I think eek has summed it up.

First port of call is your client. Ask them what their policy is first thing Monday and don't let them fob you off.

Thanks for your response, most appreciated. Yeh I’ll see what their response is tomorrow and hope for the best.

So talk to your client and ask them to transfer the beefeater on tab to uber eats on tab. If they're not flexible, then look for another gig or take the hit. If they're not flexible, you don't want to work for them anyway. And if you're making a loss, you're better off.

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it. Fingers crossed they do the right thing given the current situation.

Good luck! Hopefully your client will see sense and let you WFH for the duration of the lockdown

Pot noodles (other cheaper instant noodles are available) and fruit.

And I’m sure something can be arranged as it suits nobody for you to starve.

What you eat affects your body, mind and overall health, including mental.

Beefeater doesn't sound good and neither does takeaway. You should be insisting on good accommodation and, ideally, decisions that are none of their business. A higher rate accounting for this is preferable to what you are provided now.

This is a chance for you to renegotiate. Unless you're working on a very important project, such as government, military or NHS, there's no need for you to be in. They sound like a tulip client.

As others have focused on, get your client to be practical and responsible, and wfh.

Company directing where work is, paying your expenses etc? Is there a chance this gig is inside which could add a whole different aspect to this issue?

[ladymuck]

Do we assume this gig is inside which could add a whole different aspect to this issue?

Sounds like it.

Quite unusual (to me) to hear of a client covering the subsistence tab in this manner.
