Healthcare @ Thomas Ridley

Hospitals and Care Homes

We understand the challenges facing healthcare service providers and aim to deliver solutions to meet those needs.

With patients and residents always at the forefront of our minds, we know how important it is to provide the right food to promote health, well-being and quality of life; all from a provider that you can count on. Our dedicated team servicing the education sector has a wealth of experience and understands the needs of caterers throughout nurseries, schools, colleges and universities.

Not only do we provide a fast and efficient service, but we also help schools and canteens with resources, trends, cost control and menu planning, to positively influence healthy choices that are within budget and offer great value for money.
