CARE home residents tucked into a wide range of cheese and fine aged wines as part of a special social event.

Families, guests and returning respite residents joined residents at Wilton Place for the special wine and cheese day that was carefully curated by head chef Hayley Dibden and second chef Richard Amey.

The chefs also prepared a vibrant fruit platter as residents caught up with some old friends.

General manager Antoinette Roberts said: “Cheese and wine events are a big favourite here.

“It is such a classic combination; our residents had a fantastic time tasting all the different cheeses and wines on offer and we always love inviting our friends, neighbours and residents’ families in to join us. It has been a lot of fun.”

Andrew, a resident at Wilton Place care home, said: “It was a pleasure seeing old friends that have stayed with us at Wilton Place and it was nice to catch up. There was a nice variation of cheeses and the wine was blooming good.”
