In response to student feedback, The Cafe will now be open later during The Shop’s reduced opening hours over the Summer period.
The Cafe will now be open for business between 16:00 and 19:00 for students to buy sandwiches, snacks, drinks and more. Hot food won’t be served however, this can still be purchased from either The Bridge or The Stag’s.
