The facilities currently serve approximately 25,000 meals per month, with the Knights Table averaging 200-250 meals per meal period on weekdays and 200-300 on weekends. The Hot Pit Flight Kitchen provides takeaway options and operates primarily on weekdays.

The government emphasizes that the Performance Work Statement (PWS) is still in draft status and may undergo additional edits.
