2024 has been a remarkable year for the Catering team, and we’re incredibly proud of our achievements! Not only have we renewed our 3-star rating with the Sustainable Restaurant Association, but we’ve also earned Fairtrade Accreditation as a university, receiving 2 out of 3 stars.
We’re committed to continuing our sustainable practices across campus, offering students eco-friendly food and beverage options all year round.

This January, be even greener by choosing from our sustainable menu items! Whether ordering a Fairtrade organic coffee, opting for one of our vegan options, or indulging in a vegetarian meal, we’ve got you covered. Veganuary is easier than ever with daily specials at Drake’s Kitchen, John Bull Cafe and RLB Cafe. Loafers Deli serves great sandwich options, while The Container and other campus cafes offer tasty treats. Don’t miss out on Reservoir Cafe, our vegetarian and vegan cafe offering healthy and delicious meals!
