Loyalty points information

We have installed a new till system in all our units across campus.

By Easter 2023 we are looking to roll out a brand-new app-based loyalty programme with new offers and deals.

Just a reminder that the hot drink loyalty points offer utilising your staff and student card is no longer valid, payment via this method is no longer accepted.

Friend Stop

Meet new people, connect and share experiences at the café's Friend Stop.

Starting university may be a daunting experience, that's why the cafés on campus have created designated pop-up tables to encourage students and staff to sit, have a natter and make friends on our open and inviting tables.

Everyone is invited to sit at the Friend Stop; whether you're on your own or with a friend or colleague, take a seat, share the table and have a chat with new people.

Whether you stay for ten minutes or spend your time eating breakfast or taking an afternoon tea break, the cafés aim to bring everyone together.

Global Recipe Book

As part of Global Week, 14–18 November 2022, staff and students were invited to share their favourite recipes from around the world.

After receiving some excellent submissions, the Global Recipe Book was put together by the Catering Team, offering you the chance to create these dishes and try something new. Each page offers everything you'll need – from ingredients through to cooking methods.
