Summer at Wade: Good Food, Great Company and Glorious Gardens

A Feast for the Senses

Summer at Wade is a time for flavour, friendship and fresh air. Our kitchen team has been serving vibrant seasonal meals – think freshly cooked fish with garden-grown herbs, colourful summer salads, and sunshine-bright puddings. These aren’t just meals; they’re summer stories on a plate. Members gather around long tables, sharing laughter and enjoying food that’s as nourishing as it is delightful.

Fun, Friendship and Entertainment

This summer, Wade has been alive with music, art, and warm conversation. From sing-alongs and storytelling to painting under the trees, our calendar has been full of joyful moments. As one member said, “The sun always shines at Wade!” Whether you’re tapping your toes or picking up a paintbrush, there’s always something uplifting to join in with.

Make the Most of the Garden

Our gardens are in full bloom – a peaceful haven of roses, lavender and sunshine. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a cuppa, chat with friends or simply relax and listen to the birds. There’s no rush here – just gentle days in a beautiful setting.
