welcome to the Bidfood Diner One of our 2023 trends is Retro Love, it offers a great opportunity to revitalise old school childhood favourites and relive retro eras! This guide showcases how you can use this exciting new trend in your care home… In care homes, it seems especially prevalent to look back and appreciate memories that brought your residents joy. Even if not everyone remembers the 50’s, there is something fun and retro about the era we can all get involved with. Nostalgia can evoke real joy when revisited for us all. It can be brought back by all senses, whether it is tasting a flavour from the past or hearing a favourite song from childhood, there is no better feeling. Through sweet treats, cocktails and retro flavours you can take your residents back down memory lane. The retro love trend also gives chefs a chance to have fun with their menu by elevating those well-loved classic recipes with a modern flare of creativity. Drawing inspiration from the 1950’s, we are serving you an Americana themed menu. Post war, the fifties was a chance for families to recover, celebrate and have brighter days. It was also the time that saw the emergence of the baby boomer generation and it brought a huge shift in the global musical landscape with a new sound… rock-and-roll. * CGA by NielsenIQ Both our chefs Wayne and Adam, were thrilled to innovate the typical fifties diner style menu to new levels… From a delicious Hound Dog to a Knickerbocker Glory, there is something for everyone to get excited about.
