Prepared meal solutions/
For over 20 years, our healthcare caterers, Cuisine Centre, have been improving patient wellbeing with delicious, nutritionally balanced prepared meals. Working with over 30 acute hospital partners, we proudly serve over 6 million meals to patients every year.
The team at Cuisine Centre have created a wide selection of flavour-packed meals ranges that are used in NHS Trusts and private hospitals nationwide, including the award-winning Steamplicity.
Healthcare catering made simple
As one of the UK’s leading healthcare caterers, Cuisine Centre provides patients with a wide variety of dishes, from familiar favourites to adventurous new flavours. From our three-minute miracles to our premium à la carte dishes, patients are truly spoilt for choice.
With a low capital outlay, our systems require less preparation, less storage and less space to deliver a mealtime service. As a result, catering teams can work more efficiently, which reduces labour costs and gives back precious time to busy staff. The flexible nature of our dining systems allows us to simplify mealtimes not only in healthcare facilities, but also in senior living communities, schools and workplaces.
Fresh steamed meals around the clock
There’s no denying that the Cuisine Centre’s award-winning Steamplicity range has revolutionised healthcare catering. As the first fresh steam-cooked food system in the UK Patient Dining market, Steamplicity meals lock in more nutrients than other traditional hospital catering methods, putting freshly cooked vegetables back on the menu. The system’s flexibility allows orders to be taken via tablets, ensuring patients who miss a meal due to treatment or lack of appetite can still enjoy hot, nutritious meals 24/7.
Alongside our steamed meals, Cuisine Centre offers a variety of chilled and frozen meal ranges designed to suit any operational model. Each dish is carefully crafted by our chefs and dietitians, adhering to the British Retail Consortium’s food safety standards.
Choosing a greener tomorrow
As part of Compass Group’s journey to Net Zero by 2030, Cuisine Centre’s meal ranges reflect a shared commitment to a greener future. From responsibly sourced ingredients to recyclable CPET packaging, we’re fully committed to reducing our carbon footprint. Our frozen, chilled and steamed meal solutions also significantly cut down on food waste and use less energy than other conventional cooking methods.
