    Yep, I knows what its like. Currently working in a place with a cafe/bistro open from 7am-7pm, a restaurant serving so many things from so many countries I don't know what to choose, outdoor garden and tables with fountains, and barbecue when the sun is out....

    It's tough, but you just have to think long term.

    Jugged hare for me today I think.

    Scrummy.

    Ah, but the coffee is supplied by the Client, not by myco. As such I receive no BIK from my employer (myco) to be taxed on.

    It's also available to all visitors, contractors, permies, cleaners and anyone who makes it past the front desk ( not hard ) so cant be classed as an employee perk either
