Forks were perhaps the wrong way up. Lots of dirty fingers on tips M

Tables/chairs - not possible to push chairs in on any of the tables M

Free drinks M

Korma could do with more flavour M

Tuna paninis/quiches M

More jerk chicken - it’s the best in the Commons M

We enjoy coming to Moncrieff's because the food on offer is fresh, hot and tasty M

For certain days of the week to be a certain dish day i.e. curry Wednesday M

The buffet looks nice and simple - I appreciate that. Tasted great too M

Moncrieff's is the best restaurant in the Commons - if you can be bothered to take the lift! M

Great if you could open half an hour earlier on Wednesdays (because of PMQs) and stay open half an hour later also - food is great, but sometimes I miss it M

Sandwiches are inedible - fresh ones? Like at Lords M

Better coffee M

A wider range of paninis would be food like Despatch Box in PCH M

Open the window blinds M

The food is often rather colder than would be optimal M

Gluten free and sugar free dessert - basically a fun free dessert! M

[Missing] seeds for flat bread M

Healthy food promotions M

Fantastic food and prices M

Breakfast please!! M

Vegetarian food needs to be better - not enough variety in non-veg food too M

Buy one get one free deals M

I am confused as to when the restaurant is self-service or not (sometimes I'm told to help myself, sometimes not) M
