What's it like and what can you eat inside the UK's quarantine hotels?

Ten days in a hotel, food brought to your door and all the TV you can watch, may sound appealing to some.

Tea and coffee is available in the room so breakfast is a cold affair - croissant, fruit, cereal bar, yoghurt and juice, sometimes with a bacon or egg bap or smoked salmon bagel. Samantha is training to be an accountant, so the enforced isolation has been a good opportunity to knuckle down and study.When booking your "quarantine package", as the government website calls it, you can't choose a particular room or try to get an upgrade when you arrive. Those flying into Heathrow could end up at the Radisson, Holiday Inn, Novotel or Renaissance hotels - they find out after booking.

Outside exercise, with a security guard in tow, is allowed. But Samantha says she'd rather not take the risk, despite having had the vaccine.

Wow that looks really nice 👍

BBCPolitics Sorry, no sympathy. If you’re selfish enough to travel in the middle of a pandemic then what did you expect? You’re lucky they let you in and they didn’t send you back to the virus hot-spot you’ve come from!

BBCPolitics I hear only 1% of people entering the UK are being quarantined.

Doesn’t look very hygienic in box🤢

BBC short on news? Where are people going and coming from in a pandemic ?

If the government is forcing people to isolate when they fly back from abroad then it’s the government that should be paying the bill . There’s people who worked abroad got laid off then had to come back home should not have to pay.

BBCPolitics I mean those lunches are better than people get in care homes... These people chose to travel back to the UK 🤷🏻‍♂️

Food likes nice, can’t tell if hot but looks ok. Those quoting the 1750, that’s not just for food.includes tests, security, food, accommodation and travel.

Get 7% double 5 times of your money invested. Ask me how.

well if you decided to risk going on holiday during a GLOBAL pandemic, I have no sympathy for you

BBCPolitics Meanwhile the other 99% arriving here get to eat whatever they like ... at home, according to information given to a recent parliamentary committee.

And war dodgers, immigrants & migrants get 3 start treatment...FREE!, AND THEY STILL COMPLAIN, This country has no morals any more.

People know the risks and still chose to travel. Why is any form of media giving these selfish prata coverage

Why are the media still covering this!! Are we supposed to feel sorry for them or something? We all know the rules. I'm not going on holiday because I don't want to pay £1700 to stay locked up in a hotel for 10 days, I'll wait until these restrictions are lifted thanks.

Looks nice

They should be grateful for being looked after so well after travelling in pandemic selfish fools

A lot of 'lockdown forever' & general high horsery on BBC feed. The reason given for lockdowns was to protect the vulnerable & the NHS - we've now vaccinated the majority of vulnerable & elderly. Hospitalisations levels have fallen, yet we're still strangling the economy.

BBCPolitics Did you know, if you just stay home you can cook whatever you want to eat for whatever price you can afford?

BBCPolitics Don’t want to be stuck in a hotel room, don’t want to eat the food...don’t travel during a pandemic. Have special food requirements...do what you done before when staying in a hotel. Stop moaning and pay the fee or don’t travel 🙄

Yummy

For all the people, only about 150 out of 15000 daily teavellers go into this hotel q. It should be for all to be fair. People who are diabetic or insulin resistance should not ear a bag full of pasta. People have their own reasons to travel.

That’s how quarantine hotels look from the outside

No sympathy whatsoever. Anyone who has the audacity to go traveling during a global pandemic and then COMPLAIN about the quality of the food during the quarantine period they knew they'd have to go through needs to give their head a shake!

Clickbait

I wonder how many of the governments mates travelling for business had to attend ?

That foods looks healthy and tasty.

Don’t really give a fuck about people in quarantine as they chose to travel knowing the rules. It’s only 10 days.

Brown cardboard box V Brown cardboard box....Stark choice 😷

Cover this

It looks like don’t travel during pandemic else you’ll be quarantined.

People keep saying you chose to travel, how about overseas students? Already payong double the fee for univerities, paid for health insurance for months even not being im England and self isolating is very easy if you already booked and paid your own accommodation.

imprisoning people without a sentence at their own expense is a scandal like never before !!!

Don’t travel then.

Well done for destroying yet another industry. Start saving your money people . This bullshit will soon end when companies collapse . Especially Amazon. Stop buying from them and Covid restrictions will disappear real quick.

Brown paper envelopes more like.....

You chose to travel, do stop complaining.

Seriously! Stop moaning about this please: - you decided to go away - you got to go away when others haven’t - people are dying and you’re morning about having food? Here’s a reality check for you

Well at least you’re not being asked to fight on the frontline for your country like our older generation-I wonder if their food was delivered in such nice containers? If you decide to travel then you should accept quarantine! Most of us are not even considering it-holiday in uk

Your choice to travel...either factor in the additional cost or don't travel, maybe avoid UK and travel direct to your destination, but if your coming into UK £1,750... 10 day quarantine...stop moaning.....

All 3 look delicious. I make 2 of those all the time, reminded that I should order some couscous.

What wrong with that? Looks better than normal airport hotel food 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can't grumble with that. 😛

We’re all making sacrifices somehow. This looks like one of the easier ones.

I recently had to spend two weeks lying on my side 24hrs a day after a retina operation with 10 minute breaks to eat and stretch I would take hotel quarantine over that nightmare any day of the week

Only idiots holiday in a pandemic

Maybe she should’ve stayed in Dubai. Or came back sooner.

Decent

It wasn’t meant to be luxury, regardless of the cost . Hopefully this will deter people flying into the UK at this present time . Everyone celebrates New Zealand’s Covid lockdown , so shut the F**k up 🤨🤨

Brown paper bags are better for the environment. You tweet about it every friggin day

Shocked to see these meals containing non-English items such as croissants, yoghurt and garlic. And of course potatoes are from Peru. As quarantine is basically the same as Brexit you'd expect the organisers to pay more attention to the national interest.

It's better than prison... if they complain put them in jail for quarantine.

The food choices are very limited, and what about those who medically require special food?

I'd eat that, looks nice, stop moaning.
