Why eat with us? We know the importance of providing food and drink that is tasty, good value for money, ethically and sustainably sourced and nutritional.

Also, no matter which campus you're on, there's always a food and drink spot nearby. At the University of Salford, there's a range of cafés, restaurants, and quick stop options to choose from whether you're looking for something warm and filling, healthy and fresh, or if you're in need of a sweet fix. 

Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal options are available at every location.

Sustainability and ethics

The journey your food goes on to arrive on your plate is just as important to us as the meals themselves.

When sourcing suppliers, picking our ovens, and tackling food waste, we've prioritised ethics and sustainability at every stage.
