Not sure if we were allowed in as we weren't students but we were served. Excellent value, amazing carrot soup! Top tip: take your own cup as you will be charged 20p, which goes to charity!

Quiet and could do with better select of sandwiches but the lady who works there is an absolute star. Great meeting place at the university!
