The Dining Experience at Chartwell Jackson Creek in Peterborough
At Chartwell Jackson Creek, we strive for a dining experience that will exceed your expectations, offering great food, excellent service, and good conversation, resulting in your satisfaction at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We recognize that our residents—free from making and serving their own meals—expect that residence meals should always be delicious and well-balanced, with a mix of the familiar and the new. They enjoy a varied and diverse feature menu—perhaps herb-roasted chicken thighs served with O’Brien potatoes and yellow beans for dinner, or shaved roast beef on multigrain bread with cream of broccoli soup for lunch—as well as a full à la carte menu, with a selection of crowd-pleasing entrées, soups, salads, sandwiches, and tempting desserts. Freshly prepared snacks are also available throughout the day.
Our residents and staff love our regular themed dinners and celebrations of holidays and special days, making our dining room even more lively. If you have a special dinner and wish to invite a group of family or friends, we offer catering services, as well as individual guest meals (fee-for service may apply).
Service is just as important to us as the quality of our meals at Chartwell Jackson Creek.
Besides wonderful food, one of the other prime reasons for our residence dining program’s success is the friendly, professional staff, many of whom have been with Chartwell Jackson Creek for several years. They love getting to know you and your preferences, such as how you take your coffee, or the fact that you may want a smaller portion. They are an integral part of our food services team at the residence. The team is dedicated to making your dining experience the best it can be, and regularly reach out to gain your feedback.
