Food and drink outlets
University of Leicester is filled with experiences and discovering that go-to dish you can’t get enough of. It can become a lasting memory and is why our food and drink offer is more than just vibrant, tasty food; it’s about creating connection.
We offer choice when you need it! From Pearl’s bubble tea to Soul’s Caribbean classics, our food and drink options are as unique as you are.
It is this diversity that brings us together, it is not just what you eat, but where you eat it and with who. Whether it is grabbing a coffee and catching up in ULSB Hub, a hot or cold offering from one of our 24/7 vending machines, or meeting for lunch with friends in Queens, it’s the heart of university life.
Sustainability isn’t a term we use lightly. Our food and drink are, wherever possible, handpicked, locally and ethically sourced, to create delicious seasonal dishes for you to enjoy.
Good food is here and now so are you.
