Meet Laura...

Of all our team, Laura Fielding is one of the most important as we believe providing our residents with tasty and nutritious food is vital.

And the catering couldn’t be in better hands than those of our award-winning chef and Catering Manager, Laura.

She is passionate about good food and about giving the residents choice. On a typical day Laura will prepare, from scratch, lunch for 42 residents and around 20 staff.

Residents get a choice of three main courses and if they don’t like those, Laura will prepare something different - if you fancy fish and chips, then fish and chips you will have!

“Meals are a really important, social part of the day and the residents really look forward to them so we do everything we can to give them a good choice of tasty, nutritious and enjoyable food,” she says. “We take into account every dietary requirement and personal preference to tailor a menu for each individual so that food is another area where our residents feel cared for and valued.”

That dedication earned Laura the Chef of the Year Award at the Yorkshire and Humberside Great British Care Awards in 2020.

She takes every little detail into account – right down to individual residents preferring one vegetable against another and is passionate about food being made properly.

In how many nursing homes would the toasted teacake at teatime be made from scratch – flour, sugar, yeast, fruit and so on?

We love a celebration and Laura will knock-up a mouth-watering buffet (with homemade scones, quiches, pizza, doughnuts and cakes of course) or create a themed birthday cake, at the drop of a hat. She creates cakes for anything from a Royal Wedding to the FA Cup Final.

Laura splits her time between cooking at the nursing home and supporting the cooking staff at Saint Cecilia’s other homes in her role as Catering Manager for the whole group.
