Executive Chef, Desmond Morgan says temperature checks are recorded daily and measures include colour-coded chopping boards and live cooking stations for breakfast with screens and cooked to order meals, “All the halfway houses also have their own kitchens and the meal is prepared to order.” A wide range of options are on offer to specific diary requirements like Halaal, vegan or vegetarian.
