\n

We\u2019re delighted to share that our healthcare catering team has been shortlisted for Healthcare Caterer of the Year at the 2025<\/a> Foodservice Cateys, hosted by The Caterer<\/em>. This prestigious award recognises excellence across the UK\u2019s contract catering sector. It celebrates teams that deliver outstanding service, innovation and impact in healthcare environments.<\/p>\n

The nomination highlights our work at West London NHS Trust. <\/a>OCS colleagues deliver catering services that go far beyond the plate. We support patient recovery, promote well-being and enhance the overall care experience.<\/p>\n

\n

A Catering Service Designed for Recovery and Well-being<\/h4>\n

We have built our healthcare catering offer around the belief that food plays a vital role in healing. Delivered through our in-house brand, Angel Hill<\/strong>, our teams provide nutritious, comforting meals that meet a wide range of dietary needs, from texture-modified diets to culturally appropriate options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We work closely with clinical teams to ensure every meal supports the physical and mental health of patients. We train our colleagues to understand the therapeutic value of food. They take pride in delivering meals that are not only nourishing but also dignified and enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

A Meaningful Partnership with West London NHS Trust<\/h4>\n

Our partnership with West London NHS Trust<\/strong> spans multiple sites across Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow, where the Trust delivers vital mental and physical health services to local communities.<\/p>\n

As the Trust\u2019s chosen catering provider, we\u2019ve introduced a fresh, farm-to-fork approach that aligns with their mission of building \u201chope and well-being together.\u201d One of the most impactful initiatives to emerge from this partnership is the Grow Gardens project<\/a>, an innovative programme that brings community gardens to hospital sites.<\/p>\n

Working closely with Trust stakeholders, we identified accessible spaces to install gardens that now yield fresh herbs and vegetables. We use these ingredients in patient meals, improving nutritional quality while supporting the Trust\u2019s sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

The gardens also serve as therapeutic spaces. Patients regularly visit and help maintain them, supported by staff and volunteers. This hands-on involvement encourages social connection, occupational therapy and a sense of purpose, key elements in mental health recovery.<\/div>\n

Recognition of a Team That Cares<\/h4>\n

Being shortlisted for a Foodservice Catey is a significant honour. Judged by senior professionals from across the hospitality sector, the awards celebrate the very best in contract catering.<\/p>\n

This nomination is a reflection of the passion, professionalism and care our colleagues bring to their work every day. From menu development to meal delivery, from garden planting to patient engagement\u2014our teams go above and beyond to make a positive difference.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re incredibly proud of this recognition, and even prouder of the people behind it.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
