Meal Increase
Dear all,
As you’ll all know, the price of food has risen lately and this unfortunately means that our catering costs are too high to continue as we are.
From February 1, I’d really appreciate your co-operation in the following measures we’re putting in place:
- Meals will go up from £1.50 per day to £2 per day.
- There will be a strict “no helping yourself” policy on salad, crisps, cake and biscuits, or any other items. If you’ve not paid the £2 that day then ALL food is off limits (apart from Eileen’s weekly cake round of course).
- We will be putting a stop to off-menu ordering. So everyday you’ll have a choice of a good quality hot meal or alternatively a sandwich, salad or jacket potato (with any filling). Nothing else will be prepared for you so please do not put the catering staff in an uncomfortable position by asking.
We are also looking at installing a vending machine to give you all an opportunity to buy snacks. Taking a bag of crisps or a packet of biscuits from the kitchen now and then may not seem like a big deal and I appreciate it isn’t done maliciously, but when lots of people do this it all adds up and we just can’t afford to let it slide anymore. Hopefully a vending machine will be able to offer more choice and be an option for when you need that afternoon snack.
I understand that a rise in price is never welcome, but this is the only way we are going to be able to keep running our subsidised canteen without using too much of the donations that people give us to look after our children and young people.
Thanks so much for understanding and helping us keep Danni’s Diner the best it can be for our families.
King Regards
John
