Bramcote slop factory - Absolutely f**king crap food, manky, cold, under cooked etc, filthy conditions, shItty cutlery, rubbish condiments etc
F**king civvy slop mechanic though they could get away with serving s*** to previous JLRA lads but when faced with regular Unit carried on.

Soon changed after many reports by DSNCO and DOO

Hope it is better now (What 15 years ago, shite times flies)

:D

Best to eat: Anything prepared in the field by the ACC. Just loved it

Unless you ate at the Gurhka hotplate in which case it was fookin awesome.

I concur, food at the Hotel on Telic 3 was awesome, was a nightmare though when the power went down, trying to eat it in the pitch black. :(

Wolfgangs bratty truck ruled, even if you were lost wolfy knew where your compamy/ squadron etc where.
Half a chicken and chips and a yellow handbag you can't go wrong with that one.
Other than that best PRB Guterslöh when the RAF still Ran it.
worst PRB when the RAF left and the ration asassins took over

Best for amounts: Depot PARA

Saltiest: Officers Mess RMAS

Most unpalatable: Deepcut

Having said all that in the field and lucky to be near them the ACC could not be bettered!

Edited for typos.

Good HMS Raleigh (basic training, old galley)
Crap - with PAYD and contractor - HMS Nelson
Best on course - Brize C2004
Best on exercise - Thumrait, Oman - Crab catering when its good is very good
Best on tour - Lashkah Gar - awesome KBR and Ghurka curry in PB Woquab- just dont ask whats in it
Worst on tour - Musa Qualah - Noodles anyone?

Best - quite a few really. Lisburn in the early 80's (especially after the bar and sneaking into scoff at 11pm pretendng to be on shift), Bessbrook Mill, Brize Norton and Fort George Londonderry to name a few.

Worst - Westdown CAmp. In fact ANY of the transit camps on Salisbury Plain, but Westdown is by far the worst. I still gag at the tought.

Any cookhouse that catered for Royal Engineers was just utter crap....if we were lucky and shared a cookhouse with another unit the food would improve three-fold.

Chatham literally scrapes the barrel in abysmal food without doubt.

In fact the first time I got fresh milk or any bread and butter was I became a civvy again.

Best RE cookhouse was at Waterbeach-curried rabbit freshly shot by chef! :D

Best - Flax St Mill - Ardoyne 1980 - Egg banjos.
Worst - Flax St Mill- Ardoyne late 1980 - out of date Egg banjos, 3 weeks of the squits. Cnuts.

Worst:- colchester(obvious reason's)
Best:-anywhere the food was edable and the meat WAS dead
