Run by in-house university caterers Source, the cafe offers ethically-sourced food and drinks, and provides outdoor seating.

Customers can purchase cold and hot food and drinks
Students visiting on a recent weekday morning thought it was a welcome addition to the university campus, with many of nearby catering facilities recently having been converted into study spaces.
Second year student Isaac Norris said: “I think it’s a good hub to bring people together in the sun to get their Vitamin D.
“The use of a shipping container is very innovative and it speaks to the younger generation, but considering that it is in a student area, the food is fairly pricey.”
Outdoor seating is available
