You’ll find a healthy, warming lunch on campus thanks to the café makeover

Just in time for the cold snap, the transformation of eating places at the University should make picking a good spot for lunch a little bit easier.

Our colleagues in Accommodation & Commercial Services (ACS) have been working hard this summer to transform all our cafés giving each one a personal look and feel. Fresh new menus have been designed for each outlet and there are plans for quarterly promotional campaigns to showcase their seasonal menus.

“We can’t wait for you to sample the new look and fresh new menus, our bespoke Coffee HoUSe blend, food you’ll love and an atmosphere you won’t want to leave,” said Pat McGrath, Director of ACS.

Brand new places to eat include:

• Uni Central, Level 4 of the Students’ Union, serving up global street food. Opens 23 September
• The View Deli, also on Level 4, for healthy deli sandwiches and an amazing view of the city. Opens 23 September
• Grill & Go, Level 3, for halal options and freshly grilled fish and meat all wrapped in a flour tortilla. Opens 30 September

Why the change to It’s GeniUS?

Pat McGrath explained: “I’m delighted to announce the new and improved offer at the ACS food and retail outlets, the outcome of a major project where we have taken huge strides to develop our retail provision.

“Since April 2013, we’ve been working with the Holman Group to make some major improvements to our retail outlets. We carried out research on all of the individual outlets and listened to customer feedback taken from a survey earlier this year. The Holman Group brought their high street expertise to the project, as well as their experience of working with well-known brands and contract caterers such as O'Neill's, All Bar One and Searcy's.

“This is a big job so please bear with us while we go through the process of updating all our venues. We’re trying to keep any structural changes to the venues until Christmas time, so as to keep any disruption to your daily activities to a minimum.”
