MoD Abbeywood - 4 restaurants, hairdressers, shop, gym, tennis, 5 a side, surrounded by landscaped gardens and a moat.

I wonder how they find the time to procure the nations military requirements...

Kind of explains how the muppets bought a rifle that only fires right handed (SA80) and a bunch of aircraft carriers that have no planes...

bringing your own coffee and cafetière is something that i have done for years, can't abide bad coffee, of which starbucks is one of them.

I've done that with hotels, own teabags and milk as well.

This is only my 5th gig place (after 2 permie roles) so my experience is a bit limited. But Radbroke has to be the best place I have worked at by a long way.

My best contract working environment was in a pleasant office with opening windows, lots of totty, our own proper espresso machine, decent restaurants and nearby sandwich shop, and 20-30 minutes from home. A good bunch of colleagues too. And the latest kit and software to work with.

Best permie working environment was in a converted barn in countryside, shooting and quad bike riding in abundance, plus fine restaurants and pubs nearby. Pity that the boss was such a cheapskate and turned what could have been successful projects into fights to keep substandard kit working.

Used to work next door at HP a long time ago. They were pretty good too but not quite that good.

Banks inside building, tidy restaurant. Gym, squash courts etc (£10 life membership for contractors).

Just a bit of trek to drive every day....
