Fine Dining at Wyndham House

On Friday 1 November the Mayor had the pleasure of attending the re-launch of the Fine Dining experience at Wyndham House Care Home in Minehead which offers the experience of an expertly cooked and presented three course menu at a reasonable price specifically for those who have a loved one or friend who suffers from dementia or who is elderly or vulnerable in some way.  It provides a supportive and caring environment where small groups enjoy a good meal in pleasant surroundings without the pressures which may come from taking a loved one to a crowded restaurant.  The Mayor said "I and my companion enjoyed an excellent meal, served by friendly and helpful waitresses in a beautifully presented room.  The whole evening was a real treat and one which I would wholeheartedly recommend to others.  I feel we are extremely fortunate to have such a service on offer here in Minehead "
