The Dining Experience at Chartwell Pembroke Heritage in Pembroke 

At Chartwell Pembroke Heritage, dining is about choice. Our food service team begins with fresh ingredients, using local, seasonal fare whenever possible, crafting meals that are both good, and good for you. We take into account the preferences and palates of residents, offering a diversified menu. You may be enjoying cream of celery soup, satisfying shepherd’s pie, and sumptuous Black Forest cake one night, and tucking into delectable cannelloni on another night, where an Italian theme is on offer.

If the featured menu is not to your liking, check out our à la carte menu, with its crowd-pleasing resident-favourite dishes, including entrées, soups, salads, showcase sandwiches, fruit, and desserts, and you’re sure to satisfy your cravings.
