  • Teaming up with Pride was one of the best decisions we ever made. I can't recommend Pride enough.

  • Another benefit apart from well-fed and happy children, is the increase in free school meals...for which the school will receive additional funding.

Pride Catering for Healthcare

We understand the importance of good, nutritious, tempting and tasty food for those in residential homes. Meals punctuate the day and are anticipated with pleasure and savoured when served. All such homes have special requirements and at Pride we recognise and support the nutritional needs of our clients, catering for special diets alongside the regular menus.

Traditional simplicity with meals can be contrasted with more sophisticated menus to cater for the personal tastes of the individuals in your care. Our fresh ingredients policy is underpinned by friendly personal and courteous service. We currently cater for many clients throughout the South in residential care homes, nursing homes, sheltered housing and day centres in both the independent and charity sectors. We regularly bench mark our operations to ensure best practice and share the results with our clients.

Case Study

Providing a quality service for Residential Homes

When Mission Care (registered charity 284967) based in South East London reviewed their catering arrangements at their 6 homes in early 2010, they were looking for a partner who would provide a full catering service with excellent kitchen management. The key requirement was to present a choice of freshly prepared, quality and nutritious meals for the residents.

As well as liking Pride's commitment to freshly prepared 'home-style' cuisine, Mission Care also liked Pride's commitment to Food Provenance. We source our food locally using regional suppliers, for example our Pork and Beef is from Hampshire and our free-range eggs and fruit are from Kent. To this end our kitchens at Mission Care were accredited with the Assured Food Standards Red Tractor status for using superior and safe meat.

But don't just take our word for it, when Mission Care did their 2010 Annual Resident and Relative Survey, the results spoke for themselves: 75% of residents felt that the quality of the meals were either good or very good, a vast improvement from 53% in 2009. For 2011/12 we are hoping to build on that figure again. Happy catering staff help bring the friendly family atmosphere that is apparent at all the Mission Care homes. Staff turnover has reduced since Pride took over the catering and the catering teams like to fully participate in any fund raising events that are held in the homes.

Joy Corbert (Mission Care Elmwood Group Activity Facilitator) commented on the 2011 Summer Garden Party: "The catering team worked extremely hard to make sure the day ran smoothly, seriously what would I do without you and all of your staff?"

Mission Care is a significant client of Pride Catering's and they are amongst a growing portfolio of Pride's Healthcare organisations located throughout London and the South- East. We are delighted to work in partnership with them.
