When i was doing my apprenticeship was told i could only drink 1 of my 4 pints of milk a shift during tea breaks.
Then when i went to work in the great NHS, they had just got a new manager, who recinded the rule of no kettles in departments, bring a flask or go to the canteen fotr a cup of tea.
A ocal police station, theyre not allowed kettles need to use the communal tea machine 1 per floor , no food only in canteen,

And this kids is why eating food at your keyboard is a bad idea, it causes the crumbs to get trapped under keys and difficult to press.
As I recall things, the Employer must provide the means to make a hot drink. If hot food is available nearby there is no requirement to provide means to heat food. Eating place away from desk is only required where the desk is in an area "visited" by the public. Otherwise, eating at the desk is the norm, though not best practice. I don't think "food" is defined so it may even apply to KFC:-)
Does your Employer provide an oven and/or an eating area?
There needs to be an area for eating that does not include you desk.
what the hell are you doing in your sad little offices that means that you can't possibly leave your grubby little desks for a break and some sustenance
earning a crust...
if I eat at my desk, and work through lunch it means I can leave work earlier and get home to see my son before he goes to bed.
time poverty is rife.
Tell them you need it as part of your religion, they'll soon cave in and let you have your own way...
I don't get why anyone would want to buy their food in a bucket, animals are fed from buckets not humans.
A woman in my office ran out screaming the day that someone had heated up some fish in the microwave.......she was of her tits on Champix at the time which might explain things
Sorry, I'm struggling to understand how KFC can be so vile it makes you puke.
It's chicken, and batter. I can't see what's wrong with either of those things. Ok so you get the odd bit of fatty skin in it, but that's no different to roast chicken.
Employers have to provide a way to heat food
Unless there's a canteen, I assume?

Getting my hours in so I can go home earlier and see my family.
Chicken and batter, fine. The colonels secret sauce, vile. Whatever he puts in it, tastes like knob cheese stirred into an old chip pan.

as above KFC is a bit greasy but its just fried chicken if you find that revolting you should see what people have to eat to survive.
It isnt the greatest food but there are much worse such as most premade sandwiches
Today my place of work served smoked trout, stuffed peppers(rice and mushroom) pots with butter, salad and brownie for desert. All grown on site, including the trout and freshly cooked. Plus it's free to employees.
Even the queen and prime minister take lunch, what the hell are you doing in your sad little offices that means that you can't possibly leave your grubby little desks for a break and some sustenance? it must be VERY important.
Eating whilst I do work, so that I can go training in my lunch break.
KFC should be banned on the basis it's not got any nutrition in it, and is therefore useless as food! Very good at making you fat tho, if that's what you want to be
if people are gonna smoke in the office, I'm gonna do meth.
If people are going to smoke meth in the office, then I am going to....
Unless there's a canteen, I assume?
Yup or hot food nearby.
lunch is for wimps
somebody had to say it 😉
I see the issue here... You work in an office.
I however, work in a steel/titanium extrusion. Were allowed to cook pizzas and stuff in the dye oven.
One bloke did get a verbal warning once though for cooking eggs in a frying pan which was laid on top of one of the titanium bars whilst it was heating up.
Confession time, My knees go weak for the zinger burgers, towered.
I'm with you there dandax :$
The colonels secret sauce, vile. Whatever he puts in it, tastes like knob cheese stirred into an old chip pan.
Tell me, what caused you to try knob cheese stirred into an old chip pan so that you could compare the two?
Hungry? Supercharger Burger & double fries. Nom*
Agree their chicken pieces are fairly inedible.
*Followed by bloated chicken sweats.
Week one, day one of apprenticeship,
Bend a tig rod back on forth on itself to make a heating element. Put one end into the stick welding torch. Arc it onto the bench on low juice.
Make toast.
😀Confession time, My knees go weak for the zinger burgers
👿towered.

I'm assuming alcohol and boredom.
The sex cup was full.
Hey, we've all tasted knob cheese.
I guess that's why they've sold out then...

Shirley, you must know that the above statement is utter bullshit?

Reading STW, I assume
would anyone admit to liking the bucket chicken?
I like a tower burger every now and then, but I've had the bucket chicken once and it was utterly disgusting. Given that I was half cut at the time, I dread to think what it would taste like sober.
Here's a summary of the rules [url= http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg244.pdf ]Welfare Regs[/url]
Seems the desk is OK providing it's big enough, not good is it?
KFC chips are rank, I'll give you that, but a Zinger Tower is awesome. It's got a hash brown in it for god's sake. Hash browns make anything absolutely turbo awesome.
Our head office has a ban on eating hot food at the desks primarily due to the smell. We do have a canteen that they can go and eat in and most people prefer to get away from the desk anyway.
It's not really a hash brown though. It's more like a sanitary towel made out of raw potato that has been used to mop up around the back of the chip fryer.
Rank.
