Vegetarians - A healthy vegetarian diet has grown in popularity. We can provide menus containing all the ingredients and vitamins needed for a balanced diet.
Gluten free - Gluten is a protein found in wheat/oats. It flattens the surface (Mucosa) and so reduces the area available for the absorption of all other nutrients, provided by the food we eat, which causes Coeliac Disease.

Sometimes, this diet therapy is nothing more than a good, nutritious diet balanced in carbohydrates, proteins and fats, or one that requires frequent minimeals. Most special diets can be just as tasty and easy to follow as traditional eating plans.
