When you come and join us as a guest at Lee Abbey, you will gather together daily for 3 meals in the dining room. In addition, morning and afternoon tea and coffee are provided.
The meals are lovingly prepared and served for you by members of community.
Meals
The menu is simple but wholesome, with ‘family style’ meals cooked and served by the Community. The main meal is the same for everyone with vegetarian preferences and Special Diets catered for. Please let us know when booking if you have any special dietary requirements.
There will be a cold breakfast served, a sit down lunch (packed lunch of sandwiches on Wednesday) provided and a cooked main meal with dessert in the evening.
Timings
Occasionally meal times vary, but usually we serve meals at:
- Breakfast: 8.15 – 9.00 am
- Lunch: 1.00 pm
- Dinner: 6.30 pm
Tea and coffee is served mid-morning (11.30am) and mid-afternoon (4pm). If you’d like to make yourself a hot drink at any other time, please use the vending room supplied on each floor.
Special Diets
Provision will be made for limited Special Diets. We can cater for all Common Diets (Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free) and any Allergies, Intolerances, Medical and Other Essential Diets wherever possible.
Please tell us your needs when you book, so that we can plan accordingly. To cater for you the best we can we will need to be informed in advance and given as many details as possible (e.g. severity…). We may contact you to clarify your Special Diet.
If your diet changes before your arrival, please contact us as soon as possible. On arrival you will be given a name badge and on the back of this will be your Special Diet number or letters (e.g. GF for Gluten Free, VG for Vegan).
