We're proud to offer a diverse range of food and drink options across campus. Each of our cafes, bars, and restaurants has its own unique identity and atmosphere, ensuring there’s something for everyone. What remains consistent across all our outlets is our commitment to meeting the needs of our diverse community. Wherever you go, you’ll find:
- A variety of plant-based options and nutritious, healthy meals
- Allergen information available for every dish, upon request
- Quality local produce used whenever possible
We also cater to special dietary needs - just ask a member of our team, who will be happy to assist you.
Allergen Information
We’re committed to providing the information you need to make informed menu choices. Allergen information is available for every dish and drink we serve across our cafes, restaurants, and bars on campus.
Menu descriptions don’t list all ingredients, so please check for updates each time you visit and inform your server of any allergies, intolerances, or dietary needs. Our allergen list covers 14 major allergens, and our team can assist with specific dietary requirements or modifications.
Allergy Awareness and Support for Students
If you wish to raise awareness of food allergies with your housemates then this Allergy Awareness poster (PDF 73KB) can be downloaded and displayed in your accommodation.
If you’d like to inform our Safety and Compliance Adviser about your allergy, you can fill out our online Student Allergy Awareness Form and email it directly to them. Please note that if you don’t give consent on the form to be contacted, we won’t be able to reach out to discuss your needs. Even after submitting the form, it’s important to always talk to a member of the catering team about any requirements when ordering on campus.
If you have any questions regarding dietary requirements, food allergies and living on campus, or wish to discuss your needs with our Safety and Compliance Advisor please contact us at catering@kent.ac.uk
Halal Policy
Our Halal Food Policy outlines our commitment to provide Halal-sourced food options, recognising the diverse needs within our University community.
While our kitchens aren’t Halal-certified, we ensure Halal-sourced meat options are available at several campus dining locations.
We follow strict guidelines for sourcing, handling, and labeling Halal-sourced items, and our staff are trained to prevent cross-contamination during preparation and service.
