Limited food selection but decent prices and sizes. Usually quite empty. Pool table available!
The several times food had not been served after an hour waiting.. to find out the kitchen hadn't even received the food order. With no apology given, was disappointing.
Pretty sure the burgers are Rustler burgers, bought from Tesco nextdoor.
Beers o'rite though!
Now however there's less variety for more money! Definitely not a student friendly bar at all!
Almost everything on the very small menu is high in calories, deep fried, and there is no flexibility in what they can offer.
Although there is a vegetarian burger on the menu, it comes with fries at a set price. You can have the burger on its own but you still have to pay the full price. I asked if there was a healthier option and was told I could have onion rings instead of fries, and a small salad garnish.
The only positive comment I can make is that the gingerbread latte was very nice, although there is only one size available for hot drinks.
Unfortunately, there are two main problems with the menu:
1. There are no healthy options available.
2. It is inflexible, as you have to pay for a set meal which doesn’t help if you’re not very hungry or just want a snack or smaller option.
It is such a shame that students or visitors to the campus are limited to such a disappointing choice of food, when the university could have really taken the opportunity to thrive as a healthy and flexible café to suit everyone.
The government has made it an essential priority to provide healthy food in schools throughout the UK; its a pity that Swansea University couldn’t do the same.
