At Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals we take food seriously. We believe our patients deserve good, nutritious food to make their stay pleasant and to aid their recovery.
What makes us different
All our meals are made daily on the premises using fresh ingredients, not ready meals. We have a fully equipped kitchen and highly skilled staff.
Nutrition and quality are our key considerations, not driving down costs. Our catering team puts sustainability first, meaning we use seasonal, organic and local produce whenever possible. After hard work in this area, 30 per cent of our food is now locally or organically sourced.
