Meal Rates
When you register at the User Office, your site pass will be loaded with credit which can be used to pay for food and drink in the restaurant or coffee lounges.
Although users generally eat onsite, claims for evening meals / takeaways purchased locally will be reimbursed up to a value of £25.00. Alcoholic drinks cannot be included in the claims.
If you need to work at weekends, claims for days worked may be submitted at the above rates. Please tell the User Office if you plan to work at the weekend, so that they can put enough credit on your site pass.
If it is impractical to travel home at weekends, users may stay, provided this is first agreed with the local facility contact. Although the accommodation will be paid for, users will be required to pay for their own meals.
Mileage Allowance
Mileage between the facility and your establishment can be reimbursed at a rate of 45p per mile.
Passenger allowance is 5p per mile per passenger
Please note that passenger names are required when claiming a passenger allowance.
