Dietary requirements

Campus units

We try to cater for a variety of dietary requirements based on demand.

All of our cafés have vegetarian options available, and we are continuing to expand our plant-based provision, with the Frederick Douglass café offering a daily plant-based option. If you're after a vegan meal and are unsure about what you could get, please ask one of our team members.

If you're looking for Halal dishes, visit Chicken Shack which serves a variety of Halal chicken meals; please bear in mind that these are not made in a Halal certified kitchen.

Catered events on campus

With enough notice, we can cater for most dietary requirements; simply let us know what you need when making your order.

Although we do not have the facilities to provide Kosher food, we can put you in touch with a university supplier who may be able to assist. Plant-based food may provide a suitable alternative, although it does not meet strict Kosher laws.

We also have Halal products are available on request.
