Best works canteens

Having worked at a number of sites over the years wondering why the state of the British works canteen is so poor and so expensive for what you get...I think I am being spoil here in Denmark as its excellent and free !!
Today was:
Linguisines / mussels with veggies / prawn, shrimp and calamarie mix with rice or a choice from the salad and cold meat bar, then strawberries and icecream or cream (or both ) and I finished it off with cheese and biscuits or bread (choice of 20 cheeses, 7 breads and 9 different biscuits), back to my desk with a mug of perculated coffee...

think I may slip under desk for a snooze !!

Ha

I work in NHS in an in-patient psychiatric unit. Management have just cut the beds from 15 to 8. Unfortunately the contract remains for 15 meals with the caterers for the next couple of months. We approached the management to see if the staff could have the excess meals. Were told no "because this would create the wrong culture". So what do they do.



They throw them away.

Re: Best works canteens

Our works catering is diabolical.....however if you ever have a chance to visit the Met Office in Exeter, theirs, while not free, is the best i've ever eaten, and better than a lot of restaurants i've been in....

Re: Best works canteens

It's not just works canteens though.
Motorway service stations,
the one's in Italy are great,
the food is fresh, health, tasty and cheap.
And they serve you beer.

And in the UK we have Road Chef-
sometimes I wish I lived abroad.
Like the whole of this Summer,
