Award-winning food for great value at UAL canteens and cafés

Eating on campus should not only be convenient, but have everything you need as a student. We understand the importance of needing balanced meals that don't sacrifice flavour which is why we make sure that our dishes are nutritious, diverse and delicious, and our canteens and cafés comfortable. 

Here are 5 reasons to eat at our canteens and cafés today:

1. Fresh food, seasonal ingredients 🥑

As the first UK university to earn the Soil Association's Gold Food for Life award and Green Kitchen Standard across all Colleges, we make our canteen dishes fresh daily. 

These awards show that:

• Our food is served fresh and is responsibly sourced

From your hot meals to your cups of coffee, we work with top local suppliers to serve you the best of the best – find out where our food comes from.
