I'm not sure, if it's really the free part. I had free food at a previous employer and loved it, but a company cafeteria with high-quality food, fast service and acceptable prices serves the same purpose. And every single company cafeteria I ate in so far had same or better quality food with more options. The important thing is that there is an easily available place for good food. Big corps in Germany (and probably all around the world) usually offer that, while small companies for obvious reasons cannot afford it.
