There is an excellent choice on campus of places where you can eat and drink at reasonable prices – restaurants, bars, cafes, that provide everything from a sandwich to a main meal. Many of our food and drink outlets are open seven days a week, from early breakfast to late at night. And, of course, all our residences have well equipped kitchens so you can enjoy cooking for yourself and your friends. To make it easier for you to manage your money, we also offer our cashless card scheme, ‘Eating at Warwick’. This allows you to pay for food and groceries across the University, helping you to plan and budget throughout the year.

If you want to cook for yourself, all our campus residences have fully furnished kitchens where you can prepare your own food. Shared kitchens come complete with cookers, microwaves, kettles, toasters, fridges and freezers. They are cleaned daily - although you’ll have to do your own washing up!

You don’t even have to go far to buy your groceries - there are supermarkets on central campus and the Westwood campus, and further large supermarkets can be found just a 10-15 minute walk away at the Cannon Park Shopping Centre. Find out more about on-campus facilities and services.
