IR35 and client's canteen

[kaiser78]

I have been told the lunches in the canteen are partly subsidised by the clientco. So to protect my IR35 status I just go to supermarket and buy my lunch there. Is this the reasonable precaution or am I worrying too much?

What are the chances realistically of you being caught in this situation - extremely slim to none ?? Fill your boots and pig out.

Aren't we taking this (IR35) a bit too far? During contract in CPH the company provided free breakfast, free lunch and free evening snack (if you are working beyond certain evening hours like 17:00 hrs), HMRC never complained.
