Here are all the best spots.

Having sunny warm days over the last few weeks has given way to outdoor games, walks in the fields around campus and spontaneous picnics by the lake. I’ve found myself spending a lot of time outdoors with friends and it has been the perfect opportunity to try out the summer treats in our food outlets.

There is such a huge variety that is available across campus; whether you’re in the mood for something light and refreshing or a hearty meal, the summer menu has got you covered.

For a lovely lunch with friends, a meal deal from the Market is perfect, especially when paired with the charming view of the ducks by the lake. This makes for an effortless, impromptu picnic. 

I’ve found myself taking a lot more walks around campus to destress and I usually pair it with some dessert or a smoothie to treat myself. The ice cream from the Sports Café has been quite popular among my friends and personally I would recommend the strawberry clotted cream flavour- it’s the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess which reminds me of cheesecake! If you’d rather a smoothie, they can be found at Pitstop, 4W, Nourish and the Sports Café and they have a good range of different flavours.

Make the most of this weather and explore the summer food campus has to offer. Whether you're planning a picnic by the lake, craving a refreshing drink or something sweet, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
