The recipe for good health

A balanced diet is the key to healthy living and an essential building block to a successful recovery. With this in mind, our specially selected menus of nourishing, home-cooked dishes form a fundamental part of your wellbeing journey. You will also have access to guidance and dietary tips from our dedicated nutritionist aimed at accelerating the healing process and maintaining essential nutrient levels when you return home.

Chef – Claire

Food prepared to exacting standards, and of the highest quality, is essential to your recovery; therefore, we are delighted to have secured the services of our head chef Claire Smailes.

In carefully preparing our daily menus, Claire ─ ably assisted by assistant chefs Kelly Doyle and Sarah Kirwin and a talented team of kitchen staff ─ makes a fundamental contribution to the convalescence process, and is vital to everything we do here at The Clavadel.

Here is an example of our weekly menu.

  • Stacey

    "My heartfelt thanks for enabling me to get through the three months here at The Clavadel.  You have all looked after me so well, that I leave you (with great reluctance) feeling better, fatter and fitter.

    Also helping has been meeting many other patients – the dining room held many an interesting discussion.  You are all amazing."

  • C. Bradish-Ellames

    "Everywhere was spotless, the food outstanding – tasty, piping hot, innovative and perfect portion sizes.  I was further impressed when I came to settle the bill that no extras whatsoever had been added."

  • Denise Moll

    "It was not only a time of exactly ‘what the doctor ordered’, but also one of total spoiling, love and care, surrounded by a staff who have very high standards of care.

    The food was utterly delicious and so well cooked. Coming down to drinks and lunch all added to the recovery, and mixing with others who had had surgery was helpful."
