Room service

Nothing is straightforward at the BBC. Big Cheeses at Salford Quays sanctioned Meat Free Mondays in the corporation's eateries there earlier this year: "You’ll be surprised how much a simple act like removing meat from our menus can help reduce water use, land use and greenhouse
gas emissions." 

But from emails released in response to a Freedom of Information enquiry, the hard line wavered when it came to MEETINGS.

"Can I just check – does this include Hospitality as well? So when you have a meeting with sandwiches – meat free?"

"I think let’s leave hospitality out of scope for now.  It’s a good point to raise and of course it might seem odd if you can get meat via room service and not in the canteen, but I’m guessing it’d be easier to just focus on the restaurant at this stage?   Particularly if people have already ordered food for the 5th and would need an explanation.    Don’t mind either way though TBH."
