Abstract
Compass Group UK & Ireland's senior living business, WhiteOaks, has been awarded a £1.6 million contract with Abbeyfield Wey Valley Society Ltd to provide residents' catering for the next five years.
As part of the deal, WhiteOaks will provide freshly cooked meals to the 78 residents based in three of Abbeyfield's homes, all of which are based within a two mile radius in Surrey.
The menus, designed by a team of dieticians, will feature monthly themed events with celebratory dishes, decorations and posters. One event is a Wimbledon celebration where menus feature traditional British summer favourites such as strawberries and cream, afternoon tea, Eton mess and Pimms and lemonade.
WhiteOaks will also introduce a Saturday breakfast club during which the team will serve all-morning brunch, with freshly-brewed coffee and the morning papers.
Steve Cenci, managing director of Compass Group UK & Ireland's healthcare business, said: "Abbeyfield's three Surrey care homes are very comfortable and homely and WhiteOaks' homemade meals will complement the setting perfectly. We look forward to the start of a strong partnership."
The contract goes live this month and follows the news of WhiteOaks' agreement with Staffordshire Housing Association in June.
