Hybrid Offering

Quality catering solutions

Our collective purpose is to deliver exceptional quality catering solutions for our clients, placing your residents at the heart of our service through our hybrid combination of freshly prepared ingredients, convenient produce and pre-prepared meals.

White Oaks’ key focus is on development: we are raising the operational standards for the senior living sector and establishing a new reputation for prepared food. We’re injecting new life into this existing service through vibrant flavours, tailored meals and quality ingredients to ensure a healthy and balanced diet for everyone.

We work incredibly hard to bring you the best quality food for the best prices.

The DNA behind our menus

Our food development team manages the ongoing ingredient lists for our people at a unit level. This is managed according to seasonality, quality, inflation, price, and availability of product. Using our fully automated Source recipe system, we can achieve the highest quality and consistency of food. Each menu features approximately:

90% freshly prepared ingredients
7% dry, convenient, canned produce
3% frozen ingredients

This hybrid approach tailors our catering service to each of our clients. With a customised combination of freshly prepared ingredients, convenient produce and frozen, pre-prepared meals, we can ensure that your residents receive a balanced and healthy meal, no matter what.

Designed for you

Each of our menus is designed in close collaboration with clients and your residents’ dietary requirements. This means that we can guarantee your residents are engaged with the food they are consuming. Everyone in your client management team has the opportunity to contribute to our catering service, ensuring the service we provide is based on your preferences and dietary needs. It is absolutely tailored to any requirements you may have.
Our passport system allows our team to understand your needs and how best to meet them, adapting dishes for lowered sugar options where required for residents with diabetes, for example.
