Brakes is Taking Care of Christmas

Brakes, the UK’s leading foodservice wholesaler, has announced a package of activity to support care home caterers to deliver a Christmas to remember.

The company has developed a section on its award-winning website to include a range of downloadable recipe cards and menu planners, delivering inspiration for care home caterers looking for innovative Christmas recipes. It has also added themed quizzes that can be downloaded to provide residents with some festive fun.

As part of the campaign, Brakes’ development chef, Olli Smith, has developed a new video that shows care caterers how to adapt the traditional Christmas dinner into an IDDSI Level 4 meal.

Paul Nieduszynski, Chief Executive Officer for Sysco GB, said: “Christmas is a really important time for care home residents and making sure that Christmas food meets their needs and expectations is crucial for a successful festive season.

“It’s vital that, even when a person can no longer eat a meal with the regular texture, caterers have the knowledge and confidence to adapt a meal so that all residents can enjoy the Christmas meal together. Our Christmas package will help care homes to not only create great dishes, but also provide some fun while they eat it!”
