School Dinners

[Disaster]

Can yours beat this?

 

I had this lovely chicken wrap for lunch today and it only cost me £1.40!!!!

[synaesthesia]

That means you must work here - where abouts are you?

[iceman85]

That's so nutritious, I love the use of sauces and salads. Must be nearly 1/8 of a chicken breast in there!

[tech_guy]

Hey, where's the freakin' greenery?

[Danp]

Hahahaha! That is bad, sorry for laughing.

 

I wont tell you that I had a bowl of soup with bread and butter, followed by chilli beef and noodles finished with a chocolate brownie and cream then? Oh, that is free ;-)

[Disaster]

Hey, where's the freakin' greenery?

 

That's not included. You'll have to buy a plate of salad for that, but I'd have to sell my car to afford both!

I had a giant yorkshire pudding filled with chicken casserole, boiled potatos and green beans Edited November 11, 2013 by JJonas

I think that is the "tear and share" option. Hope you shared it with the rest of your team.

 

I thought I had seen it all!!

[Woodeh]

Hilarious, will be emailing the Canteen Manager this one.

[Edu-IT]

Wow... Just wow...

[elsiegee40]

I'd submit that to neverseconds (young Martha) for her consideration

Is your canteen outsourced?

[Disaster]

Is your canteen outsourced?

 

It is indeed. Was that photo a give away?

Oh no, I'm not saying all outsourced catering is bad! I was just curious. I'd be interested to see some more delights though that are served up at your place. Maybe we could come for a meal?

[Trapper]

LEA catering lots of stuff, mostly crap.

 

Outsourced catering little portions, mostly nice.

 

At my last place we had the best of both worlds through the LEA on a separate contract. £2.00 fish, chips and mushy peas. And no staff member ever finished it all!

[mac_shinobi]

Can yours beat this?

 

I had this lovely chicken wrap for lunch today and it only cost me £1.40!!!![ATTACH=CONFIG]21459[/ATTACH]

@Disaster - where is the salad / salsa / soured cream etc ??

[TechMonkey]

Hahahaha! That is bad, sorry for laughing.

 

I wont tell you that I had a bowl of soup with bread and butter, followed by chilli beef and noodles finished with a chocolate brownie and cream then? Oh, that is free ;-)

 

+1 to this. Not to rub it in or anything.... Well, actually slightly different but you get the idea FREEE FOOOOOOOODDDD!!

[Edu-IT]

Why do some places charge staff more? Seems a bit odd, if they are the same portion sizes?

Staff get charged VAT, students don't.

[Marshall_IT]

The dinners at my school are really awesome!

 

Main meal which includes a soup an main or main and dessert costs £2.64 for staff.

 

 

 

Recent highlights include calamari, swordfish, roast beef, roast lamb...

[Disaster]

@Disaster - where is the salad / salsa / soured cream etc ??

That's extra. A spoonful and a half of Colseslaw was 43p!

 

Our menu looks ace on paper too, but this is the the reality. The canteen staff are ace though and do sort me out where they can and they are well understaffed.
