To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will ensure that there is a basic late lunch hot food option available to purchase between 2.30 pm and 5.00 pm on sitting days.
Catering service provision across the Parliament provides a robust offer around parliamentary business. Service timings for lunch in the Garden Level Restaurant are based on levels of demand, ensuring efficient use of resources in line with parliamentary requirements. Alternative options are available after 2.30pm at the Coffee Bar where a hot sandwich option can be ordered and in the Public Café where hot food options including soup, baked potatoes and a range of sandwiches (including hot) are on offer until 5pm. Hot food is also available from 4pm in Queensberry House Lounge.
