At least you get a canteen. Every place I ever worked you were lucky to find a microwave and a toaster.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

The best one I ever saw (and ate in) was Lloyds Bank on Pall Mall (wonder if its still going)

Canteens are intentionally crap so you prefer to be at your desk working.
Hence why "pub lunch?" is a popular question that always gets the same answer when working with a few other contractors.
Just need to make sure there's a few decent pubs doing grub within a few miles of the client site. Proper contractors have that as one of the must ask questions for the interview.

Best ones I've been to are Cadbury's HQ in 25 Berkeley Square in Mayfair and Microsoft in Thames Valley Park.
The worst was a public sector company in Swindon.

That's a good argument for keeping them crap. Too easy to pile on the pounds if it's genuinely good or too subsidised.
Unless they also offer a free gym, and you can be arsed to use it.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
