MEALS, Meal Plans & Menus at Sorrento Centre 2012
Experience the Taste of Sorrento
Sorrento Centre is all about gathering and sharing – gathering together for common purposes of worship, learning and fellowship and the sharing of ideas and experiences. No time expresses this pleasure more than the time we spend gathered together to share meals with guests at Sorrento Centre.
We are committed to making your dining experience healthy, flavourful and relaxing. We strive to provide you with meals that are nutritionally sound, ethically sourced and prepared with pride from whole ingredients.
In 2010 we began an ambitious project with our Sorrento Farm on an eigh- acre plot of land just down the highway from the Centre. Throughout the growing season the Farm provides our kitchen with a wide variety of produce, grown without pesticides or invasive methods.
You can expect to find Farm produce at all meals throughout the summer season, ranging from the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers in your salads to the seasonal vegetables such as carrots, peppers, eggplant, onions, celery and more which are used as ingredients in most of our meals.
In addition, our herb garden at the Farm provides much of the seasoning to our dishes which allows you to “taste Sorrento” in every bite!

All meals at Sorrento Centre are served buffet style in our dining room.
All breakfasts, lunches and dinners come with some standard features, which are always offered at each meal. To round out the meal you have the choice of one main entrée. You can choose the main entrées for your group in advance from the following menu selections or you may opt, as many groups do, for the Chef’s Choice.
The Chef’s Choice option allows our chef to decide on a balanced menu for your group taking into account the ages, interests and particular needs of your group and the seasonal availability of produce from our farm. Of course, our chef is always available to consult with you in the menu selection process.
