Our on-campus café is set in a beautiful listed building with window walls and outdoor seating overlooking the picturesque campus main lawn. It's a great spot to meet friends, grab a drink or a bite to eat, and relax between classes.

We serve fresh coffee, speciality teas, cold drinks, and smoothies, so you can be refreshed, whatever your taste. Non-dairy milk is available – just ask at the counter.

Our food menu covers meals, light bites and snacks, breakfast options, and lunchtime classics like paninis and chicken nuggets. We also have plenty of plant-based food options for you to enjoy.
