September events, promotions and offers on campus

Here’s what’s coming up this month.

Zero Waste Week – Monday 7–Friday 11 September

We’re celebrating Zero Waste Week by highlighting some of the ways we’re working to reduce food, packaging and plastic waste across campus.
  • Bring your own reusable cup and save 20p on your coffee. It’s a simple way to reduce single-use packaging every time you grab a coffee.
  • Help us reduce waste by separating food waste, recycling and general waste into the correct bins.
  • Did you know that our food waste is sent to an anaerobic digester, where it is processed to generate electricity?
  • We’re working to minimise plastic waste across campus by using plant-based takeaway packaging and offering drinks in cans and glass bottles.
  • Milk from a pergal is available in six of our cafes. Each pergal helps save around 14 plastic milk bottles from being used. You can also purchase a reusable glass milk bottle and fresh milk to enjoy at home or in the office.

National Beer Lovers Day – Monday 7 September

Celebrate National Beer Lovers Day with some of our tasty Jail Ale-inspired treats.
Look out for:
  • Jail Ale chutney and cheddar sandwich from Loafers Deli
  • Mini Jail Ale and chutney quiches at The Container
Perfect for anyone who enjoys a little local flavour with their lunch!

National Guacamole Day – Wednesday 16 September

Celebrate National Guacamole Day with two delicious sandwiches from Loafers Deli.
  • Tex Mex Sandwich – refried beans, guacamole and salsa | £3.25
  • Guacamole, Chicken & Bacon Sandwich | £4.25
Which one will you choose?

Feel Good, Do Good Fair – Monday 21 September

Come and find us at the Feel Good, Do Good Fair in the Rolle Marquee.

Celebrate Welcome Week with a delicious bacon butty from Drake’s Kitchen, RLB Cafe or John Bull Cafe and receive 10% off.
A three-rasher bacon bap will be just £3.47 (student price).
