Help save food waste while getting yourself a tasty deal

We always try to stop food waste from the start, monitoring food demand patterns across your College and adjusting production to avoid any waste. But, when overproduction does happen, our 50% off initiative makes sure that perfectly good food in our canteens and cafés don't go to waste.

It's a simple way for you to pick up something delicious, whether it's a panini or treat for the next morning, while also helping reduce food waste, making the most of what's already been produced, and saving a bit of money too.

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. These discounted items will be grouped together with our 50% off signage on the café counters or Grab and Go fridges, so keep you eye out before you head home. 

What could be on offer?

You might find discounted items such as: 

  • Sandwiches and paninis
  • Hot meals
  • Pastries and cakes
  • Soft drinks

You saved a whopping 2,625 food items saved so far! 🎉

That's right – 2,625 food items and counting since the scheme first launched in March 2021. Let's work together to save even more. 

So next time you're leaving the campus, drop by the canteen or café - you might save some food and money.
