Doddington retirement community awarded top Hygiene rating

Staff at a retirement service in Doddington are celebrating after its restaurant received the highest food hygiene rating, following a recent inspection.

Sanctuary Retirement Living’s Doddington Court, which offers apartments and communal facilities for over 60s and people with long-term care needs, passed with flying colours to receive a Food Hygiene Rating of five, following an inspection of its onsite Taste restaurant by the Food Standards Agency.

The service’s popular Taste restaurant is open to family, friends and members of the public for breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the year and regularly caters for resident events including fundraising for good causes.

Emma Hunt, Chef Manager, said; “We are all extremely proud of our achievement. Our Hospitality and Catering team take a lot of time to ensure we’re offering a menu that appeals to all our residents’ and visitors’ tastes and dietary requirements, despite the challenges presented to us by the pandemic over the last 18 months. The certificate means all the more as it’s testament to everyone’s hard work and commitment to keeping everyone safe and well-fed.”

Set between the quaint villages of Chatteris and Benwick, Doddington Court has a range of apartments and communal facilities for over 60s. Designed to offer comfort, independence and peace of mind, Doddington Court has everything needed to enjoy a happy, fulfilling retirement.

The Taste restaurant is fully open from 9am – 4pm and members of the public are welcome to visit for breakfast, lunch or takeaway, with homecooked roast dinners available on Sundays.
