So much more than just convenience...

Eating on campus should not only be convenient (although it definitely makes it easier to relax between lectures), 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! 

Here are 5 reasons why you should eat at our canteens and cafés - and you never know, you might discover something new along the way. 

1. Fresh food, seasonal ingredients 🥑

As holders of the Gold Food for Life Served Here award and Green Kitchen Standard by the Soil Association  (and the first university in the UK to receive it across all of our campuses!), you can rest assured that all of our canteen dishes are made fresh everyday no matter where you are. 

This award shows that:

• Our food is served fresh
• Our food is responsibly sourced
• Healthy eating is made easy
• We support local food producers

So you know that you're going to be served a meal using the best produce. This also means we can cook dishes with seasonal ingredients, really making the most of the freshest food throughout the year. From your hot meals to your cups of coffee, we work with incredible suppliers to bring you the best of the best such as Waste Knot surplus veggies to Extract Coffee beans - putting the environment and your taste buds first.

2. So many options!

Eat dishes from around the world from your canteen chair. We take inspiration from so many cultures to offer as much variation as possible - so you can find a favourite every single time. We also have exclusive themed dishes for the biggest celebrations from Black History Month to Cinco de Mayo. Not to mention our range of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options in both our canteens and cafés. 

3. Putting value first 💸

We truly care about the food that we serve. With our suppliers right around the corner, we can guarantee that the ingredients we use are straight from the farm, benefitting all of our local suppliers and increasing the nutritional value of your meals. Know exactly where your ingredients come from and the people it benefits. We make it worth it. 

4. Food served by friendly staff 👋

Our staff love being able to put a smile on your faces through food. Get to know the people who put their time and effort into delivering a first-class uni dining experience for everyone on campus. They love getting to know you and this is a great opportunity to find out more about them. Develop the connections while you can and make unforgettable memories - you're only a student once! 

5. Sit amongst your peers 

Take advantage of these spaces. Our cafés and canteens are incredibly unique, offering the perfect hang out spot for you and your mates. Close to lectures and filled with people from all walks of life that are all sharing the same experience, the electric atmospheres of our catering outlets are the perfect place to make new friends and inspire each other. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
