Inpatient Food & Drink
NHS Forth Valley, along with our partners Serco, aim to provide food that is nutritionally suitable for all patients.
Our menus are coded to show suitability for the following needs (as per the NHS Scotland Food in Hospitals Standards):
- Energy Dense (ED)
- Healthy Eating (HE)
- Vegetarian (V)
- Soft options (S)
The chefs and catering staff are committed to providing you with a quality service. The majority of the food within our menu is prepared and cooked on the premises. Where possible, fresh ingredients are used from quality approved suppliers.
On admission to a ward, patients should let nursing staff know of any special dietary needs. The Ward Housekeepers or relevant staff will then ask patients for their choice of meal from the menus.
We also have a bespoke children’s ward menu & vegan menu in an ‘a la carte’ format.
High Energy, High Protein Meal Choices
Those requiring additional energy and protein while in hospital can be offered milk or milky drinks. Regular snacks are available between meals via the ward house keepers. Extras can be brought in by visitors. Please ensure items are sealed and dated if required to be kept in the fridge.
