Top food and drink deals on campus

Eating on campus can be very cheap if you look out for these deals and discounts!

£1.50 meal options across campus

All outlets across campus offer a hot meal for just £1.50.

This includes vegetarian options such as pasta, noodles, jacket potatoes and other varying items.

Munch box scheme

Munch Box is a wonderful way to help reduce waste. You can grab your own container and take it to one of the locations listed below at the end of hot counter service to get leftover food for just £2.50 (less than half the original price usually!)

Lime Tree (Mon-Fri 2pm and 7.30pm) (Sun 5pm)
Sports Cafe (Mon-Sun 3pm)
Fountain (Mon-Fri 2.20pm)
Pavilion Cafe (Mon-Fri 11am and 2.30pm)

Too Good to Go

Too Good to Go is another phenomenal way to reduce waste.
It's basically an app where stores like Fresh and the Market list "surprise bags" for food that is about to go off at a heavily discounted rate. These bags include anything from deli meats to pastries and vegetables.

I myself grab a too good to go bag from Fresh whenever listed, they're worth the money. I have previously received a £12 bag of croissants, cheese twistie, strawberries, marinated fish and cherry tomatoes for around £3.50.

It's not guaranteed you'll get things you like in your surprise bag, but it is a really cheap way to get good food.

You can even get too good to go bags from bakeries and cafes in the city.

Community fridge

There's a fridge located right outside of Fresh with short dated (but still good to use) food placed, whenever it's available.

The food is free to collect! Always worth a look in the fridge to see if there's anything interesting.

There's also a shelf right next to the fridge where you can drop off any unwanted items like packaged foods, books, binders, jars, decor, etc. Feel free to collect any of these items as well. It's usually quite full right before Christmas, Easter or Summer break is about to begin.
