With festival season officially under way, a care home in Dorset is welcoming their local community for a fun-filled afternoon of food and celebration. Care UK’s The Potteries in Broadstone from 1.30pm–3pm, residents will be taking on roles as hosts, waiters and bartenders to serve a three-course menu inspired by their favourite recipes and cultural dishes using fresh produce from the garden. Zita Turner, Home Manager at The Potteries, said: “We’re so excited to dish out our very own three-course meal during what promises to be a memorable afternoon for everyone who comes along. “At The Potteries, we’re home to residents and team members from a wonderfully diverse range of cultures. This event is a chance to celebrate them through food, showcasing flavours from around the world. Many are favourites of ours, so we can’t wait for guests to try. “We look forward to welcoming the Poole community for what promises to be a fantastic day of food, culture and connection.” The events are part of the ‘A Taste of Home’ initiative, which will see Care UK homes across the country host foodie-themed celebrations and showcase what life in a care home is really like. Each festival will offer sustainable, community-focused activities while championing the diversity and creativity within the homes, from residents’ favourite recipes to seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients.
