Help save food waste while getting yourself a tasty deal

Sometimes we have a small surplus of perfectly good food at the end of the day. While we do our best to minimise waste, this can occasionally happen – so we've introduced a 50% off initiative to make sure it doesn't go to waste. 

It's a simple way for you to pick up something delicious, whether it's a panini or treat for the next morning, while also helping reduce food waste, making the most of what's already been produced, and saving a bit of money too. 

You have already saved a whopping 2625 food items (as of January 2026) since the scheme launched.

How does it work?

Whenever we have surplus food in our canteens and cafés at the end of service, they'll be available at 50% off on the same day. These discounted items will be grouped together with our 50% off signage, so keep you eye out before you head home. 

What could be on offer?

You might find discounted items such as: 

  • Sandwiches and paninis
  • Hot meals
  • Pastries and cakes
  • Soft drinks

Next time you're leaving the campus, drop by the canteen or café - you might save some food and money.
