Food at Red Oaks Care Home

Hello, my name is Ian, and I am the Senior Head Chef here at Red Oaks. Having had almost two decades managing catering operations within the care home environment, I am very pleased to be included in the team here. I am hugely passionate about delivering a nutritious, well-balanced and inviting meal time experience to those who are living in our care.

During my career, I have enjoyed various engaging roles, including Divisional Hospitality Manager, Regional Operations Manager and Head of Hospitality. My focus is to lead my team and work closely with the wider nursing and care teams to enable a whole-team approach to providing a dignified and person-centred dining experience, whilst also collaborating with the activities team to create fun-filled and exciting food-led events.

The catering team here work tirelessly in their endeavour to drive standards and create a memorable experience for all residents, and look forward to mentoring and leading them to every success.
