Eat, meet friends and socialise

There is a range of places to eat at the University, from coffee shops to sandwich bars, the student refectory and the Students' Union social venue, Ten2, where you can choose from a wide selection of hot and cold food and speciality dishes.

Named after its address, 10 Northampton Square, Ten2 is a multi-functional social space. During the day, it's a place to meet friends, eat, chat, surf the web or relax between lectures. In the evening, the venue becomes a vibrant social space that hosts a range of attractions from televised sporting events to fashion shows and quizzes. You can even reserve a table or an area for your own functions.
