A: We cater at the headquarters in Bridgend and 10 police stations across South Wales. In total there are 5,500 people in the force, but the numbers we cater for depends on what's going on day-to-day.
Q: What sort of service do you provide?
A: At the 10 police stations,we serve breakfast and lunch, while at the headquarters we'll provide three meals a day. We also provide packed lunches for police who are away from the stations on jobs — we provided 280 packed lunches on the day of the FA Cup final for all the officers working in or near the Millennium Stadium. We must also be able to provide an emergency hot meal service within two hours — for example, if there's a murder enquiry involving lots of officers working around the clock
Q: So what do Welsh policemen like to eat?
A: On Thursdays it's curry day in every police station— and the officers go mad on it. It's the most popular day in all the restaurants. On other days pies and roasts go down quite well. We always have healthy options available and we ensure that we offer dishes that meet with various religious and dietary requirements.
Q: What's the average spend per head?
A: If an officer is on normal duties, their meal will cost about £2.50.
Q: What sort of contract is it?
A: It's a fixed-price contract, whereby the police pay us a fixed subsidy. The annual turnover of the contract is about £600,000 a year.
