Lunch and Dinner

All meals come with a selection of self serve hot and cold drinks available from the dining hall. A finishing station of sauces seeds and fruits are there to compliment your meal.

Ordering packed lunches

For those with an early start or late finish a packed meal choice is available for you to order from your front of house team. Requests need be ordered before 1.30pm one day prior to your requirement. Your meal card is required upon collection.

Take-away options

Due to strict food safety we cannot allow hot protein foods to be removed from the dining hall for consumption elsewhere on campus.

What we can offer are food items that you can cook within your student accommodation so you can cater at your own convenience.
These can be pre ordered through your dining hall manager.

You're student ID and meal card

Your student ID serves also as your meal card, each day it is loaded with 3 meals for that day’s consumption and must be presented at each meal service, failure to do so may result in your meal being refused. This gives you added security into the halls.
To help with unnecessary queuing please have your diners card ready at meal times.

If you are unfortunate to damage or lose your card the dining hall will allow you up to 6 meals (two Days) to get your card replaced. If after this period no card is produced then further meals may be refused.

A replacement card can be issued for an admin fee of  £7.00  from the Student Accommodation Office.
