Healthy eateries on campus…
There are various eateries on campus, which have many exciting healthy food choices. Firstly, The Lime Tree – the most popular eatery on campus, which boasts a vibrant salad bar as well as other vegetarian options such as quiches, jacket potato’s, the daily Easy Bean meal and Soup of the day.
Secondly, The Patch - the new lunchtime hub with a variety of flavourful vegetarian and vegan meals, has become a favourite for experimental students wishing to try something new in their diet and maybe even take part in Meat Free Mondays. In addition, The Sports Café in the Sports Training Village offers more delicious meal and snack options such as wraps, the daily curry, post work-out protein smoothies and a healthy version of fro-yo.
