A tasty, nutritious and kosher meal for every breakfast, lunch and supper.

Rosetrees is supervised by the Kosher London Beth Din (KLBD). The care home uses fully kosher certified food products and suppliers.

We place traditional Jewish values at the heart of all we do at Jewish Care. That’s why we ensure that every breakfast, lunch and supper served in our care homes is tasty, nutritious and kosher (or kosher-style). All our services use kosher ingredients and recipes, and our staff are trained in preparing food in a kosher way. Please contact us to find out more about this.

Meals at Rosetrees

The team of skilled chefs plan and prepare a varied menu of meals each week. They meet with residents and relatives to ensure that they cater to every palette.

Mealtimes are social times, where residents enjoy tasty kosher meals together. Traditional foods help residents remember and mark key moments in the Jewish calendar; challah on Shabbat, doughnuts for Chanukah, honey cake for Rosh Hashanah and hamantaschen for Purim. These are all part of what makes Jewish life so important in our homes.

Some residents may have difficulty swallowing their food (dysphagia). Kun Mor and George Kiss can provide a wide variety of enjoyable and nutritious pureed kosher meals, in partnership with the Hospital Kosher Meals Service (HKMS).
