The new Student Union building features a cafe on the ground floor with a wide variety of food options, including the popular and dependable Starbucks coffee. The prices are reasonable, especially if you collect loyalty card points from your visits. The young staff handle the large crowds efficiently and quickly. A small Americano starts at £1.55. The only recommendation is to avoid visiting just before or after the hour, as this is when lectures begin and end, causing long queues. The cafe is a daily stop for many on campus.

We particularly love the 2 hot drinks for £3 deal, especially now that we can catch up with friends in the outdoor seating area. The restaurant has implemented extra hygiene measures, such as electronic payments and customer limits, to ensure everyone stays safe and practices social distancing. The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, letting customers know when their order is ready for pickup while they wait outside.
