When Julia and I recently moved office we took advantage of the new space to buy a kettle and a really small fridge. This means my lunch can now involve such exciting things as pot-couscous and salads which would be a bit grim if left at room temperature until lunchtime. But I still can't manage soup unless I bring a flask, or anything as exciting as a ready-meal or a jacket potato. Still, it means I'm no longer living on sandwiches, soup and crisps from our mini-canteen.

What cooking/catering facilities do *you* have at work? (NB your "canteen" could just be a vending machine). [Poll #1405942]

We still have to do the washing up in the sinks in the Ladies mind, which is mildly off-putting.

I think you should include a sink for washing up within your facilites list.

Oh, and we have a toaster. And the microwave is able to grill, too, if suitably programmed.

And we have a freezer.

When working at Acorn, I remember there being a freezer containing frozen pizzas. You were permitted, if working late, to take pizzas from the freezer and nuke them - you were supposed to list who, what and when in an associated book, so the stock could be kept up to date, but you weren't charged.

Sinclair used to have a free vending machine (if 'free' + 'vending' makes real sense), and hot canteen lunches were free too. On the other hand, wages were relatively low.
