Dining

At St Margarets Care Home in Edinburgh, we believe dining should be a highlight of every day. Our approach is all about creating a welcoming, social setting where meals are made to be enjoyed, not just served. Whether you’re joining friends for a Sunday roast or enjoying tea and cake in the garden, each meal is thoughtfully prepared and tailored to residents’ tastes and needs. Our chefs use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, so traditional Scottish favourites and seasonal specials are always on the menu.

From special celebrations to simple pleasures, food always brings people together at St Margarets. Residents are encouraged to help shape the menu, choose where and when they eat and invite friends or family to share in the experience.

High-Quality, Flexible Meals

Our talented kitchen team prepares a diverse selection of dishes each day, catering to all tastes and dietary requirements. There are comfortable dining rooms on every floor, so residents have the option to enjoy company while they dine, but meals can also be served in the privacy of their room if they wish. We take pride in making sure every plate looks appealing and every meal meets individual nutrition and hydration needs.

Our menus change regularly to keep things fresh and interesting, with resident feedback playing an important role in planning new options. If you have a favourite meal or a particular craving, our flexible snack options mean you’re never limited to set choices. Our goal is always to provide food that’s both nourishing and enjoyable, helping everyone feel their best each day.
