Mamma Mia – Local care home residents celebrate National Pizza Day

What could be better on a cold February day? Staff and residents at Barchester’s Chacombe Park care home in Banbury had a fantastic time celebrating National Pizza Day on 9th February during their monthly ‘Pizza Club’ that meets on the second Tuesday of every month.

Happy National Pizza Day!

Overseen by chef Stephan, staff and residents experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations - from the exotic, to the classic and everything in between! Everyone ate their fill and declared National Pizza Day a triumph and a brilliant excuse to sample lots of delicious, warming pizza!

 

General Manager, Shaju Paul, 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!”
