Inedible and a poor standard of food

My father has been a resident at Bridgeside Lodge Care Home in North London since January 2026. Since then, they have engaged Appetito to provide the food for my father, who is a pescatarian. I can simply say that the food is unedible. He frequently cannot eat the food because I could only describe it as worse than something I would eat on a plane. In fact, I wouldn't even eat it on a plane.

I have complained to the care staff many times, and all I can see is that Appetito only wish to create economies of scale rather than qualities of product. My father is malnourished, and this is a great concern for me, but it seems that Appetito's food does not provide the nutritional standards required. I am absolutely appalled by their end product.

Delicious Food with a Friendly Service

I’ve recently been fortunate in sampling some of Apetito’s food. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious! The cinnamon buns are a favourite of mine and I would highly recommend them. The Apetito staff are also lovely and helpful.

Making hospital meals enjoyable

I recently spent time in hospital recovering from a surgery that I had. The apetito meals that I ate during this time were great. I was sceptical to eat hospital food but they tasted great and there were plenty of options to choose from. I was especially impressed with the steak pie I had one night. Congrats apetito on making hospitals meals enjoyable.

Dementia dining experience

Andrew & Freddie delivered a dementia dinning experience today at Bowbrook care home. Our staff found this very informative and they took a lot of important lessons from the training. Andrew & Freddie were incredibly professional, it is always a pleasure when Andrew visits our service.

Robbery

Food is still extremely expensive despite my complaint last month. I expected action would have been taken to help reduce the prices of food to make it more affordable. In addition, food quality is extremely poor for the price they expect you to pay! Even if the food was good, the food is nearly impossible to afford for school children.

Apetito has been introduced into my Mum carehome recently, it is absolutely awful compared to the lovely freshly prepared meals before.
Apetito meals are bland ,unappetising to the eye and taste which should be important to elderly people who value meal times as a highlight of their day. The soft food is even worse looks like a pile of mush....

Perfect food made by perfect people

As a resident of Trowbridge I am fortunate to be invited to a bi monthly roast dinner. Today that dinner was a Christmas feast which was provided by volunteers from in and out of the company. As a single senior it’s so heartwarming to spend a few hours with others in the community and many thanks to all involved. Apetito are a family orientated company who provide excellent meals that are not only easy to store as well as warm, I have to say each and every meal is both delicious as well as perfectly portioned.

Food prices

Food is way too expensive. Paying £3.50 for a really small meal is not worth it and very expensive. In addition, the food quality is relatively poor and receive super small portions. I believe these food prices should be about £2.50 and items should be seperated. I will not be buying Apetito and will be sticking to cold food from now on.
