As a care home food supplier serving Nottinghamshire, we work with operators across one of the East Midlands' most varied care landscapes — from the dense urban centre of Nottingham to former mining towns like Mansfield and Worksop, and the rural villages of Sherwood Forest and the north. This page sets out what we offer Nottinghamshire care homes specifically: reliable daily delivery, audited national-grade credentials, and a team that understands the geography.

The Nottinghamshire Care Sector
Nottinghamshire has over 290 care homes registered with the Care Quality Commission, serving a county population of around 1.15 million. The care sector spans dense urban demand around Nottingham, significant care provision in former mining communities like Mansfield and Worksop where ageing populations place real pressure on home capacity, and a smaller network of rural homes serving Sherwood and the north.
We work alongside the full range of Nottinghamshire care operators:
- Independent residential homes across market towns like Newark, Southwell and Retford
- Larger nursing groups operating across Nottingham, West Bridgford and the city's growing suburbs
- Dementia care specialists across Mansfield, Ashfield and the north
- Homes serving ageing populations in former mining communities
- Rural homes across Sherwood and the rural north of the county
- NHS Trusts under our framework and DPS routes
From a single-site 40-bed home in Southwell to a multi-site group with operations across Nottingham and Mansfield, our service scales to fit — and applies the same standards to every account.
