Brampton view care home hosts monthly Pudding Club
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Brampton View Care Home in Northampton have hosted another of their fabulous monthly Pudding Clubs. The idea behind the club is for everyone to come along for a cup of tea and a catch up while trying out different types of puddings – what a truly excellent idea!
Residents and staff came up with the idea to launch the Pudding Club, each month they get together to talk about their favourite puddings, past and present, and decide what they are going to serve that month. The home’s hospitality team helps the residents to prepare the puddings, both old-fashioned and new recipes, so everyone gets to try a range of different puds. Family members, friends and members of the community are all invited to attend and bring puddings to share too, if they wish.
In August the Pudding Club met again and Brampton View were delighted to taste test a treacle sponge. Chef Marta demonstrated how to make the treacle sponge which is a family recipe from one of our members of staff.
Residents watched as Chef Marta mixed together all the ingredients for the cake and then decorated with extra treacle and fresh fruit!
General Manager, Mo Masedi, comments: “The Pudding Club is proving to be a huge success, our residents absolutely love it. We are so lucky to have our hospitality team on board with this wonderful activity and have them involved in the process. The club is going from strength to strength, we’re very much looking forward to the next session in September – everyone is welcome to join us, please check out our Facebook page for details.”
