if one of you is going out to purchase a sandwich, why not ask fitter if he'd like one too.
he may not be staying on site over lunch, he may have brought his own, he may accept; who knows.
why not just include him.. surely you can stand the cost of an extra sandwich.
or better still, just get one anyway; if he doesn't want it, that's an extra half each for you two.

The offer of tea and biscuits is a given but I’ve never know a builder not to have a massive lunch butty box?

No you are not expected to
Regular cups of tea or coffee (maybe water if it is hot) and maybe a biscuit in the afternoon is more than enough.

I’m just wondering if you are expected to feed workmen.
I am having a new kitchen fitted and the cooker and fridge have been disconnected, I offer endless cups of tea, biscuits and crisps or cold drinks to the fitter but I feel guilty if my husband pops out to get us a sandwich and we eat it in the living room, the kitchen is like a bomb site so I’m unable to make one in there.
Should I have to buy this stranger a sandwich or should he bring his own.
