Regular readers of this blog may remember my previous posts about the NEC in Birmingham.
Their canteens used to put the 'ming' in Birmingham but they've come on leaps and bounds recently.
I go there twice a year for work, once to exhibit so I'm there for a week, 9 hours a day and once to visit so I'm normally looking for lunch and I'm armed with expenses.
My first post about the NEC was my actual ranty email to the NEC after a bad experience with the products on offer and the service/lack of knowledge.
My second post was the reply I got, which didn't really fill me with much hope.
And my 3rd post was a post I made after finding with surprise and delight a whole gluten free section in the fridge in one of the hall canteens.
After my recent visit, I'm pleased to report that the gluten free section is still there - with a new and improved range of sandwiches.
I emailed the NEC again and they were very pleased that I enjoyed the new sarnies and took on my suggestion of providing soya milk in the canteens.
Just goes to show - you don't get if you don't ask.
If you are visiting the NEC - you will also find that the Starbucks in the main concourse sells gluten free sandwiches (made with Genius bread) and make a very delicious soya milk Frappuccino! (New obsession, not a good discovery for me!!)
