What’s included?

Our catered offer at Stephenson includes three meals a day, from Monday to Friday, during term time. That means you don’t have to devote brain space to menu planning when you’re studying. In fact, you don’t even have to plan where you’ll eat. Grab breakfast or lunch at the Village Store or any of the 17 cafes throughout the day, and then back for dinner at The Edge Hub in Endcliffe. The kitchenette comes with a fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave, electric hotplate and storage. 

Catered package details

Your meals, your way.

With the catered offer, you can choose how and where you want to spend your food allowance. You’ll get £35 on a GeniUS card each week during term time that you can use at the Village Store in Endcliffe or our cafes on campus. There’s loads of variety available, and outlets are located near the main faculty buildings.

Money left at the end of the week will roll over into next week, so there’s no need to worry about losing it if you don’t use it.

For dinner, enjoy a hot meal from the Edge Hub, Monday to Friday between 6pm-8pm. We'll be offering a delicious menu full of variety, featuring theme nights such as Fry Day, International Cuisine, Pasta, and Pizza!
