Mealtimes

• Breakfast - 7.30am

We have a 'protected mealtime' policy between 12 noon-2pm so you can eat without being interrupted.

Hot drinks are always available from the tea trolley, in the corridor opposite the kitchen. This is free for patients, but we ask visitors to make a small donation. Our catering assistant will also do a tea round in the morning and in the afternoon.
