As part of our ongoing development we love to gain insights on food and drink, from a cross section of our community. We have a group that meets once a term to gain insights into relevant areas such as global food trends, sustainability, cost of living and student engagement. Each term may have a different focus of discussion. If you are interested in being part of this group we would love to hear from you! Please leave us your details on this form and we will be in touch.

Food and drink Insights Group June 2024
On Thursday 13th June we organised a tour of our kitchen garden where Emily and Alex from the grounds team showed a group of students around the greenhouses and outdoor beds. This is a collaborative project between the catering and retail team and the grounds team where we are growing vegetables, herbs and salad for use in menus across our outlets, events and hospitality . This event was organised as a student experience giving an insight into what we are doing. See more here.
