Breakfast and lunch or dinner is provided every day during term time (including weekends), and in Welcome Week. That makes 31 weeks.

Please note that your overall accommodation contract is 40 weeks and we do not cater during the Christmas and Easter vacations. However, food will be available to purchase outside of these times.

No problem at all, we can cater for most dietary requirements and allergies, and all venues serving catered accommodation food are allergen accredited. Simply get in touch with the catering team in advance, or have a word with somebody on your first day.

There are four outlets currently serving catered accommodation –

The Marketplace serves a variety of cooked and continental breakfasts plus 3 hot options daily at lunch and in the evening. County and Bowland students predominantly eat here and we recommend that they mostly do this for a healthy, nutritional and balanced diet

Barker House Farm serves a variety of cooked and continental breakfasts plus a full bar menu with pizzas, burgers, salads, sandwiches and pastas. Students on the scheme can also avail of the salad bar during their meal. Lonsdale and Cartmel students predominantly eat here. There are also two specials which change daily, one meat and one vegetarian which we recommend eating several times a week for a healthy nutritional balanced diet

The Deli in the heart of campus serves a range of breakfasts from eggs benedict to poached eggs and avocado on toast, pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup and French toast. Lunch and dinners range from duck flatbreads to loaded mac and cheese and fresh stews prepared on site.

Fylde bar is the campus sports bar and is where students go to treat themselves every now and then. Fried chicken, burgers, loaded nachos and fries are all on the menu.

You can find out more, including opening times and menus, on the Bars, Cafes and Restaurants page.

All students on the scheme are housed together in their blocks.

Ensuite catered rooms are available in Cartmel, County and Lonsdale Colleges, at £256.20 per week. In Bowland College they cost £230.16 per week.

Whichever room type you choose will be exactly the same as its non-catered equivalent.

Your study-bedroom will be fitted out with a bed (with under-bed storage), desk, wardrobe, drawers, notice board, shelves and a chair. Curtains or blinds will be at the windows.

Again, whichever type of accommodation you live in will still offer the same facilities as its non-catered equivalent.

The kitchens are equipped with cookers and microwaves, kettle and toaster, fridges and freezers and cupboard storage space, as well as table and seating.

A vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron are also supplied.

You can find more information and photographs of each room type in the main undergraduate section of our website.
