Stamford Bridge Celebrates National Pizza Day

What could be better on a cold February day? Staff and residents at Barchester’s Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home in Stamford Bridge had a fantastic time celebrating National Pizza Day on February 9th, a brilliant excuse to sample lots of delicious, warming pizza!

Overseen by head chef Amy, staff and residents experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations - from the exotic, to the classic and everything in between! Some people controversially added pineapple, others preferred spicier options, and some stuck to a good old Margherita. Many people tried a folded Calzone pizza for the first time or branched out with a creamy base instead of tomato, everyone ate their fill and declared National Pizza Day a triumph!

General Manager, Emma Smith, said: “It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a National Pizza Day, the eyes of the staff lit up too! Who doesn’t love pizza? Our fantastic chef did us proud and we all had a great time trying out new flavour combinations and toppings, it was a wonderful way to warm ourselves up!”

Beryl, a resident said: “I absolutely love pizza! My grandchildren got me into it, we didn’t have it when I was growing up but I am a total convert now. We have had loads to sample today with all kinds of different toppings. They have all been truly delicious!”
