Prices in canteens at work?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to work out a monthly budget to see how much I can afford to spend on rent next year - I wonder if anyone could tell me how much lunches cost in their office canteens so I can work out roughly how much to figure in for that? Thanks.

Answer 1

a sandwich is for 2 pounds

a crisp packet 50p

a can of drink 50p

Answer 2

Fraid there are way too many variables to answer this question...

London prices higher than anywhere else - including for canteen lunches.

Many employers actively subsidise canteen facilities by paying the provider, some subsidise by allowing the provider to operate free, many do neither and charge provider market rate rent to operate.

Different providers look for different profit levels.

As a result a 'typical' canteen main meal can run anything from under £2 in a subsidised canteen to near high street prices (4-5 quid) in an unsubsidised place.....
