In today\u2019s blog, new team member and recent graduate, Emily, points out the advantages of buying a Meal Package Card.<\/em><\/p>\n

Picture this: you\u2019re on Streatham campus with three assessments on the go and an empty cup of Barisca coffee. It\u2019s 6pm and the hunger is starting to kick in. You could go home but you\u2019re in self-catered accommodation and your designated cupboard and fridge space only has a can of beans, an instant noodle pot and milk. You\u2019d rather have something freshly made, like pan-fried salmon or cottage pie. A food shop is possible, but you don\u2019t have much time. Then you remember; you have a Meal Package Card.<\/p>\n

What is a Meal Package Card?<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

As a self-catered individual, the card is your golden ticket to eating in catered residences – Holland Hall, Lopes Hall and Birks Grange – alongside your\u00a0catered friends. Best of all, there\u2019s no washing up afterwards.<\/p>\n

With just one card priced at \u00a336, you can have 7 meals any days of the week, whether you fancy pancakes for breakfast, lasagne for dinner (plus a side dish and dessert!) or brunch on the weekends. That\u2019s just over \u00a35 per meal \u2013 not much for the price of letting someone else do all the work.<\/p>\n

What if I have particular requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most food is self-serve, which means you\u2019re in control of what\u2019s on your plate, and with a varied menu, if you\u2019re vegetarian or vegan, gluten, dairy and nut free, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

Every Tuesday is also dedicated to tasting international cuisine<\/a> so prepare to be transported, and let\u2019s not forget, special occasions such as Christmas and Valentine\u2019s Day have themed menus too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Want your own Meal Package Card? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Visit the University\u2019s Online Store here<\/a>. There\u2019s no limit to the number of cards you can buy, so if you can\u2019t get enough of the food, you can always go back for more with another card.<\/p>\n

For additional information on eating in catered residences and Term 1 menus, check out our Catered Residences<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n

Bon appetite!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
