Choose a day, then highlight dishes for a special diet. Example menu.
The kitchen
Cooks from every corner of Nigeria
Chef Kunle and his team of nine cook everything fresh on site. Pepper soup is made the Calabar way on Thursdays and the Delta way on Saturdays, and the jollof debate is settled weekly by a vote.
Residents can eat in the dining hall, on the veranda or in their own home. Visitors are welcome at lunch for N6,500, example price, with a day's notice.

Questions
About dining
Can I cook for myself?
Yes. Cottages have kitchens and apartments have kitchenettes. Meals are still included if you change your mind.
Can families bring food?
Of course. Please label it with the date, and tell the nurses about anything for a resident on a special diet.
Is there food at night?
Tea, biscuits, fruit and pap are always available, and the night team can make something light.
Come for lunch
The best way to judge a village is by its food. Book a visit and eat with the residents.
