We have an embarrassingly small budget for a team meal at work, but the beauty of being a manager is that we’re double counted - I get to take my team out for a meal, and in turn I get to be taken out by my manager for a meal. The system works. So the CDI leadership team heads out to the pub that is a four minute walk from the office, to sample the £12.79 lunch set menu. It is exactly what you could expect. It’s fine. It’s fried. It absolutely goes through me. Beer battered mushrooms to start; beer battered halloumi to follow; and a thankfully un-beer-battered apple pie with custard for dessert. It’s all adequate, but it’s a nice catch-up with everyone, and it was a couple of hours not at my desk. That’s a win for a Tuesday.
