important because it promotes the benefits of buying and eating locally made produce. Staff and residents at Cadogan Court have had a wonderful time celebrating different local foods and sharing the occasion with the local community.”

Staff also held a Macmillan’s Coffee Morning and a reminiscence afternoon, sharing food recipes and a sensory smell test of herbs and smells connected with cooking.
