Nutrition
At Spire Norwich Hospital we believe fresh food, prepared on site, is the best way to aid recovery. We aim to provide our patients with healthy nutritious food, presented in an attractive and appealing way.
Full of flavour and healthy too
We aim to make our food tasty as well as healthy by using a variety of different methods:
- healthier oils rather than saturated fats
- vegetables steamed to maintain their water soluble vitamins
- vegetables cooked 'al dente' to ensure optimum nutrition
- twice weekly offerings of oily fish on our specials menu, high in omega 3 and protein
Special diets
As a hospital we realise many of our patients may require special diets and we frequently accommodate patients with the following dietary needs:
- diabetic
- vegetarian
- vegan
- ovo-lacto vegetarians
- gluten free/coeliac
- halal
- lactose free
As part of our ongoing commitment to the care of our patients, one of our chef's has recently completed a Diploma in Diet and Nutrition and is working closely with the team to continually improve the nutritional value of the food we offer.
So, when you or a loved-one has a visit planned to Spire Norwich Hospital you can rest assured that the quality and taste of our food will be just as high as the standard of our healthcare services.
