Order terminal was mostly well designed and easy to use. Though wasn't clear how the meal deal worked. Food was generous in terms of portion size and was ok to slightly underwhelming. Would visit again, but probably not in a rush to do so.

I wouldnt usually write reviews, but I’ve come here quite a bit since the start of the “dish of the day” special. This £2 special is advertised by the university as being amazing value for money to help students with costs of living. Initially this was the case you could find roast dinners and full meals for £2 nowadays you’ll be lucky to not get a small apple burger on its own (which is the option basically everyday), and the one of the few days it wasn’t this option, I got a lazy wrap with 2 tiny chicken strips in probably 2 inches each and so the majority of the wrap was just the tortilla. Furthermore I’ve never been to a restaurant where I’ve been consistently expected to clean my own table.

Eaten here once after walking past when other places were shut and honestly it wasn't worth it. People who came after us got food way before and we ended up waiting for over 30 minutes for just chicken & chips which were cold when they came. Wasn't worth the wait or price as the chicken didn't have much flavour and staff looked way too busy to care (even though not many people were sitting in the restaurant). There are a lot better places to visit on campus unfortunately because I wanted to like it.

I'm from London and have a friend who studies here, so obviously this review will be somewhat skewed by my local standards, but I hope it's a good review!First off, the most important thing: the food. In a word, great. In a few, good value and pretty tasty given it's student food! On my most recent visit I had the Porky Blinders burger, a burger with toppings including pulled pork. This was tasty and filling, and for a full meal deal with chips and a canned drink I believe it cost me £6.50. This is tastier than a McDonald's big Mac meal, and that price is definitely justified.One criticism based on a previous visit: the 'homemade' cheesecake. That was definitely manufactured, and I stopped eating after a couple of bites as the base was essentially just dust. If the recipe has changed since the start of the 2021-22 academic year the restaurant is welcome to say so, and maybe on my next visit I will give it another go.All in all, a good experience and definitely the most filling thing on campus when the Canteen is closed. My go-to.

I was served disgustingly burnt chicken that was cold. Upon complaining I was given little help and no respect; I was told that there wasn't anything wrong with the food when it was practically inedible. Do not eat here if you don't want to throw money down the drain and get awful treatment, repulsive and shocking store, will certainly never go there again and I will be a good Samaritan by certainly informing others to save their time and money. Dehumanising would be an understatement.

I ordered chicken and chips but got it after 30 minutes and fries were cold and soggy. Many people ordered same food after me got their food earlier . I have noticed this racism before also here . University should change the management of this restaurant.

Food is mediocre at the best of times but hits the spot when u need lunch on campus. Had the grossest chips today though. Leftover food crumbs as seasoning?

Had to wait for more than 20 minutes to have my order, although there were only 10 people. And the orders after mine got to be served before mine!
