Meal times

Patient meal times

Breakfast: 8am–9am

Lunch: 12 midday–1pm

Dinner: 5pm–6pm

There are 7 drinks rounds per day.

If you have any particular dietary needs please tell ward staff as early as possible during your stay. There are a wide array of options including snacks, vegan/vegetarian, Halal, liquidised, pureed and lighter options such as sandwiches. Hot food is also available 24 hours from an all-day menu when needed.

Family or friends can not only order meals for you if you cannot, but also offer some extra assistance to their loved ones at mealtimes as part of our ‘making mealtimes matter at LGT’ campaign. Quite often a family member or friend being present while a patient has their meal can be very beneficial, so if you’d like to be there to offer that extra support please discuss this with the ward staff.
