Your guide to the Flexi Food Plan

Going catered at Vine Court this year? Save time on washing up and enjoy the benefits of having freshly made food at your doorstep.

How does it work?

Your catered package means that you’ll have £77 per week to spend on food and drink at lots of different outlets across campus (alcohol not included). Every Monday, your balance will reset with £77 credit.

You can pay for your food and drink using the University's Loyalty Plus app or you can swipe your student card at the till. When using the Loyalty Plus app you’ll automatically get a 10% discount off what you purchase as well as other benefits.

Please note that the catered offering will begin on Monday 16 September so please ensure you have some groceries for those first few days after you arrive.
