Our in-house chefs cook every meal here at Struan Lodge, from a classic cooked breakfast to warming soups, sandwiches, and hot meals at lunch and tea. The menu runs on a seasonal cycle, with familiar favourites always on rotation. Residents can choose from a classic Scottish menu each day, with alternative options available to suit different tastes, diets, or appetites.
Meals are served in our dining room and lounge, though residents are welcome to eat in their own rooms if they prefer. Soft and easy-to-eat meals are available, and everything is tailored with care. We’re introducing regular food group meetings and feedback forms, so residents can shape the menu in a way that works for them.
There’s always something available between meals, whether that’s fresh fruit, a slice of home baking, or a cup of tea from the trolley in the afternoon. Juice, water, and light snacks are always on hand. And if a resident fancies a glass of wine with dinner, we’re happy to serve that too.
Food is also part of how we celebrate. Our chef bakes birthday cakes for residents, and the activities team often gets involved too, with soup-making sessions, baking clubs, and seasonal favourites like gingerbread houses. Whether it’s a meal, a snack, or a celebration, food here is made to be shared and enjoyed.
Our commitment to our residents’ comfort, convenience, and unique needs is evident in the careful design of our care home, which incorporates a variety of facilities and services.
Our excellent in-house chef and kitchen staff work tirelessly to provide nutritious, high-quality meals to our residents. Only the finest and locally sourced products are used in our always changing, seasonal menu. We encourage our residents to share their favourite cuisines and meals with us so we can accommodate them in our menu.
Residents at Struan Lodge Care Home have the freedom to eat their meals wherever they like. Everyone has the option of eating in the communal dining areas or in the solitude of their own rooms during mealtimes. They can also, if the weather permits, enjoy their meal outside.
Residents can select from a menu and ask for meal alternatives in some cases. Personal preferences, cultural requirements and dietary limitations are all recognised and respected by our kitchen team.
Our care home in Edinburgh is proud to provide a range of quality care services. We firmly believe that each resident should be able to receive excellent care and have the opportunity to indulge in their hobbies, pursue their interests, and form new connections.
