Eat and Drink

Found at the heart of campus on the ground floor of Union House, the bar is split into two main areas, red bar and blue bar, distinguishable by their colour. You can order food from The Campus Kitchen app. Hungry for a vegan pizza? Order BBQ jackfruit. Bursting for a burger? Choose the flame-cooked beef patty w/ garlic mayo. For a lighter bite, go poppin’ chicken and garlic bread.

To be found in the beautiful glass fronted West end of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, the UEA's on-campus art gallery. Morning pastries start the day followed by a premium menu serving sourdough toasties, salad bowls, full counter service hot lunch and home-baked patisserie. A children's picnic box or smaller portions are also available. Top quality espresso-based coffees, luxury hot chocolates and loose-leaf teas are all on offer alongside a range of soft drinks and Adnams wines, beers and cider.

At Unio, they cater to all your barista needs. Amazing espresso-based coffees, a wide selection of flavoured Pavilion teas, chai latte or luxury hot chocolate. You can customise with syrups, marshmallows and whipped cream! There’s a chilled cabinet where you can choose your favourite sandwich or panini (ready for toasting) on your way through. They have lots of snacks and sweet home-bake treats too. You will find the happy Unio team in the Hive, at the heart of campus.

Need a change of scene while you’re working or just looking for a place to hang out with friends? Grain is a good choice. They’ve got Amico Viva espresso-based coffees, Birchall Teas, cold drinks and a range of homemade tray bakes. If you want something more substantial, grab a delicious hot wrap!

Head to Vista for a business meeting or simply a catch up with colleagues. Alternatively, take a break at Vista for a well-deserved barista made coffee and a square of their chocolate brownie. They also offer salad pots and a daily vegan soup. Choose from filled baguettes (served hot and toasty if you wish!) to enjoy alongside a range of chilled drinks.

There’s a great selection of subs and salads on the menu, including gluten-free subs. But if you don’t see one you fancy, no problem, you can make your own. All the subs and salads are prepared fresh to suit your taste. Wash lunch down with a cup of Roots Blossom coffee or a self-serve draught fizzy drink.

Come here for food made with as many fresh and locally sourced ingredients as possible. The menu covers a wide range of ethnic tastes and has something for all budgets. Pop by for lunch or an early dinner after you’ve finished in the lecture theatre.

Fancy a fry up in the morning? No problem. Looking for a Street Food style food at lunch? They’ve got you covered.
