Dining

Every day, residents at Etive House Care Home can choose from a tantalising and diversified menu. We always offer a wide selection of delicious culinary options due to the talent and dedication of our in-house professional chef. When creating our breakfast, lunch and tea menus, our highly qualified kitchen team takes into account all food preferences and dietary requirements.

We understand the importance of a well-balanced meal for overall health and well-being. To ensure that residents look forward to every meal time, we modify our menus on a regular basis while preserving familiar favourites. The food served is suitable for all of our residents, with hot and cold options available, as well as soft and easy-to-eat meals.

Our residents actively share feedback to help shape our menus. Hearty Scottish favourites like stovies, steak pie, and mince and tatties are popular, alongside seasonal options. Homemade cakes and snack stations with fruit, biscuits, and water are always available. We also celebrate birthdays with a homemade cake, and families are welcome to join for a buffets or meal.
