When I went for the hospital visit prior to having Rhiannon, the midwife showing us around recommended that we had someone bring food in for us. The food for the maternity wards was cooked in a different building then re-heated having been transported across site. I remember rubbery toad-in-the-hole. When I had to stay in overnight with Rhiannon, meals were provided for her, but I had to go to the coffee shop three floors down. The menu on the children's ward was chicken nuggets and chips, sausages and chips or pasta in some very odd sauce. There was a call a while ago from a group of doctors for someone like Jamie Oliver to take an interest in hospital food. Lloyd Grossman supposedly re-vamped menus several years ago but I think everyone has forgotton whatever it was he recommended (if indeed, what he recommended was suitable for a hospital).
