Students have a huge range of meals and snacks to choose from, including vegan and vegetarian options. Main meals range from British classics like ‘Yorkshire pudding wraps’ and ‘Proper Cornish sausage rolls’, to more exotic options such as ‘Katsu Chicken Curry’ and ‘Halloumi and Red Pepper Burgers’.
