Find places to eat, drink and shop on campus

Choose from a wide range of cafés, dining halls and bars. Burgers. Sushi. Pizza. Steak. Vegetarian and vegan. We’ve got snacks, three-course dinners and most in between.

Catering outlet closures

With the exception of The Hub, all of our catering outlets on campus are now closed until further notice. The Hub will remain open for breakfast (8.30-10am), lunch (12-1.30pm) and dinner (6-7.30pm) every weekday and for lunch (12-2pm) and dinner (5-7pm) at weekends. Please note that The Hub is now cashless. Customers can pay for goods with their College card or credit card, but cash is not accepted.

There are several different bars, restaurants and coffee shops to choose from, each with its own style and character. Whether you prefer to grab a coffee and work on your laptop, or somewhere comfy to enjoy a home-cooked meal with a large group of friends, there is a great choice. Take a look at Your Campus Food and Drink Guide to see details of what each venue has to offer as well as the term-time opening hours of each.
