Food Direct

The on-campus food delivery service...
 
Food Direct is open for trade on Tuesday 4 th May 2010 with a new improved menu and service. 
 
The story so far…
Our food tasting session in February gave us plenty of positive feedback and just the right steer on what our customers really want. The new on-campus food delivery service offers improved choice of food, more sustainable delivery options and a new hot line mobile number for customers to help with the delivery of food.
 
The menu offers a wider selection of sandwiches, rolls, wraps, finger food and soup. You can build your own menu from the selection of portion sized platters offering both sweet and savoury food. 
 
The sustainable delivery options are aimed at reducing costs and impact on the environment by providing a 3 tier service:
 
1 Just coffee/tea – use your own cups.
2 Add biodegradable cups.
3 Add full service crockery/cutlery
 
The hot line mobile numberwill provide further assistance with your order on the day.    We want to guarantee customer satisfaction so we have put in place Quality Assurance spot checks and after service questionnaires.
 
Food Direct is available all day from Monday to Friday, 7:30am – 6pm.

You need to place a minimum order of £10 and give 24 hours notice for drinks orders and 48 hours notice to guarantee food orders before the event.   We need 48 hours notice of any changes or cancellations.

Recipe
Lemon chicken
Serves: 2
Time: 55 min
 
This fresh and zesty sauce is the perfect complement to chicken - throw in some greens to add some colour or create your own variation with Moroccan spices and serve with couscous.
 
Ingredients
 
Method
1.  Gently fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown. Then carefully remove and put on a plate.
2.  Toss the mushrooms and onion in the oil and add the wine. Simmer over a low heat and add a pinch of dill.
3.  Grate the lemon skin into the pan, and add the parsley, lemon juice and black pepper. Simmer until the sauce has reduced by half and then put the      chicken back in the pan. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
4.  Serve with boiled rice and steamed green vegetables, such as cabbage or green beans.
