I spend in the region of £4.50 to £6.00,
There is a works food kiosk, supposedly subisidised, but the main meal comes out at about £4, but the quantity isn't fantastic and because Im there I also end up picking up a snack, flapjack/crisps and a coffee.
Occasiionally the quality of food is so poor I end up gong to the local pub.
200 days @ £5.00 a day = £1000 (ouch)0 -
I tend to take sarnis or leftovers, but if not about £2.50 ish.
