Catering, cafes and bars
We offer catering in many of all halls and have several cafes and bars across our accommodation sites.
Catering in halls
We have five catered halls; Ashburne & Woolton in Fallowfield, and Dalton Ellis, Hulme Hall & St Anselm in Victoria Park. Those living in catered accommodation have their meals included in their accommodation fees. Catering is not provided during the Christmas and Easter holidays; however, to keep things simple, the catering cost is spread out over the full duration of the agreement. If you live in self-catered accommodation and you would like to eat in one of our catered halls, then you can buy into catering on either 'pay as you go', 'pay termly' or for a 'full year'.

Cafes and bars
You’ll find a bar at each residential campus (City, Victoria Park, and Fallowfield). In addition to being conveniently located, the bars host regular events, have pool tables, and serve a range of competitively priced alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
The bars are just for students and are a great place to socialise with your new flatmates without needing to leave your halls.
We also have our cafe, Brewed, located on the Fallowfield Campus in Uttley House. Brewed offers a range of hot drinks, snacks and meals during the week.
