Food can easily become an afterthought when you're trying to fit it into your busy schedule, but eating on campus is more than just a timesaver. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee on the way to class or sitting down for something hot in the SU, here’s why staying on campus for your meals makes sense:
1. You get rewarded for it (Bath Go)
Forget your average stamp card, our loyalty payment app Bath Go gives you points every time you buy food or drink at participating outlets on campus. The more you eat, the more rewards you earn, AND you'll have access to exclusive offers. It’s a little win that adds up, especially if you’re here most days.
2. It’s better for the planet
Eating on campus helps reduce your carbon footprint. You'll find outlets on campus that prioritise local suppliers and have sustainability built into their menus and operations. Reusable cup discounts, veg-led options, and waste reduction schemes are all part of the mix. Your lunch is doing good as well as tasting good.
3. It’s just really convenient
No need to trek into the city centre or panic over forgotten packed lunches. Whether you’ve got 20 minutes between lectures or want a chilled spot to work and snack, campus has a bunch of options right on your doorstep.
4. The food’s actually great
Gone are the days of soggy canteen chips. Across campus, you’ll find a range of food options made fresh daily from budget-friendly bites to full-on feasts. Menus change up regularly and there's a large variety of cuisines to choose from. Plus everything’s made with high-quality ingredients (none of that mystery meat vibe).
5. The staff make it better
There’s something comforting about being greeted by a familiar face when you’re halfway through a stressful week. The campus food team genuinely care, making sure to cater for your specific dietary requirements.
