We operate a number of great value eateries, coffee shops and cafes in various buildings across campus. We have over 30 in total - so chances are you’re never too far away from a hot meal, refreshment or a quick snack!

We aim to deliver value for money, excellent service and great food and drink. We want to create areas that are comfortable and enjoyable where you can relax and socialise with your friends, have meetings and working groups or sit quietly and cosy up with a coffee and your laptop.

We are also always on the lookout for fresh ideas and imaginative dishes to keep our menus exciting and make sure you don’t get bored! Get on the move and explore the whole campus – your  new favourite dish might just be round the corner!

In January 2011 FoodonCampus launched a Sustainable Food Policy and Action Plan to offer healthy, sustainable catering that is produced, processed and traded in ways that contribute to local economies and sustainable livelihoods, avoid damaging our planet, enhance animal welfare and provide social benefits.
