60p for an Orange, £6.90 for a chicken & rice. In case the picture doesn't show that's a child-size plate as this week they've reduced the sizes.Last week they reduced the size of the burrito wraps to something I'd give an eight year-old.The tables don't seem to get cleaned now and no one knows what sides are included in the price of the mains (and it's self-service now).Management since Christmas 2018 has seen the place go rapidly down-hill.Over-priced, small portions and poor service.

Has its pro/cons of a Mensa. Wraps are good and the staff is friendly. The selection of drinks is good. Salad and fruit bar is acceptable but not extremely well stuffed. The prepared but cooked food has room for improvement. Some is overcooked and not quite my taste. If you know what to pick the price value is ok.

After a few years of bland food, this has finally become a great place to eat, with good quality food at a good price. Food is typically tasty, with good use of condiments (unlike what happened, say, 5 to 10 years ago). The only aspect that is not so good is the rarity of meat in meals, especially pork, but this is, perhaps, understandable given the tight budget this place presumably operates on. Also, the touch of a cookie or slice of cake being included in the price is excellent. I miss the fish and chips on Friday, though. I think it could be kept on the menu without too much detriment either to the quality of the food or to the finances of the restaurant.

A good selection of food, whether you're looking for burritos made to order, Oriental food, jacket potatoes, sandwiches, or just a coffee, it has a good selection. It's better than most of the places to eat on campus, with the food being of acceptable quality.The place does feel like a cafeteria (which, to be fair, it is), and doesn't invite you to spend much more time in than a short lunch break, or grab something in passing.

I was impressed by the food, especially when cooked in bulk as it needs to be. Good selections and options.

Nice place. Has several independent stands inside. One if a coffee shop, the other one is a burrito stand.It offers meal deals for students. This includes a lunch menu, a noodle stand, as well as a salad and yogurt self-service area. It also sells fruits, toast, bottle beverages, machine coffee, pastries and ice cream pops.Regretfully the actual food options are somehow limited and they stay the same everyday. If you have an allergy of food intolerance the options are extremely limited, since there is nothing to prevent food from being contaminated.The cashiers are generally nice, as well as the people working on the coffee shop, but the rest of the staff can be pretty unfriendly, getting almost offended if you ask for any clarification. I don't know about the burrito stand since I have not been there.The prices are slightly different than in other shops at the campus, so be sure to check.The wait at the coffee shop can long since the same person makes the coffee and changes the money.Still, it's a nice place to have lunch once in a while.The most annoying part of this shop is that it closes at 3:00 pm, very early and it's not open during the weekend.[Edit] The coffee shop was replaced by a tea place and somethibg else now. Have not tried it, but as the coffee shop was my facourite part, i dont go anymore.There is a market now to buy groceries. It is good if you have a meal plan and if you habe resuable bags, you can buy loose items. I dont buy much as it is too expensive for me. However, buying loose spices or grain can be convenient and susteinable.

The food at Eat at the Square is best on campus! The variety is vast for all types of cuisines. The food menu doesn’t change too frequently though, however, it’s not too bad. It’s open only during weekdays and only for breakfast and lunch which is quite sad and for those staying on campus are left no choice but to eat in Park Eat! It gets extremely crowded during lunch time so it’s best to go when it just opens around 11:15-11:30 am.

I love eat at the square, the ambience, the proximity to school, so if you miss breakfast, you are sure not to miss lunch or dinner before 5pm; and the service is cool

£8.80 for an all-you-can eat. They had reasonable selection mains, ramen, fruit and salad bar, dessert section. Amazing halal-friendly selection (about 70% is halal).The food is above decent at best. It's not amazingly delicious but at the price it's totally reasonable if you want to pig out half-way through your day.
