What's happening in halls? 

Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about celebrating in halls too. This Wednesday, make sure to try one of our Black History Month inspired dishes from your halls menu.

Looking for a comforting vegan or veggie dish? Try our Karma' cauliflower curry inspired by the vibrant and spicy flavours of the Caribbean, or opt for a slice of hearty macaroni pie. If you're in the mood for something lighter, why not try the Caribbean-style market fish? Or, treat yourself to some succulent, crispy southern fried chicken (halal).
