Food or drink ideas for floor fitters

Completed today and we have people coming in to do flooring for the next few days.
The house won't have anything in for food/drink so with the weather being especially hot, what would be a nice touch to get in for the workers?

Do you have a fridge freezer? I'd fill it with bottles of water, ice and lollies and tell them to help themselves.Squash bottle on the side or some pop too.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

We're not moving in until the end of the week so we've still got the fridge freezer at home because of our little one.Doozergirl said:Do you have a fridge freezer? I'd fill it with bottles of water, ice and lollies and tell them to help themselves.Squash bottle on the side or some pop too.
Might fill the sink with ice maybe and hope that holds out?0 -
A flexi tub filled with ice and bottled water and soft drinks would be nice and can be moved about by fitters,sink being near window ice might melt to quick.0

Cool box with ready chilled water and drinks, sealed packets of sandwiches on top (so they don't get soggy), snacks.

That's very kind of you, Random. They will almost certainly (surely will!) have everything they might want themselves, but a little extra is always welcome, and will likely be cooler than what they've brought.Simplest and cheapest way, I think, is a cool bag - less than a £enner - and a couple of gel freezer packs - these work really well.0

Yes I’d go with the cool bag/box, get some bags of ice cubes from your local supermarket, and some cold drinks/water, I’m sure it will be appreciated,0

Don't bother.
They will bring all their own stuff.
We always take our own stuff because we don't know what we will be faced with when we get on a job.

They're not going to NEED anything, but it would be good of you to have an ice-box or similar with cold water in. And for the odd ones who don't feel the heat, a kettle, tea bags and milk, and a packet of biscuits. I'm assuming you've got a functional loo for them? With handsoap and towel?1
