So you can get a tasty deal whilst fighting food waste

Did you know that you could get half price food at the end of the day? 

According to Waste Direct, the UK produces an unbelievable 9.5 million tonnes of food waste every year – that's enough to fill 4,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

Which is why we want to make sure that perfectly good food and drinks in our canteens and cafés get enjoyed, not wasted. 

To help fight food waste, we offer delicious surplus items at a discounted price whenever we can. Since we introduced this offer, our staff and students have even saved over 2,000 plates of good food (and counting!), and you can be a part of this great achievement by making the most of our half price surplus offer. 

How does it work?

Whenever we have surplus food in our canteens and cafés at the end of service, they'll be available at 50% off on the same day. 

We won't know until the end of service if there will be any surplus food in your canteen or café, so make sure to keep your eye out for any discounted products before you head home.

What could be on offer?

To try and save as much waste as possible, we have a range of surplus items you could get for less, including: 

• Hot food from our canteen hot counters
• Grab and go products
• Pastries
• Soft drinks

So whether you're not in the mood to cook after university, feeling a little peckish at the end of the day or just end up walking past our cafés or canteens and spot the offer, it's a great way to save on the washing up, save yourself some money and such a simple way to be sustainable – all while making sure you can still fit a nutritious bite to eat into your busy schedule. 

Because when doing good tastes this great and feels this good, why wouldn't you?
