Food at DMU

The Food Village is the university’s main dining facility, located at the heart of campus in the Vijay Patel Building, at the crossroads of Mill Lane and The Gateway. We offer a wide range of menus covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our daily selections include various food concepts at our hot food counters, along with everyday favourites such as sandwiches, snack pots, crisps, and confectionery. Most items are available to order through the Uni Food Hub app or in-store kiosks, making it quicker and easier for us to serve high-quality food in less time. We’re here to provide you with the best dining experience at an affordable price.

Our main counter, Dish of the Day, features two sections: one offers a Savoury Range with budget-friendly options, while the other hosts weekly pop-ups that bring innovative and healthy food to DMU! This academic year, pop-ups take place every Tuesday and Thursday. Follow @dmuunifood on Instagram to stay updated with the latest food news!
