The Refectory & The Brasserie
From your morning coffee to a lunch with friends, great food is never far away at Strode College.
Relax, refuel, and recharge
We have four food and drink service areas on campus, using fresh local produce where possible, to provide a range of options to suit different tastes.
Most students gather in the Refectory area at lunch and break times where there are three separate food counters, while the Brasserie is in a quieter area of college.
A full range of vending snacks and drinks are also available in the Refectory.
