Where can I use it?
You can spend your allowance in any of our twelve University cafes. These are strategically spread across campus, meaning you're never far from one. None of our cafes are the same, each offering a unique menu and atmosphere.

How does it work?
You receive an allowance of £50.00 per week on your Fob. This Fob becomes your payment method and can be used to purchase any food or drink item from our twelve campus cafes. When you get to the till, instead of paying using your bank card, you scan your Fob. The cost of your item(s) will then be deducted from the £50.00 weekly balance on your account. And that's it!
Does the Annual Catering Package cater for dietary requirements?
Of course! We cater for those following a vegan, vegetarian and halal diet. You can also find a detailed allergen list here.
What happens if I lose my Fob?
If you lose your Fob, just let the friendly team at the Catering Hub know as soon as possible via catering@ncl.ac.uk or 0191 208 6363. They can then cancel your lost Fob so nobody else can use it and order you a new one. As soon as you receive this, you’ll be able to start spending your credit right away. Please note that replacement fobs will incur a fee.
