Work canteen oddities, part two

The other odd thing about the work canteen is wildly inconsistent portion sizes. Sometimes when I have eaten there it's been a normal sort of amount of food for midday lunch.

Other times... well, [personal profile] ceb and I went there for lunch when it was roast chicken, which turned out to mean "half a bird". Half a bird each, that is, and they didn't exactly stint on the Dauphinoise potatoes, either. Now, I cycle about 11 miles on workdays, so this was very welcome, but unexpected.

Maybe that was just an oddity? Nope; roast chicken again today, half a bird each, and the pork joint yesterday was a fair old chunk of a pig, too.

I wonder if lunch is sometimes hilariously small. I hope not.

Do they ever do vegetarian or vegan as main options?
