Here's what's coming up at UAL canteens and cafés

Whether you're completely new to UAL canteens and cafés or are coming back for more, get involved with all of the new and exciting events, reveals and tasty deals to kick off the year with a bang. Here's what's cooking on campus for the new term...

Exclusive pop-ups every month 

That's right, you can expect high-end pop-ups in your canteen every single month. Think restaurant-quality food without leaving campus. 

Introducing the UAL Food and Drink Package 🤤

Take the hassle out of student dining and eat well for less with the UAL Food and Drink Package, giving you access to freshly prepared, nutritious meals Monday to Friday during term time. 

More information coming soon! 

Take a look at some of the delicious dishes you could be eating in our canteens: 

Unveiling the new Lime Grove Café ☕️

We'll be stepping into the newly-refurbished Lime Grove Café for the first time, featuring a refreshed layout and fantastic food offering. 

🗓️ Open from 15 September 2025

Here's a sneak peek of what the counter will look like, but stay tuned for the full story and café pic coming soon 👀

Get ready for our Autumn blends 🍁

We'll have some tasty new seasonal drinks coming this October, featuring some of your favourite Autumnal flavours. Our sun-sational drinks will still be available when you arrive, but they won't be hanging around for long so enjoy them before they're gone.

Speaking of drinks...

In the last survey you asked for functional drinks, energy drinks and kombucha, and guess what? Our fridges will be stocked with these fuelling drinks, bursting will flavour and brought to you by ethical brands. 

A calendar with free pop ups will be shared soon – watch this space. 

More themed celebrations 🌍

Throughout the term we'll be celebrating all of the biggest holidays the best way we know how – through diverse and delicious food and drink. Think themed counters, limited edition drinks and carefully crafted menus. These are great opportunities to join in on the fun, try something new and meet new people. 

Our weekly menus will be filled with delicious and nutritious dishes created by our talented chefs, so you won't have to worry about finding familiar flavours or trying something completely new. We're also now serving meat soup at selected sites along with our plant-based option. See what meals you can get in our canteens for as low as £3.30. 

Keep your eyes out for the Chef's special too where our chefs will be cooking up surprise new dishes. The name 'Chef's special' will appear on your weekly menu when it's on, but the actual dish will be a secret – so head to the canteen to find out what it is. 

See some of our students' favourite celebrations in our canteens last year and get excited for a calendar of new ones! 

Brand new UAL house espresso 🫘

Don't worry, our beans are still supplied by the amazing Extract Coffee Roasters, but this year we're going bold with flavours of Belgian chocolate, black cherry and treacle with the Rocket espresso blend. If you need a pick-me-up during the day, this'll do the trick! 

Head to our cafés during Welcome Week to be one of the first to try our new coffee blend. 

P.S. Don't forget to check out our updated canteen and café offers, so you can make the most of them from day one.
