Welcome back from Chartwells! We provide the catering on the DMU campus, and over the past few weeks we’ve been working hard to make some changes to the menus, food offer and experience you can expect from your coffee shops and cafés.
Launching on Monday 10 January, our new opening times and menus have been designed to offer the ultimate eating experience on campus.
Riverside Café (Vijay Patel Building)
With its own unique ambiance, our new menu focuses on healthy choices and sustainability. Featuring two homemade soups (one of which will always be vegan), homemade vegetarian, vegan or meat filled baguettes and paninis, and a small but delicious range of whole cakes and tart slices, we’re sure there’s something we can tempt you with.
If it’s a great cup of coffee you’re after, enjoy a fresh brew from social enterprise Change Please. 100% of the profits from coffee sales go into supporting homelessness, so for every award-winning cup we brew and every cup you buy, you help someone’s life for the better. We’ve also reintroduced plates, cups and teapots for when you’re eating or drinking in, to help reduce waste and disposables.
Special Offer: visit Riverside Café between Monday 17 and Friday 21 January, show that you are following @demontfortunifood on Instagram, and quote ‘CAKE 2022’ and we’ll give you a complimentary cake slice with any large hot drink purchase.
Coffee House (Hugh Aston Building)
We’ve extended our opening times so that you can get a freshly brewed Costa coffee alongside all-day hot and cold snacking and hot pots throughout the day. Grab a caffeine hit when it’s needed with the full Costa hot drinks menu and seasonal special drinks. Then refuel yourself so you’re ready for the day ahead, with freshly baked pastries and warm filled breakfast croissants first thing, or enjoy our hot pot meals, soup pots and baked in-house Proper Cornish pies and pasties from 11am.
We’ve also got that sugar fix covered, with a selection of whole cakes, tray bakes, cookies and loaf cakes available throughout the day. If you’re drinking in, you can choose to enjoy your drink in a Costa cup (and save on the disposable cup cost) or keep the flexibility of a disposable cup so you can head onto campus and continue your day.
Special Offer: visit Coffee House between Monday 10 and Friday 14 January, show that you are following @demontfortunifood on Instagram, and quote ‘COFFEE 2022’ and we’ll upgrade any medium hot drink to a large for free!
Coffee Hut (Campus Centre)
The home of our daily home-baked muffins, served warm straight from the oven. Complement your Starbucks coffee boost with our freshly baked breakfast muffin or home-baked muffin of the week (available from 11am). With Oreo cookie, carrot cake or mini-egg surprise varieties, to name a few, these muffins are baked and prepared daily by our chefs. Be quick though, as once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Special Offer: visit Coffee Hut between Monday 24 and 28 January, show that you are following @demontfortunifood on Instagram, and quote ‘MUFFIN 2022’ and get our home-baked muffin of the week for just £1 with any hot or cold drink purchase.
Library Café (Kimberlin Library)
Find brain food to boost your studies at the Library Café alongside classic Starbucks drinks. You’ll find sandwich meal deals alongside cold savoury snacks, sausage rolls and protein pots. We’ve also got your sweet treats covered with a range of tray bakes, muffins and cookies.
Special Offer: visit the Library Café between Monday 31 January and Friday 4 February, show that you are following @demontfortunifood on Instagram, and quote ‘CHOCOLATE 2022’ and you’ll get a free chocolate bar with any medium or large hot drink.
