Where to eat on campus

Explore our campus cafés, takeaway options and special dining events.

You'll never go hungry on campus. Our eateries offer a huge range of hot meals, quick snacks, cold drinks and – most importantly – caffinated beverages. You can sit down and take your time or grab something to go, and there are plenty of dietary‑friendly options too – gluten‑free, vegetarian, vegan and halal.

Keep in mind that our campus outlets are now completely cashless so you'll need your card or phone with you to pay.

Reducing our environmental impact

Sustainable practices are vital. Our cafes now give away used coffee grounds to community gardens and offer a discount to those who bring their own reusable cup.
