BBC Workplace has re-launched the catering provision in Broadcasting House at Bristol.
The re-launch includes a new menu with locally produced food as a permanent feature; the longer term aspiration is to have all items sourced from within a 50 mile radius.
The tills have been relocated to prevent queuing across the deli bar and a new jacket potato section has been created. The deli bar features a new range of bread plus freshly prepared sandwiches and rolls.
Other features include an upgrade to the displays, new china serving dishes, and a re-branded coffee station serving Fair Trade coffee.
Porridge is now available in the mornings with a choice of toppings, such as nuts and dried fruit. The toast bar offers a new selection of bread and bagels, with a choice of preserves, peanut butter and, love it or hate it, Marmite.
The changes have gone down really well with customers so far, eliciting comments such as those below. Well done to all concerned for a great achievement that will hopefully go from strength to strength.
"Brilliant Christmas roast lunch: the best meal I've had here by about 85%! Please keep it up - it's so fab - a huge improvement!"
"Congratulations with the changes. Quite impressive and appealing. Food tastes much better and hot. Keep up with it - look forward to more."
"Working on BBC Drama and in Bristol for 10 weeks. Catering staff here are friendly, efficient and flexible - and all of us want to move to work here!"

shouldn't there be channels for different kinds of food with segmentation of the customer? if you want chips you can't have rice in the same queue? shouldn't it all be digital?
if the bbc ran the canteen with the same philosophy they ran the network then what would happen? An office top heavy with well paid executives running a staff of unpaid/low paid staff? Top talent paid huge sums?
if the bbc was a food what kind of food would it be?
