Where to eat

Stomach rumbling? As a student, you'll find competitively priced meals at our campus catering outlets all year. The Boulevard Kitchen in the Jerome K Jerome (WA) Building can set you up for the day with a hearty breakfast and take you through til lunch with a wide range of options, including dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal.

The Boulevard Coffee Lounge is open all day, including Saturdays, providing sandwiches, baguettes, salads, paninis and pastries as well as coffees, teas and cold drinks.

If you fancy a change of scenery, head to the Waterfront where you can grab a bite to eat (don’t forget your student discount) at restaurants such as Brewers Fayre, Bella Italia, Hungry Horse and TGI Friday’s, or there are student favourites such as Nando’s at The Wharf Shopping Park.

A mile away from student halls on campus, the Toby Carvery, on The Broadway is open from early ‘til late. Head in the other direction down the Birmingham Road to The Bell pub from Ember Inns. Alternatively, between the two, on the King Arthur Grill on Liskeard Road offers speciality English and Indian dishes to satisfy your cravings.

For something a bit different, ten minutes’ drive from campus will bring you to the door of Nepalese restaurant, Gurkha 1816. Or for when only meatballs will do, why not head to Ikea Wednesbury for your Scandinavian food fix. If you sign up to their free Ikea Family card you can benefit from a range of special deals: like a coffee and croissant for only 95p. Their Swedish Food Market is easy the go-to for your Eurovision party food requirements.
