Jenny Vanlint 

I have worked in the care sector for the past six years. Firstly in an Administration role and now as the Move-In Co-ordinator for Bentley House. I am passionate to ensure that the residents’ move into their apartment goes smoothly.

Head Chef

Tony Henderson

Standing next to my granny was my first memory of food. I would help her with preparing the evening meal for all the family and that started my love of cooking when I realised that I could make people happy just by mixing together a few ingredients.
I then started in the food hospitality industry in the mid-’80s and have over 30 years of experience in hotels, contract catering and banqueting events.
I believe in cooking fresh seasonal ingredients to provide well balanced and creative menus to meet my customer’s expectations.
I have moved to the private care sector to bring my wealth of experience to lead the chef team to higher standards of food delivery.
My wife and I love taking our two Labradors for long walks in the countryside where we live and also enjoy eating out to broaden our food knowledge

Working alongside my team, families, friends and visitors we are heading into the future with new ideas, thoughts and ways to make this happen.
