Experience of 3 sites operating this and all pretty much as described above. Anyone attend the DiN at Henlow where the (Guest) Boss of the New Contractor declared the food so bad there would be no charge?
Meal times brought forward or reduced (especially at weekends) just to save staff costs (who the hell signed-up to a contract where 7:30 for 8 meant over-time for the staff?).
At Henlow, we were also informed that, in due course, Mess 'Public' Property would become the property of the contractor. Couldn't believe it myself, but several in the room were adamant. Anyone here confirm this?
Was it 3 or 4 of the High Wycombe Offrs' Mess Chefs that left during the first week of PAYD?
