Eating on campus

EATING ON CAMPUS

The food outlets on campus may be operating in a limited way this year. Check your Welcome Pack for full information.

(Note that times may be subject to change – always check with the food outlet for the correct times)

Your student ID card acts as your Catering Card if you are in catered halls. It is loaded with the weekly amount every Friday night on a “Use it or lose it” basis.

If you are in self-catered halls, you can also use your Campus card for buying food and drink on campus by transferring money from your bank account to a Campus Card Web account. Please type ‘Catering card’ in the search bar on the Intranet.

EATING OUT

If you go to a restaurant, you will usually be taken to a table by a waiter/waitress. If the restaurant is a popular one, it is best to telephone and book a table in advance to ensure that you get a place. Most restaurants serve vegetarian dishes as well as meat dishes, and many are halal – just ask. It is usual to leave a tip of 10% at the end of the meal, except where service charge is already included in the bill.

Cafés are good places to go for a drink (usually nonalcoholic, hot and cold drinks). They always have a range of snack foods. In some cafés, a waiter/waitress will serve you; in others, you need to go to a counter to order and collect your drink/food.
