At Lansdowne Lodge we are ever aware that tastes acquired in early childhood will determine a child’s pattern of eating in later life. Meal times are social occasions, they provide opportunities for children to develop self reliance in a relaxed social atmosphere.
We use good quality ingredients and food is prepared with the minimum of sugar and salt and whilst cooking we aim to preserve the vitamin and mineral content of food (i.e. steaming versus boiling), and minimise fatty methods of cooking, (i.e. grilling versus frying). We prepare all our meals on-site in our purpose-built, Health Board-approved kitchens. We have a full time chef who prepares meals daily using fresh ingredients which are delivered and sourced throughout the week.
We have a four week menu plan. Menu’s are adjusted throughout the year to avail of the different seasonal produce that is available. We also have on offer a Dairy Free Menu, Wheat Free Menu, Egg Free Menu and Vegetarian Menu should a child have these requirements, we will try to accommodate any child who has special dietary needs.
