Wates House

Wates is also a great place to grab a bite to eat at lunchtime. Following feedback and requests for a light and healthy lunch time offer, we have extended the offer with a daily lunch special board including soups and salads.

The bar has been relaunched with a fabulous range of cocktails including a great non-alcoholic selection, in addition to draught beer, cider and a range of bottle beer.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter and Instagram for offers and news.

Opening hours (semester time)

Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation we are closed until further notice. For full information please see campus service opening times.

Beef burgers are made with 100% chuck steak served in handmade rolls. Other favourites such as buttermilk chicken, our vegan sweet potato and chickpea burger served with kachumber salad, slow cooked ribs and chicken wings are available along with sides from celeriac and apple slaw to fried mac and cheese. Fries are seasoned with rosemary sea salt and bacon gravy is available for dunking.
