Food Services at BID Plymouth
Our certified director of food services plans menus and oversees all food preparation. Registered dietitians work closely with your physicians and nurses in planning an appropriate menu for you. Each day between 1:00 pm and 2:15 pm a member of the food services staff will come to your room to take your breakfast, lunch, and dinner order for the following day. Please take a few moments at that time to place your order. If you are not in your room at that time, you can place your order by calling food services at ext. 2163 and speaking with a supervisor. If food services is unable to reach you, they will place an order for you. Patients in the BirthPlace and Transitional Care Unit order from printed menus.
Food services personnel are located on patient floors to provide faster service to you. Beverages and snacks, if allowed by your physician and your special diet, also are available on each unit. If there is anything you need, please ask.

Special Meals
Please remember that your physician determines the type of diet you need. Certain medications and/or the type of therapeutic diet may alter how food tastes to you.

The food services department can accommodate most special requests, if allowed within your therapeutic diet. Whether you want a kosher meal or a light evening snack, our staff is happy to serve you.
