What's on offer

From the healthy options in our meat-free cafe and our great value Sussex Saver range to tasty burritos or locally-sourced bread and sweet treats, we want good food to be one of the cornerstones of campus life here at Sussex.

We want to build and nurture communities through welcoming spaces to eat together, menus which embrace international cultures, and innovative and sustainable practices.

Our goal is to deliver high standards and uphold ethical practices throughout the supply chain with a service that aligns with our values of kindness, collaboration, integrity, courage and inclusion.
