As it's run by and for the students, prices are very cheap so you really can't go wrong.

Asked if there were any other vegan options if I fancied a change (being based at a college I didn 't think this would be a problem given almost 20% of 16-24yr olds now identify as vegan and are leading the movement! but I was just shrugged at and told not really . Came another day to see a superfood salad on the menu I could have had? Put me off coming for team lunches

Breakfast-generous and good value. Sue B. makes the best scrambled eggs with nice thick slices of toast. Lunch- burger in a brioche bun, slaw and chips. I was very impressed with the presentation. The burger was thick and juicy with salad and a big size. The slaw was crunchy and tasty and the chips were big and not creasy. You won't go hungry and the prices were reasonable for an outsider. Well done Sue B for another outstanding meal.
